As someone said above, check out these maps if you want more detailed fighting in cities, bldgs etc.

Mot going back to your question about organizing the units, I’m pretty sure now that listing the units by point value from lowest to highest under the countries would work great. The more units you add the tougher it’s going to be to locate them to start up the games.

Here’s some cool stats for the KV2. Hopefully we’ll see it in the eastern front set

I guess I’m up for unit requests

M1 81MM Motar
82mm PM-37 Motar
SGRW 34 81mm Motar
Volkstrum Infantrymen (poor man’s army)

Scenerio Maps…. COOL

Char B1-bis is the best tank of the era period. Sorry but defense of 5/5 and double shot hull cannon is hard to beat. Mot is in for a real chalange. I’ll put my 1939 French army against anything else from that time period. I’ll even tell you the strategy and it’s historically similar to the French system. I’ll move my whole army in one formation and mow down anything in my way. Tanks and infrantry move in formation together. I’ll break formation only in close combat situations.

Let’s do it!!!

Half-Track

Panzer is 1942
Brumbar is 1943
MG 42 is 1942

Ok so you right now you only have your mauser’s and KFZ 251.

Half-Track

My 1939 French Army can beat any 1939 German Army

Char B1-bis X 3
MAS X 7
Alpine Troop X 1
Panhard X 1

Something is wrong with the balance

Half-Track

And the question has been clarified in the faq. It gets the +1 on all movement rolls, not just terrain.

Half-Track

yes it’s movement roll

Half-Track

Bluffs are rare, +1 doesn’t really do much help, and how the hell does being an Alpine unit help to cross a river? Maybe they could have entered a bluff hex like a normal movement, +1? Do the also get +1 on barbed wire?

They totally missed on this unit. Mountain units should have the ability to fight better than elite units while in mountain hexes and should be a little better than an ordinary infantry in other situations

This unit should have been defense of 4/4 adding steady resolve (attack must beat this units defense by two to score two hits. The special attack abilities should be one or more of the following

1. While in hill hexes this unit rolls one extra attack die.
2. While in hill hexes this unit gets +1 when attacking other units in hill hexes
3. This units medium range attack is 2-5 hexes.
4. Enemies in hill hexes attacked by this unit get -1 on cover

Considering mountain units took up good defensive positions one or more special abilities would also work

1. While in hill hexes this unit get unlimited defensive fire
2. While in hill hexes this unit gets +1 on cover rolls
3. While in hill hexes enemies can’t attack this unit at long range.

Check out this new unit special ability. +1 on movement rolls? Maybe I’m missing something but since when does an infantry need to roll for movement to enter a hill hex?

new unit requests

Are we ready to play with aircraft yet? I’d suggest to add them all in one shot.

If not I’ll request
Comet A-34
Type 3 Chi-Nu

Mot I’m confused which are new maps? There are two postings. I’m assuming it’s the top but I’ve clicked on it and it doesn’t work.

Half-Track

well I guess I’ll go again.
SET III

Char B1-Bis
Panzerschreck

Half-Track

Mot to answer you question I think if it’s possible you should make subfolders.

1st folder
Axis or Allies
2nd folder
Countries
3rd folder
breakdown by set
(I think the number order in the set should determine the order that they’re listed in)

I’m not sure if I’m explaining clearly. Just an example. If I want to pick a Thompson Gunner. I’d click 1st on the Allies folder, 2nd on USA and 3rd folder set 5 (maybe calling it reserves would be easier)

If there is a lack of capability to do this, I would think there are two ways to list them

1. By subtype under the country tab. Use the same subtype as the minis database, sort by point value, lowest first.
2. Just by point value under the country tab. (this would be the easiest and probably the easiest way to sort through)

Half-Track

that was a good suggestion
