A&A Minis Module Support - Unit Requests

The planes are 1/600

Most cards that come with the units for both versions (1 & 2) have been revised.  Print the revised cards and everthing is playable together.

A good amount of units from version 1 have been re-released in version 2.  There was no scale for vehicles in V1, some units are almost the same as V2, some are wayyyyyy smaller.

V2 has bigger hexes to hold the larger size vehicles but both version’s maps work.

There are several different rules, I suggest to print the new ones, they are alot different.

Generalyk - I designed the game you speak of.  What do you want to know?

The years are all wrong on those, unless you mean the post invasion Polish forces.  The western Allies had Polish units.  And Russians put togtehr Polish units from the captured territirie to fight the Germans too.

If you are doing Invasion of Poland-era, then stick to 1939.

For the Luksusowa scenario, I did research to see what units the Poles actually fielded.  These are limited to 1939:

Bofors You can even find pictures of Polish-manned Bofor guns on the web

Renault R-35 The Polish government tried to purchase Somoa’s (considered to be the best tank of the era) from the French, but ended up purchasing Renaults.

Bren Machine Gunner  Polish light armour, what they had, were often equipped with BRENs.

Bold Captain 1939 Commander…and he’s defense-oriented.

Bohler 47mm Antitank Gun 1939-era anti-tank gun.

This is the kind of thing that would make me want to try eBay.

I’ve got that one on my Ipod soon to be on my “Music to War to” CD

I’m really suprised no one’s created somthing like this. There goes any chance of me playing AAM  :cry:

Rangers are strong competitive piece, though unless they get new (non-improved) indirect fire units the Spotter SA is mostly just thematic.

(Edit)Here’s my full review:

As the opening salvo says, “its inevitable that it will be compared to the Axis workhorse, the SS-Panzergrenadiers.” Quite true, though thankfully the Rangers have enough differences to keep them from being just carbon-copies.

The Lead the Way SA is interesting in that it’s once per turn, not per phase (or during movement and/or assault), so be careful when you use it; unless it’s to grab a last minute objective, re-rolling a movement roll isn’t too important, though thematically it’s nice.

Spotter is again nice, if not too useful. The M1 81mm Mortar doesn’t need a spotter, nor do spotters enhance them, and the open back M7 105mm Priest is an easily neutralized unit. I suppose you could save 1 point and use the Russian mortars instead if you really wanted to. Also, lacking the Spotter SA they can’t enhance aircraft.

The Rangers have slightly improved defence and a re-roll over the similar Veteran SMLE Riflemen; the only time the Australian unit is, well when you can’t take Rangers (eg Pre-1942 game). By themselves the Rangers are at the high end of 5 points, but compared to the Garand they perhaps should have been 6; as is they make the Garand fairly useless. Sure the Garands can have the same dice, without a re-roll, but that requires more points for an adjacent commander, and is -1/-1 defence.

A great unit that I’m sure will see a lot of use both in casual and competitive games: 4.5/5
