New maps?

If you want a map, on trollandtoad they have random maps for $3.50 apiece, I’m no0t completely sure if you’re asking this because you don’t have a  map or just want to play without one……

I’m thinking they are opening pandoras box.

Yes, you used to be able to bump an isolated infantry every now and then, but it was easy to fugure out.

If you wait until the end of the turn it will a nightmare to manage.

As you said, you move 2 Inf into a hax that already conatins two inf.  The two original Inf now try charge forward in an MG and get disrupted so they cannot move.  But its the end of the turn and you’ve moved a dozen units.  Now what, you have to “unmove” the first two Inf that you moved to fix the overstack, hoping you remember which hexes they came from?

It gets insanely worse with vehicles.

No, that will break the game.  They’ve done some odd things in the past, but this will break the game.

I have to beileve that the rule will be different than we are guessing.  Something like, any unit that is overstacked cannot Attack.  So you can overstack all you want, but if you dont resolve it by the end of the turn then that unit is pretty much a hood ornament.  Or something equally different.

Thanks for the heads up, we’ll all have to keep our eyes peeled.

Overwatch is not an official rule, its optional.  Be careful not to confuse the “Expanded Rules” (optional) with the new Revised rules update (which is really only 3 or 4 rules adjustements).

@Half-Track:

Looks good, lets test it out.

Germans should get some obsticles for free, 4 free pill boxes and 3 sandbaged MG42.

I also think allied infantry should be allowed an attack to destoy obsticles.  On thier movement phase you can declare an infantry to destroy an obsticle in an ajacent hex (basically the infantry is placing the explosive).  On the attack phase the obsticle is destroyed on a roll of 4 or higher.

Only think the only thing missing is the German artilary firing on the beach.  How do you recreate that?

How about a similtanuous game on a seperate map, round for round.  With US para having to take out some german artilary in a hedgerow.  Until they destoy the artilary, the artilary fires on all beach units.  I’m not sure how to use the artilary.  I’m thinking on the d-day map, at the beginning of the movement phase, roll three dice.  On three sucesses the unit gets a face up disrupted counter.  Rolling three sixes and the unit is immediatly destroyed.  Again this is just an artilary attack for any units on the beach.

DZ, I’ve never seen your comments about this but I have some more ideas.  I still like the idea about the sandbagged MG42 and pillboxes.  I think both side should have

Artilery-Bombardment (I actually stole this from another scenario)
Germans would be able to target the beach hexes, only the beach. 
After the iniative phase the German player would roll one die.  The result is the number of units disrupted by the artilery bombardment.  (Germans players choice for disrupted units)

Naval-Bombardment
The allied warships will be able to target a certain number of hexes inland. 
After the German Artilery phase, the allied player will roll two die.  The result is the number of units disrupted by the naval bombardment.  Units in pillboxes are not affected.  It costs three to disrupt a sanbaged unit.  (Allied players chioce for disrupted units)

lol, I got my son his first gameing system this year, Nintendo DS and your probably right, but so far he is still willing to sit to the table with dad.

While it’s true that most of the WotC maps are on grass, not all of them are. Additionally many players have made their own custom desert maps, and I’m helping to work on a winter one (for Battle of the Bulge)

Paratroopers, Armoured/Scout Cars, even Heavy Tanks firing AI at it all work well.  I’ve found the best units are the bikes and polish cavalry.

The trick is not to let the Bofors get it’s points worth or more, so don’t expose units unnecessarily to it.

I can only hope and wonder what will be included in the new booster. A couple friends of mine and i were wondering what the planes will look like and we came to the conclusion that they might go the same route as “hero clix” and have the clear base. Also, do u think that they will include german motorcycles? sidecars? They have already released a ton of german units, but will they cut back? -PEACE
