@Der:
The first super heavy tanks were the Char 2Cs, not the Pz VIII Maus. They were roughly the same weight as a King Tiger; the Char 2C bis, though only around brielfy, weighed even more and has a 155mm howizter.
Well yes, they would have fit in reserves just fine, I really don’t think we need yet another huge German tank. There’s much more important units to fill in.
Agreed :wink:
@Der:
I went 2-1+ at leage night
I was 2-0 with my soviet squad
KV-1 x1
T-34 Guards x1
T-70 x1
Cossack Captain x1
Fanatical Sniper x1
Soviet Grenaiders x2Worked pretty well unfortuently the grenaders get so left behind from the action that they make little difference…
.

Any ideas what I should run instead of the soviet grenadiers?The Grenadiers should have still been easily able to take the objective, what happened?
If you find they really aren’t doing the trick then replace them with another Sniper or two Cossack Cavalry.
They just seem to slow in this build… i didnt have enough infanty so that might be part of the problem! The problem was that everything else had more speed and the battle was decided before I could bring them back into action. I think I will drop the T-70 maybe for more infantry, though soviet infantry bothers me that they dont have a decent basic unit… the greindiers and pps get shot at before they can engage due to limited range and the MN is comand dependent and to use it u need to almost build your team around it… I try to use the transport tank abuilities to off set this but not as god as i would like.
I assume that’s for Minitures only? Cause 12/7/2006 I could actually attend if it was for the board games.
Ya sorry right now we are minis only… but in future we may do some of the board game!

Hence how would you correct my Army?
I don’t know very-well tha “transport rule”
What advantages wouldl my captain have on KV?
Please, help me to build my Red Army
Well, The KV-1 + Cossack Captain as a tank rider is the combo… after that u’ll need some extra armor like a t-34 and some infantry… u’ll need more than a kv-1 against most german armor heavy builds.
Post-Set 5 I may try to run the KV-1 with 2x BT-7’s instead of T-70’s or a T-34… this will leave run for a lot of infantry… but a little weaker armor wise.
The Elefant suxs as a game peice, but it is sexy looking!
Fallschirmjager is a pretty solid peice… expectations were a little too high… hell if it was better of a ss pg we would have problems!
Panhard isnt too bad… but interesting
@Der:
The mini is very nice, I might try to make one.
The stats I’ll pass on, otherwise we’ll see him riding a KV-1 around disrupting enemy units :roll:
Lol that would be fun though! lol
@Der:
There’s no real ‘special’ way to kill a KV-1 or Su-152. As with any big tank I usually attack with one unit and then follow up with another. The KV-1 doesn’t have especially good AT dice, and the Su-152 has limited arc and can’t defencive fire. Hetzers, Panthers, or a Tiger supported by a Hezter work well (though that’s a fair amount of points for a 100pt game)
Su-152 has a fix turret has a weakness when fighting multiple armor especally with a lot of trees!
Hetzer are great… any others I dont use unless a scenario asks for them… lets see how the Elefant turns out! But im not gonna hold my breath!
For next weeks Reserves preview. I want to see the German Fallschirmjäger so I can finally see how a REAL Battle of Carentan would be like. :-D
Same… Its in my top 3 units im interested in this set… 1) Panther D 2) BT-7 3) Fallschirmjäger and possibly SU-152 and Elephants for big games :wink:
Other than that… meh that gets me all happy inside…
Why must u rain on my paraide LOL
Yep forgot about that but still is a great deal!
& set V wil allow 4 a cheap Panther at 35 points! Although it wont have SS determination like its 49 pts brother ;)
@Der:
Soviet Union
BA-10M (Armoured Car, Unc)
BT-7 (Tank, Rare)
Degtyarev DP-27 (LMG, Common)
IS-3 (Tank, Rare)
Soviet M3 Lee (Tank, Rare)
SU-152 (Assault Gun, Rare)
T-35 (Tank, Rare)… I’ve listed all the units in the set already under the thread called “Set V Unit List”
I completly forgot about the T-35!
ont have a link but they will get:
IS-3
Lend/Lease M3 Lee
BT-7
BA-10
SU-152
some infantry… Degtyarev DP 27
Here r some pics, not all of the stats r out http://boards.avalonhill.com/showthread.php?t=15191
Ya if I play a large scenario we use renforcements!
Happy they made the BT-7! Unfortuently… the USSR stuff r all rares…
Im really looking forward to the Panther & the BT-7
Centuran is pretty cool for different time period wars ;)
IS-3 is a meh… shouldnt be made but its an expermental unit just like alot of others (including the Centuran) I was most upset by the British jet, especally since there are a lot of other British Planes that should be made and saw heavy action.
How does a rare like a KV 1 compare to other rares? For instance a Cromwell IV. Is a 1 on 1 trade fair?
KV-1 is one of the better rares in the game… while the Cromwell IV is an o.k. rare (i would value it about $5-6) while I would say the KV-1 is more in $10+
If u were the owner of the KV-1 i wouldnt mke the trade
Well I wish I lived there… we have a bunch of new players (I am relativly new) mostly very young… like Jr. High… and im in college so its kinda werid lol… But the guys that run the torry are vet players so its ok. But with all new players collections arnt as huge. I find ebay easy to get what I need, though trading is always preferable…
