North Africa: 1940 - 1943 Complete Set List

Actually, DL, you make a good point there.  I just tend to at least hear people out when it comes to “rumor-mill” type news.  I was just trying to see if anyone else had heard the same thing.

Oh, and good job on calling my Big Lebowski reference, dezrtfish.  :wink:

@dezrtfish:

As far as air goes, I don’t like the idea of a sniper taking out a P51, that just seems quite improbable.  An MG42 I can see.  I also can’t imagine an M1 Garand nailing an ME109.  Could it happen? maybe, but probably not.

Again I see it as more of a playability issue. Is it realistic? No, not even close. Heck really planes shouldn’t be in the game at a such a small level. However, I shouldn’t be completely screwed over just because I’m not using dedicated AA, which is otherwise a bit of a waste if my opponent doesn’t use aircraft (perhaps this is where a sideboard comes in… :).
It seems to me that these rules are encouraging a more defencive game and creating an environment where you want your infantry spread out - that way they’re less prone to enfilade/grazing shot, and can also perhaps get in line with a plane to help bring it down.

I didn’t get to play a game sunday with the rules, but I hope to some time this week to try them out.

Yes, you are right about the planes being rares. I looked at the previews on the Avalon Hill site again and it seems I mistook the rare symbol for the uncommon symbol. Which is is something very easy to do, given that it is so small.

@panzerkampfwagen:

It comes out November 11th.

MechanizedWarfare the russians didnt have an operational halftrack until after the war(Even then it was a US M3 halftrack). There was one experimental Halftrack the BA-30, but it was never adopted for mass production or service.

Yea I know, I was hoping they would let the Ruskies use the US M3 halftrack as a Russian unit.

@Rebel:

So… is this board basically dead? I mean D-day was about 5 sets ago. Anyone really around here anymore, or has everyone gone to the Forumini and Underground?

this post is dead and buried. Most people go to formini now. Much more traffic.

I had the same as above, except i had a carro armato. Its better to get the boosters and then if u have any dye use them cause what u get for 30 bucks isnt worth it. PEACE

Oh man got one of the best boosters, got the bofors, the zero, the MGC (freakin tight anti-tank-tank), SS Stormtrooper, german stug III, ummm and some other sweet shit like the jap armored truck, the only shitty thing i got was the american observing jeep, lol, it blows. PEACE

@Strebe:

-more early war armour

Hell yea. I could totally dig more EW anything.

Well, actually I could totally dig more A&AM models to play with in general…
