Der Leiter's The War Above (Revised)

@Der:

Sorry guys been real busy…
I’m back…

snapin carrots takes some time… have any skin left?

He definitely cannot board when he’s disrupted.  Unloading I’m notr as sure…

BUT, given that a Mosin CAN unload when not adjacent to a Commander I’ll give btter that 50% that a disrupted unit can unload.

Though as I say that it sounds bad…as in doesn’t make sense.

Too much to drink tonight to lookup the answer…

Just to let people know - I have created several sets of maps and new rules for use with the AAM 1.0 minis. I will post more on this and the Variant Rules forum when they are ready.

The first sets will be for North Africa and War in Europe Sets. Maps for Pacific Theatre and Alpine are also in the works. So you wont have to pitch all of your minis. There is a use for them, and even WTF or Cando minis can be mixed with them.

I have also created new rules and 400 new unit cards for Italy, Japan, Finland, France, England, and of course German and American.

Maybe start by using the “Quick Start” guide.

It teaches you how the dice work etc.

Take a look at that and come back with more questions.

I’ve posted my Air Combat URRs under variant rules for those that are interested.

They make for some pretty fun games.

@FranceTanks:

Could this be the end? This army seems indestructable. I cannot beat it.

Veteran Tiger - 65
4 SS Panzergrenadier - 20
Haupsterfuher - 7
Grizzled Veteran - 8

100 Pts.

I beat an army very similar to this except that there was no Grizzled Vet and the other guy had a sniper…and the builds were slightly larger.
Go w/ what Der Lieter said and avoid vehicles. My build was an all airbore one…British.
Try this:
Defiant Paratrooper x 10 = 80 pts
Inspiring Hero x 1 = 9 pts
Veteran SMLE Riflemen x 2 = 10 pts (remember these guys have steely resolve)
Total = 99 pts

Paras and Aussies should be able to toast the few infantry there. Protect the hero so that he can give you speed to trap and kill the tank. You should be able to keep it at least disrupted once you trap it.

Please. No more French tanks.

Give us Machine Guns, Artillery, Maginot line - obstacles, but PLEASE no more rare tanks!

Over in the Rules Discussion of the Avalon Hill message boards, there’s that project called the “Historical House Rules [HHR]”, and it’s an attept to make the rule-cards more realistic and balanced for quite a few units (others were left alone). Has anyone tried using these? We gave them a spin the other night and they seem alot more realistic and had their actual historical capaicity on the battlefield. My only gripe is that the cards are in the A&AM colors, which means they’ll kill your printer if you want to print 'em up.
