Lets Talk PT Boats

Well for me, heavy infantry means Panzergrenadier, SS division & Russian shock army.

cost = 4
att = 1 (attack at 2 in the first round of combat)
def = 2 (defend at 3 in the first round fo combat)
move = 1

@Upside-down_Turtle:

You know, a 1-1-2-3 jeep actually makes a good justification for truck pieces being Motorized Infantry at 1-2-2-4, does it not?

Although, were there really whole units made up of jeeps?  In North Africa, maybe.  Perhaps Trucks ought to 1-1-2-3 as well.

Well, it seems that every army needs its fodder units, so I would rather have 1 armor unit 3-3-2-5 and 1 jeep unit 1-1-2-3 for a total IPC cost of 8 than have 2 motorized infantry at 2-2-2-4 at the same IPC cost of 8, because when you lose the first hit, then you still have a 3 attacking/defending.  Now, if you give the motorized infantry the ability to be upgraded by artillery units, then it may be more balanced, but getting the artillery to keep up with them is a different matter.

I agree.  If I had 30 IPCs to spend, I’d buy 5 jeeps and 3 tanks.

let them land where-ever, but you could base their attack/move values on where they take off from.  if from a carrier, they act like a naval fighter, if from land, then a normal air force fighter….

Heavy cruiser

Cost 13
Attack and defend at 3 or less.
Move 3
2 hit.
attack at 2 for the shore bombarment

Light cruiser =
same as cruiser but 1 hit and move = 2
Cost 11

This is my ground unit set-up.  I’m using the FMG AA Gun (nation specific) as a second artillery piece.

enough space, but not enough money from WOTC to develop both.

Actually, it refers to the type of bathing suit worn by the girls painted on the plane.

What are we considering as SPA, becasue if you include tank destoyers i would say they should be good on the defensive, but if you are including rocket artillery they would be good on the offensive.

What if you didn’t have SPA, just a tank destoyer unita and a rocket artillery unit
