Use a lot of the same units. Whenever I play, I give one player like 10 shermans if he is the us. or 10 panzer IVs if he is germany. It helps because you have less cards to look at for the movements and attacks. If you cut out air, that shortens it too.
D Day set and gaming
-
So I got the case of D Day releases and am generally quite pleased. As I got to the last box I was hoping for a German or British Rare but got that French tank. Oh well I had no doubles on other rares and am pleased.
What happened to the scale of the 88mm. I know it was a scary piece but its not that big. At the same time there were a couple of other vehicles that came across very small.
So we set up a new map. I made a 3 foot by 8 foot hex map on a roll of brown craft paper. For all of the various terrain types we cut different coloured paper hexes and laid them out. It was a very cool map and I can change the trerrain as desired. We played a European game of 500 point armies in a meeting engagement. It was about four hours to play 7 turns. With so much terrain it was important to build significant transport into the mix and run it up and back shuttling the infantry into the fight.
I lost three Sherman varients just to take out the veteran Tiger.
Great fun!
