Which Set?

lol, I got my son his first gameing system this year, Nintendo DS and your probably right, but so far he is still willing to sit to the table with dad.

Mot, basically there are only two new tanks, a couple of changes to some tanks that are in other sets, renames, country changes, costing changes.  You know the changes better than I do.  See below, I’ve list the ones I know.

I would suggest only to add the two new tanks and work on set III.  Need some Panzerschreck HELP!!! with the new IS2 tank.  A platoon of Panzerfaust is not enough to kill it.  Defense 7/7 + superior armor.  Even if it’s disrupted the Panzerfaust needs to roll 8 out of 10 to damage.

New:
Sherman VS 17-Pounder
Valintine I

Country change:
T-26B (same as Chinese T-26)
M3 Light Tank (same as Stuart)

Name change:
M18 GMC (same as M18 Helcat)
Panzer IV Ausf F2 (same as Panzer IV Ausf. G)

Other several tanks & Vehicles rocosted

Actually, DL, you make a good point there.  I just tend to at least hear people out when it comes to “rumor-mill” type news.  I was just trying to see if anyone else had heard the same thing.

Oh, and good job on calling my Big Lebowski reference, dezrtfish.  :wink:

OMG!!  I cant wait for WaS to come out.  I love how the minis look.  It pwns!!

Take the Goliath for example - during the warsaw uprising the Germans used them to simply drive in and blow up the poles.

@Der:

Soviet Union

BA-10M (Armoured Car, Unc)
BT-7 (Tank, Rare)
Degtyarev DP-27 (LMG, Common)
IS-3 (Tank, Rare)
Soviet M3 Lee (Tank, Rare)
SU-152 (Assault Gun, Rare)
T-35 (Tank, Rare)

… I’ve listed all the units in the set already under the thread called “Set V Unit List”

I completly forgot about the T-35!

Most of these suggestions would go well with the House Rules sets on the other A&AM forums; most of the sets have one common idea when it comes to planes: only units with the SA: Anti-Air should be able to shoot them. Me? I think MGs should too, but that’s just me. But a Garand shooting down a Stuka? Silly. Infantry never did enough damage to planes to warrant how easy it is in the game rules.

From the HHR:

Air Rules

HHR uses the Flak Only Rule. Only Flak and other planes can shoot at planes. The four flak units so far are

the 20mm Flak 38 the Quad 50 the Bofors 40mm the Wirbelwind

The Luftwaffe Inf has been stripped of its AA ability, further changes subject to a full review of that unit (coming shortly). Although the Wirbelwind hasn’t been formally reviewed, we have already voted to give it Double Shot. Any other units that are going to be recognized as Flak units are either future releases or may be introduced on a case by case basis.

All Flak units get a 4 hex zone of defensive fire. During defensive fire, if a flak unit scores a disruption on a plane, and rolls 3 sixes while doing so, then the plane is Aborted and is immediately removed from the map to the off map area with a face up disrupted counter. It may come back onto the map the following turn with its face up disruption counter if the owning player so desires.

Yes, the Soviets don’t have a dedicated AA unit – but their standard AA gun was a knockoff of the Bofors weapon.

From DerickRL’s House Rules (different than HHR):

Aircraft:
When attacking aircraft, all ground units, without the SA: Anti-Air, use their long range infantry attack as a medium range attack, and their medium range attack as their short range attack(with -1 to each die). No long range attacks against aircraft are available to units without the Anti-Air SA.

All soldier units get +1 on each die to cover rolls from aircraft in town or forest hexes.

All short and medium range hexes are considered to be adjacent for purposes of defensive fire attacks against aircraft by Anti-Air units

Artillery & Assault gun’s can not attack aircraft unless they have the SA: Anti-Air.

All units with SA’s: Blast and/or Bombardment cannot attack aircraft.

I think a mix of the two would be nice, since I like HHR’s, but I also like how in the latter units get +1 cover in towns and forests vs. planes.

@Rebel:

So… is this board basically dead? I mean D-day was about 5 sets ago. Anyone really around here anymore, or has everyone gone to the Forumini and Underground?

this post is dead and buried. Most people go to formini now. Much more traffic.
