@RisingSun I had similar experience, I was big into the naval miniatures but couldn’t afford both. I bought a lot on ebay a year or so ago and have played a few games. It is not difficult to learn especially if you are familiar with the navy side, it’s pretty similar but includes facing. I think it’s a great game and wish I had collected it some when it was active.

-

cool… im trying to organize a big (not sure on da size yet) Operation Barbarossa Campain/Scenario…
Were I play though we r short on T-34s :-P Im also hunting for some T-20s and possibly will use the new early soviet armor in the upcomming set…
-
HUH? no Kursk? Market Garden? El Alamein?

@Imperious:
HUH? no Kursk? Market Garden? El Alamein?
I prefer early scenarios… although I love Krusk, but I lack a number of tanks to make it interesting… panzer III & IV’s r relativly cheep to get so I can build in mass :lol: Der Leiter has done a gaint Krusk battle… very nice pics too! My playing group lacks enough T-34s (but im working on that!) I will defently run this campain when I have enough units!
As for El Alamein… well thats true I dont see many campains on this one, but we are missing some British tanks nessary. I want some Mitilda tanks!
Market Gardens is a wizards scenario…

@Imperious:
HUH? no Kursk? Market Garden? El Alamein?
Already did Kursk and El Alamein.
Market Garden is further down the road, though definately one to be done. It’s just deciding how to impliment that one…
Kursk was great fun, but a little lopsided; the Tiger Company seems to be to blame. If I were to every do it again I’d cut it down to a Platoon and add more Panthers (Especially the new ones coming out).
Right now we’re all a little tired of Europe, hence the move to the Pacific.
However, I’m looking forward more to the Battle of France coming after it - I just really like those early war france scenarios.

DL, how do you factor in Otto Skorzeny and his SS Kommandos? Are they just units that you guys made for this battle personally?
-
Otto Skorzeny and the SS Kommandos were priced as paratroopers (+3 points). I didn’t think the misinformation ability would have enough of an impact to warrant more (and as it turned out, it didn’t).
-
What is this “Misinformation” ability you’re talking about? Can you include their stats and whatnot? I’m only curious because I know that they are not standard units from any of the sets, so…
-
Deployment: This unit is deployed after all other units on both sides. They may be deployed anywhere on the map; but must all be adjacent.
Disguised: These units begin ‘disguised’. While disguised they cannot be attacked at long or medium range. A unit is no longer disguised - replace with the appropriate figure marked in ()'s - when any of the following occur:
(1) It attacks.
(2) At the end of any phase it is adjacent to an enemy soldier.
(3) It is turn 7 or later.
Disguised units still use the cards of the figure marked in ()'s.Misinformation: After the casualty phase if there are any disguised units left you may place one minefield in the hex of any one of the disguised units.
Added Otto’s card, but we didn’t actually use that one.

Otto’s pretty bada$$! His and the other Kommandos’ abilities seem like they would come in very handy during games. :wink:

Yes, but I don’t think the German players used them to their fullest; Otto and his Kommandos were more of an afterthought to them.
