I saw your post sitting so long I registered to give you a few pointers on maps. Most if not all the WotC map packs are themed in some way. Originally they were 2" hexes but were changed some time ago. The map packs you mentioned are themed as follows: North Africa - 3 Desert maps and on reverse side 3 jungle maps. Eastern Front - 3 town/factory maps and on the reverse side 3 Russian steppes maps. There are two starters, the one in the cardboard box is the old one and contains 12mm mini’s and 2" hex maps. the new starter is in a blister pack and has 15mm mini’s and 3" hex maps. The maps in the new starter are mixed forest/hills/clear. The rules and revised cards are downloadable through the WotC site.
Questions about line of sight of fixed gun tanks and supperior armour
-
Hi
This will probably sound stupid but when it says this tank can only target things infront of it does that mean right in front is in only a in a straight line or just things that are generaly in front? :?
And can things that have supperior armour still be disrupted?
Thanks for any feedback

1. The Front is anything through the forward three hexes that the vehicle is facing. Anything out of the rear three hexes is back. Finally, any LOS traces directly through the sides is neither front nor rear. (See this link for the diagram, etc: http://boards.avalonhill.com/showthread.php?t=10279)
2. Vehicles with Superior Armour (or soldiers with steely resolve) are disrupted the same way as any other unit SA/SR only protects against the possibility of one attack scoring two hits; disruption and destroyed (through successes equal to double the defence) are unaffected.

No problem.
I’ve found that in general it helps that, when considering the AAM rules, you follow them by what they say and not what they mean. Real-World logic doesn’t always apply; though often this is just for playability.
