A&A Minis Module Support - Unit Requests

I like both modes of travel but I’m a soldier.  My son joined the Navy instead.  I play both but I play the army game more!

That’s kinda of my point…who would pay 2 points MORE for 1 pt extra speede and 1 less armour?

I see your point too,
but damn that’s a really cool feature that gives AT guns a real purpose in this game.

Yes. We could try playing out scenarios here in the boards but the games might take too long.

Wow cool, we are going to get the Calliope,  I love the fact we get something halfway good that has rocket salvo…

Agreed on the inserts for tackle/tool boxes - I have one insert for each army, and it keeps them from rattling around (Used to keep each army in a booster box…lol).

I guess my challenge would be getting used to those maps again.

I was thinking of lettered columns and numbered rows, like battleship. Use the facing as described above. Counting movements should not be a prob. I think a code chart for unit shorthand would be wise too, to speed the play.

All in good time mate!

More insomnia.

I got a look at the French tank mini - Renault R35? - yesterday. I noticed it had a cross with indented arms painted on its tail.
Wait up, I thought. That’s not French. It’s Romanian.
A little checking revealed that the Romanian Army had over seventy R35s that they bought from France in the 1930’s.

So, your R35 mini can fight as

-Vichy French, axis, against the British in Syria in 1941 or the Brits and Americans in Tunisia in 1942

Romanian, axis, as German allies against the Russians in 1941-44

Romanian, allied, as Russian allies against the Germans in 1944-5

German, captured, 1941 onwards.

French, allies, in 1944 (they hid a few and dusted them off after D-Day).

For that matter the Syrians used some R35s against the Israelis in 1948, and the Israelis captured several and used them right back….

When fighting alongside the Russians, the Romanians were still using lots of German kit including PzIVs.

In the same vein, there was a short - lived Australian Tank Regiment in Lybia in 1941 equipped with captured Italian medium tanks (they all had to be scuttled as the British didn’t have the diesel fuel to run them), and the British Guards Armoured Division had a ‘pet’ Panther tank named Cuckoo that saw action against its former owners in 1945.

Anyone know any better examples?
