@frimmel LOL! really love your point about WOTC! Also, appreciate Krieghund’s points about some of the things that could have gone into the booklet. Clearly the 3-page fact sheet helps to clear up a lot of shortcomings. And yes we should be thankful there is a place where we can go and get official rules clarifications. By the way we had a terrific time playing the game. with all the rules under our belt, it was exciting to see all of the different variations and movements that can be made at the Tactical level in this game. Thankyou.
Trucks and supplies…

Frimmel, you are a dear. Thank you very much for these clarifications! This game seems to be very interesting. Even though my allied line got completely overrun and kaput, I definately see the possibility for an allied win in the future.

The Allies are much harder to play in BOTB but victory is possible.

No. A ‘new’ truck may only transport new units from its chart or on board units that have spent a supply to be picked up.
Any offboard Truck can transport units from any reinforcement chart, whether it’s new or not.

Oops. Sorry about that. It’s right there on page 11 under trucks. :oops:

Oh, ok, so it’s actually ok to “pick and choose” what your off-board trucks will load and where it will unload as long as the hex can legally be reached from any of thhe three allied fronts?

Yes. :oops: I was incorrect :cry: in my previous answer. :oops: Just check under trucks in the rulebook, page 11, and you’ll see.
All this right after Krieghund gave me a recommendation for being reliable. :lol:
I’m of the opinion that Krieghund’s answers supercede all others with regards OOB rules for all games with possible exceptions for Larry Harris.

Well, you are, 99% of the time! :wink:

Not that the allies need more thing working against them in this game, but we still play that if Germany surrounds and cuts off the northern cities, you can’t reinforce them with units from the other charts, only from the northern. Sort of makes sense, lest the trucks goes a long way outside the battlefield.

That would be a house rule then. At least according to how I read the rules.
If you use a truck you can put artillery and infantry from the southern chart on the board in a Northern hex and so forth. You can not put a southern unit on a northern hex without using a truck.
I have always played that Tanks must enter via a hex on the side of the board corresponding to the chart they were on. It occurs to me that may be incorrect. :|

No, you’ve been doing it right. Only Trucks may enter the board from any side, regardless of their Reinforcement Chart of origin.
