Unit stats

Depending on the year, the Finnish soldiers can fight off the Russian and then fight off the Germans.  Do they come with skis on or a sauna?

@Motdc:

I recall reading that the Poles (I think…maybe it was the French) would cut the wires of the Goliath to defeat them before they detonated.  They were remote controlled, not radio controlled.

Wow! I had no idea about this technology and I study the Reich all the time. Looks like it’s back to the books for me.

@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.

@Der:

Now we’re talking… :evil:

Yes man! Your Erwin Rommel quote almost made me spit my drink all over the laptop. Hilarious. That’s awesome. I love that man. I wish HE could have run the whole show.

I agree, when I saw his build I thought I might be ok as long as I didn’t get the Urban map.  and then that crazy first shot he made!  Usualy several shots bounce off the E8 before it’s dammaged.  I was only able to take two Pzr IVs with me. :-(

Now it’s down to a couple M1 Garands and a sniper…

Here’s my list for Polish units http://boards.avalonhill.com/showpost.php?p=222941&postcount=8

My older 1939 Poland is listed here under the scenario subforum.

Yes, you are right about the planes being rares. I looked at the previews on the Avalon Hill site again and it seems I mistook the rare symbol for the uncommon symbol. Which is is something very easy to do, given that it is so small.

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.
