Unit stats

@Obergruppenfuhrer:

WHAT??? THats the best freaking news I’ve had all day. (and…that may be a bit pathetic) but who cares. So how do I get this new set card? What new set do I have to start spending hundreds on now? Not that I’m complaining Ducky. No no. I never complain. Just b*tch & moan about losing to the Russians which is what’s happening now. The Strurmpanzer IV, Brummbar, is damaged; but of course, still alive.

If you know anyone that has German armor they probably have some… don’t tell them it is going to be getting revised soon either  :evil: because they may decide to keep them. It’s the Panzer IV Ausf. G from Base Set. The new cards, unfortunately, will be in .pdf format, so you have to download the file and print it out off the official website. The ETA on release is “before the end of August”… So nothing solid yet.

Still too expensive, but better than nothing!

got it…

Thanks

Maybe just for Historic Correctness

Well, I think my group is going to modify the stacking limits spesificly for the purpose of getting two Inf into a halftrack.  I think we will go with 3units per side one vehicle max.  It might get crowded, if it does I’ll make a map with bigger hexes.

You could make a Pacfic Theater airborne scenario.  The U.S. Marines did airdrop onto Corregidor, evne though it was a genuine disaster due to very low drop height.

So back to the German/Chinese issue.

I read the Set II Checklist again and it specifically points out that giving a Chinese army the sdkfz 222 is for scenario play. I think this is just a general rule of thumb for scenarios: if country X had unit Y but unit Y belongs to country Z, just use it in your scenario as country X anyway.

That’s the beauty of this game.

I’m going to start a new thread about Sino-German relations.

I continue to experiment on how best to use those big point tanks….

One thing I have discovered as a bad tactic is “hiding” the tank behind cover (behind a blocking hex) and then trying to spring it on other tanks or infantry.  This almost always ends up with my tank getting charged and cornered, because I had blocked my own LOS… and the opposing tanks could get close to me without drawing fire.

I think tanks are best out in the open… on a hill…with a big field of fire to deter opposing units--  and then at the end of the game if need be parking it on the objective… (for tanks with strong rear defense against close assaults).

p.s On a side note-- I am beginning to hate the SS-Panzergrenadier.  Only when I am shooting at it, of course.
