Wish list for contested skies

The BF 109 F might be in but I’m not sure.

It’s ok. That’s what I voted but in retrospect, I probably should have at least said “I like it.”

With “The European Battle of the SS”, “The battle for Narva” and the Demansk Pocket all strongly repelled by divisions of the Waffen SS, I was really hoping for more infantry that would go deeper into members of the Waffen SS. Even going into specific divisions that did outstanding like Totenkopf, Das Reich, Leibstandarte and even notorious foriegn legions like Wiking.

Just on a side note, I also think the Weihrmacht Oberleutnant is still WAY too many points. I could maybe see 10 but 13 is ridiculous.

They should have an SS Oberleutnant. Also, while the Allies have a number of partisan troops, some of which are really good, they don’t repressent the Anti-partisan units recruited by the SS on the Eastern Front very well. These volunteer units played a very significant role in repelling other partisans and Russians. In addition to that I wish they would have gone deeper into the Russian NKVD units used.

On the other hand, one can’t complain too much. The Germans are excellent in this game. My main complaint is if the Allies (Russia) can use partisans to deploy anywhere on side hexes of the board, with an urban combat bonus then the Germans should be able to symolize the anit-partisan units they raised that successfully repelled a significant part of this activity with that same bonus.

The Fallschirmjager Veteran is able to move when disrupted.

In a way, its the opposite of Hard Charger.  Recall that Hard Charger clears the disrupt at the END of the move phase which means a disrupted SE Paratrooper is pinned.

Still, I’m disappointed.  For 10 points I was really hoping something cool.

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

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 just bought 4 boosters 2day n was lucky enough to pull 2 aircrafts ( 1 IL-10 Sturmovik n 1 messerschmitt bf 109 E) but the last last 2 boosters i got 2 Flakpanzer IV Wirbelwind…(which one of is to be traded in the trading post…which i have already update… :-D)…most of the uncommon vechicles i got was frm the german faction…most useable was the elite panzer IV ausf d…the uk  bofors l60 is a good anti aircraft unit…the infantries are also impresive specially the 82mmm pm 37 mortar, communist partisan, quad 50, snlf fanatics the bmw r75 20mm flak 38… how about u how did u do?

Add this to the mix…a Stuka Pic!
