Appears I’ve just suffered a checkmate myself! :x

That rule about enemy-owned cities escaped my eye.

(Guess I did a lot of math for nothing.)

End of thread. :wink:

:? Question about stacking Illustrated! Here’s a graphic at

East (right) of Houffalize is a German force :evil: attacking the Americans in Houffalize. The Half-track represents Armored Infantry. The Tiger tank is SS Panzer. The Panzer IV is ordinary armor. This is turn 3. In the BOB, this would add up to 12 (4 Tanks X 2 = 8; 1 Infantry = 1; 1 Arty = 3).

Is this still the case in your House Rules or does this force add up to 17 (2 Tanks = 6; 2 SS Panzer = 6; 1 Armored Infantry = 2; 1 Arty = 3  8-) and clearly overstacked (after turn 1)?

I know there’s a bonus die roll but that shouldn’t count against stacking. Right?  :-P

ok good

:-) Thanks for replying. I also read theVictory Conditions post. My friend thinks all that should matter is reaching Antwerp–not even on this map. It is on a modified map I refer to in the Larger Map post (to which no one’s replying :x). Of course, the Allies would just retreat to the last hex if only one has to be captured. The Westward penetration requirement is intriguing to me. :roll:

:-D Thanks. I guess I’m getting the hang of this game!

See this thread for a house rule from Krieghund on subs. Linked and then copy/pasted further down.

:-D Thanks again!  :lol:

hi did you ever get this game to work becuase i have the same startup problem.

@General:

And here’s another: when those trucks return to the off-board area, can they take something with them? If there are three supply tokens and an arty, can the truck take those off-board to be brought back on immediately, if desired?

Once units are on the board they are on the board except for trucks and aircraft. You can’t pick up truckable units and take them back to the reinforcement chart. Likewise tanks can’t move off board on their own.

The rules are vague about truck capacity. I understand it to be six units: two arty items. Or could a truck haul six artillery?

Per page 11 of the rulebook there is no restriction on how many artillery a truck can handle. Any combo of supplies, infantry and artillery not greater than six.
