Battle of ASU

@RisingSun I had similar experience, I was big into the naval miniatures but couldn’t afford both. I bought a lot on ebay a year or so ago and have played a few games. It is not difficult to learn especially if you are familiar with the navy side, it’s pretty similar but includes facing. I think it’s a great game and wish I had collected it some when it was active.

@Ducky:

North Africa is no laughing matter! The Reserves are a good set to collect too. They are good at filling out the armies. They have some cool units that on their own need support, but overall make for a stronger force. There are still some good core pieces, like the PzKpfw 38(t), Panther Ausf. D, Rangers, M22 “Locust”, Intrepid Hero, and the newly costed IS-3 (now costs 71). The Panther Ausf. D is just so awesome for what you pay. Here’s the card:

Also!!! The coolest platoon I’ve found so far, it’s not in the expanded rules, but in a .pdf on the official site… German Panther Platoon, 95 points: 1x SS-Panther Ausf. G + 2x Panther Ausf. D… Normally, even with the price drop on the SS one, that would cost 112 points. It’s a pretty deadly combo. I really want to find 2 more Panther D’s now, so I can field 2 Panther platoons and combine them with an ammo dump for a good 200 point tank battle.

Here’s the links to the files with both the expanded rules and the second batch of formations, they are both in .pdf format once unzipped:

Thanks Ducky. I just began a 250 point battle VS. Americans. I, for the first time in years, put my Tiger 1 on the field with my new 7.5CM LEL G18 . In the first turn, I took 47 points off him without one casualty. Just a damaged Panzer III Ausf F.

What’s funny is we’ve got seperate units on both sides of the board engaging each other. There’s a field in between. My Tiger ! and the 7.5 have CLOSED down that lane. He straight up moved his artillery behind a town and his tanks even ran for cover. He’s SO intimidated by this Tiger it’s hilarious. Units RUN across the lane and hide. The slaughter on the East side of the field in the first and second turn was so great, he’s re allocating all his units West. Um well, the Objective is in the East surrounded by hills only opened to the east.

I just can’t believe how intimidated he is by this single piece of armor. Why doesn’t his bad ass Hellcat just take me on? We’d both probably die! He mounted 2 quad 50s on Universal Carriers (one in the east and one in the West) and they are both gone.
He has still yet to fire in turn 2 so we’ll see what kind of casualties I take but so far this Tiger has his whole god damn army hiding! It’s ridiculous. But man, what a slaughter for 2 turns. He’s done. All because his movements have all been so evasive and all his presses with Bar Gunners and other grunts have been torn apart by my MG teams. His next firing faze will probably take out all 4 of my MG teams but they’ve taken a few gallons of blood out of his army.

It was fun to see one of his units try to flank and get pinned down in the field. My tiger took it out in a heartbeat.

i’m not sure when excatly i’ll do the german forces but should be soon. the russsians should be done except for the 2nd aorborne division. the use 2-IL while teh only planes russia had are the 10-IL. not sure if i should just count them as a half of 10-IL. it look slike there is aproxximently 150 air units (this is just a guess based on the size of a divison). that would be 3 10-IL if you divide by 54. but if they are not counted to there fullest extent then the could have 1, 2 or 3 airplanes. i’m thinking 2 10-ILs(if any at all)

The Battle of Stalingrad is over. Pics for the second half of the battle start here: http://boards.avalonhill.com/showthread.php?t=17404&page=3

very good example without answer….

A successful defensive-fire attack disrupts the target. Since disrupted units can’t move, this
normally ends that unit’s movement. Grizzled Veteran ignore face up, so it can move.
If you are playing with Lethal Defensive Fire (Expanded Rules is another history.
