Tanks reflecting historical accuracy

[David '06]

I was thinking since in the early part of world war II, the Germans used the Panzer III and Panzer IV. The Panzer III war used for anti-tank Purposes and the Panzer IV for infantry unit, I think. So here’s the stats for the proposed tanks

Pz. IV
atk.: 7
Def. 7
Mov: 2
Cost: 6

SPs:
Can only cause a hit on a MA or HA on a roll of 2 or less. Can blitz.

Pz. III
Atk: 5
Def: 4
Mov: 2
Cost: 6

SPs:
Target selection on 1-2 (vehicle class units). Could Blitz. Can’t target select HA.

@david-06 these weaknesses only apply to Panzer IIIs and IVs built before jan 1942 and can be upgraded (the ones built before jan 1942) for 1 IPP per tank

Going on to Russian Tanks, the Prices of the T-34 dropped overtime.

T-34 model 1941
Atk: 5
Def: 5
Mov: 2
Cost: 6

SPs:
Can Blitz. Can only be hit on a 1 (the turn Germans do Operation Barbarossa) but if the Russians build more than 3 of these tanks this effect get negated. Can only hit HA or Pz 5 on a 1. When attacking with this tank and you roll a 12 this tank retreats.

T-34 model 1942
Atk: 5
Def: 4
Mov: 2
Cost: 5

SPs:
Can Blitz. Can only hit HA or Pz 5 on a 1. When attacking with this tank and you roll a 12 this tank retreats. Available Jan 1942

T-34/85

I think while it would be kinda cool to have differing values for different nations tanks, adding the rules to each adds too much complexity and stuff to balance/

At best what you would want to go for maybe one specific special rule to each nation’s armour unit, if that’s what you wanted to do.

@insanehoshi I was actually thinking of specific tanks reflecting real tanks, though I could muster something up.

[David '06]

@insaneHoshi Here are the rules.

Historical tanks house rules

Atk: 7
