Unit stats

i thought it had a bigger gun than a is-3 so 15 for the kv-2 and 18 for is-1/3?  this is right correct or did the is-2/3 hav a bigger gun than the kv-2

The years are all wrong on those, unless you mean the post invasion Polish forces.  The western Allies had Polish units.  And Russians put togtehr Polish units from the captured territirie to fight the Germans too.

If you are doing Invasion of Poland-era, then stick to 1939.

For the Luksusowa scenario, I did research to see what units the Poles actually fielded.  These are limited to 1939:

Bofors You can even find pictures of Polish-manned Bofor guns on the web

Renault R-35 The Polish government tried to purchase Somoa’s (considered to be the best tank of the era) from the French, but ended up purchasing Renaults.

Bren Machine Gunner  Polish light armour, what they had, were often equipped with BRENs.

Bold Captain 1939 Commander…and he’s defense-oriented.

Bohler 47mm Antitank Gun 1939-era anti-tank gun.

That’s kinda of my point…who would pay 2 points MORE for 1 pt extra speede and 1 less armour?

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…

got it…

Thanks

I heard that as well.  It seemed that at tourney’s  people were stacking their armies with all hero’s so a general house rule of one hero. I do not think it’s mentioned in the rules at all.  Some tactics can be employed as far as 4/4’s go.  I too have no problem mixing units.

example:                4/4 Bar gunners  support 5/5 Ranger’s I sure people can come up with more but that just springs to mind.

You have to be carefule I was used like a tool when I sent KAR 98’s against Screaming Eagle’s (First game) It was a blood bath. The trick is to play to the utits strengths and use supporting units.  I’m a big fan of snipers and MG42’s

Your the subject matter expert, and not to blow sunshine anywhere but I trust you comments.  Thanks for all the info!!

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.
