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.
Sure. The best online retailer for this sort of thing is Historical Board Gaming. go there and you will find every piece to almost every AA board game, even some Anniversary pieces. Of course, Ebay is a good way to acquire pieces as well.
To reiterate, Tide Of Iron is a board game, in that its not collectable. Everyone gets the same stuff in their box, just like other board games. They have an expansion that adds some more units and scenarios I think, according to the website.
I’m considering putting ToI on my Christmas list, if I here enough positive reviews of it.
Understood on 100 point armor builds but the year makes a huge difference. Is this just in general, or are you building for a specific scenario?
Your initial question is a 100point armor build viable for the germans? Just an opinion but, Yes. On earlier scenarios as you go up it will get harder and you will have to be more creative lets say 1943 and up (the allies just have good cheap stuff). The 35 pt Panther(1942 I think) a brummbar(1943) and a Hetzer(1944) are all good. The Brummbar is priceless against infantry and is fairly cheap 22.
If by tourney para bomb you mean too many paratroopers to shoot at. then the answer to this is NO. this 150 point build isn’t the way to go. I tried this and my buddy brought out 8 paratroopers and 2 captains. that alone caused way too much chaos, not to mention the shermans. i haven’t tried it against an all out sherman swarm. but again i would say NO. shermans are so powerful especially in hordes. ( but that def of the KT is awe strucking)
