Thanks.

Alrighty then…

There’s quite the confusion with me and my buds when it comes to the amphibious assault rules.

If the landing units defeat the defending inland units, do they stay on the beach or move up to the desired zone in the same turn? Will a landing force have to STOP at a beach if there are NO enemies inland present? And lastly, do landing units have to fight inland enemies of EVERY adjacent inland zone or only the inland zone they wish to invade? Thanks.

Oh, one more thing - at the very beginning of the game - are the US land units at the set up considered loaded on the transports?

ch0senfktard

Will there be transports included in the Axis Minor set 2?
I ask since the picture on the main page of HBG doesn’t show a transport yet the list on the set page includes a transport.
Also, it says the set would have 30 pieces, but counting all of them leads to 32.

Alrighty, time to see how this whole PBF works.

Getting me all excited here.
Man, can’t wait. Hope I get some before my next game.

@rjkesq82:

ch0senfktard - VERY interesting concept with the artillery…upgrades all those 1 infantry to 2 or les infantry…that’s nice…I will run some mock battles through the battle calculator later using that concept…I like it…

Yeah, I used to do all tanks when I first played.
Then I decided that having artillery instead would be a hell lot better than tanks, as long as you got infantry to upgrade.
But that’s battle performance, I like units getting to the front lines quick, so I stuck with tanks after turn 1.
Then at some point I incorporated Mechs and I personally found it to be more successful than just using tanks.
If there was an option for SPG units, I would probably use a Tank/SPG/Mech combo, but eh.

Since Artillery are slow moving, I found them best for round one, since I don’t usually invade Russia until Round 3. But even if I invade in Round 2, those Artillery will just be 1 space behind my main army and its just a turn away from reinforcing a stack before it goes to Moscow.
@ItIsILeClerc:

Results: Building 21ARM before the attack on Moscow gives the exact same result as building 31MECH instead. Building 11ARM + 15MECH however (~50/50 IPC allocation), gives slightly better results.

Try doing 13 Tanks + 12 Mechs.
Thats 126 IPCs like your examples give, see how it goes. I remember doing 1-1 buys instead of 50/50 IPC buys when I used to play Germany.

ch0senfktard

That’s what I always do when I’m going all against Russia.
If I’m not doing a Sea Lion feint on round 1, then my purchase is 7 Artillery.
Every purchase after round 1 is half tanks, half mechs pushing towards Moscow.
Of course, might have to change it up a bit as the game progresses, but I find Mechs & Tanks my most common German units.

@ch0senfktard:

Got the Set-Ups printed out, now I have nice large, easy to read set up cards.
Beautiful, I love them, thank you so much for making them. Beats having a lame few pages of printer paper with the game set up on them by a long shot.

Did you make the changes to reflect 2nd edition setups? There were changes to units.

Think ya should read the thread title again :wink:

@coachofmany:

We WILL start shipping on Monday May 5th. we have had many QC issues with this set.
We are very sorry.

And with that news, I just had to order another 3 Jap expansion sets, for a total of 6.
The thought of having only 6 of HBG’s Japanese subs & destroyers instead of 12 was killing me.
MUST replace everything OOB with HBG…

ch0senfktard

Have they been getting shipped out yet?
I can’t wait for the email! :-D

@georgemak1:

Can someone plz tell us when are the japanese sets will start ship?

Yes, plz.

@Yavid:

Every single time I set up France which is done last, I pull the pieces out and go to put the first tank on the board and go :-( oh yeah they’re Russians. So yeah being able to step back and look at the whole board and smile at how just awesomely cool it looks would be really kick ass. I hate blue Russians so much I’ve toyed with the idea of using the French units from A&A14.

http://www.historicalboardgaming.com/France_c_209.html

Why not use a Stuart… or perhaps even a hellcat to replace that T-34?
Sure, still isn’t historically accurate, but certainly is better than France using Russian stuff.

Continuing a formerly F2F game.

Here’s the file, bud. So, shall we do a PBF or live?

ch0senfktard

Hell yeah.

ch0senfktard

No, that’s a KV-2.

But it’s pretty much the same thing, with exception to the turret and gun.
