Scenarios

Wondering if anyone has created point equivalencies (versus specific units) for the scenarios with the Expanded Rules? Playing them at equal points per side does not seem to work…thanks!

got alot more units for germany its now my largest nation but only a few more russian troops have been added

Just clarified the Victory Condition phrasing a bit.  As was previously written, the game MUST have gone on to turn 10.  The intent was that 10 turns is the longest that match can go on.

After some time (about two months) there’s a new scenario!!! YEAH, but w/out PDF.  I just can’t understand why they couldn’t take the extra time to put it on a PDF.  It makes it so much visually better.

This build is for reasonably open tank fighting terrain:

88mm Flak 36  19pts
SS Hauptsturmführer   7pts
Kar98   3pts
29pts

Sd Kfz 250     8pts
Veteran Tiger 65pts
2xElitePanzer IV Ausf. D 36pts
SS-Panzer IV Ausf. F2 32
2xsIG 33 30pts
          171pts

Total           200pts
10units

After I drop the 88 the 250 can pick up the Captain and move with the mixed mobile force to break the Ruskies like so much straw!

I dont see any long bridges on the maps, or wide rivers…

@Malachite:

I doesn’t feel like the scenario or even the A&A mini game itself was play tested very much.  I hope for set 3 they make a new starter pack with revised rules.

You’re probably right about the scenario not being play tested much. As for the game, I’m sure it was play tested a lot but with the wrong focus in mind. Play testing probably involved:

Play testers that are more used to play testing board games like Axis & Allies.

Play testing with the minimum age limit in mind. Keep it simple and “fun” for the kids.

I have heard that they didn’t expect the target market for this game to be older both in age and maturity (Some teenagers are just more mature and adult than others).

But it takes a while to fix things like this in a fast releasing collectible miniatures game.
