This is the kind of thing that would make me want to try eBay.

@dezrtfish:

I have to agree a gang of elite Pzr IVs is pretty hard hitting

Yes of course.  But a Panhard in only 10 pts.  10 strike-n-fade, speed 4, high gear Panhards VS 5 speed 3 EPIVD’s would probably result in a Panhard victory.

I may have been slightly exagerating, but only slightly…

Hey here’s my new 1940 UK build:
Matilda II x6 - 78
Inspiring Lieutenant - 10
Gurka Rifleman x3 -12

100 Total  :evil:

@tekboi:

As far as readability - I bough a white paint marker at office depot for $4 and if you gently color the bottom of the base, it leaves raised balck letters against a (sort-of) white background.

Much more readable.

Dont use too much paint or you end upt with white letters on white background, which is just as bad as black letters on a black background….

Clever…

bump to the top

got it…

Thanks

I’m working on some solutions for non-windows users, though you might see it on an Android or in browser first.  In the short term, I could perhaps add some image export options to make the maps at least easier to view on non-windows.

Yeah I posted on the Avalon Hill site that the search was broken.  I too searched on Tank Destroyer and found nothing.  But if your “Search” with no criteria it shows everything which is good at least.

Mot, basically there are only two new tanks, a couple of changes to some tanks that are in other sets, renames, country changes, costing changes.  You know the changes better than I do.  See below, I’ve list the ones I know.

I would suggest only to add the two new tanks and work on set III.  Need some Panzerschreck HELP!!! with the new IS2 tank.  A platoon of Panzerfaust is not enough to kill it.  Defense 7/7 + superior armor.  Even if it’s disrupted the Panzerfaust needs to roll 8 out of 10 to damage.

New:
Sherman VS 17-Pounder
Valintine I

Country change:
T-26B (same as Chinese T-26)
M3 Light Tank (same as Stuart)

Name change:
M18 GMC (same as M18 Helcat)
Panzer IV Ausf F2 (same as Panzer IV Ausf. G)

Other several tanks & Vehicles rocosted

Just noticed that the Valintine I was added, recosted with SA (Robust)

Sorry for any confusion, but this sale is closed.  I found a buyer on the Avalon Hill sight in the fall.

Anyone else want to play a Set 1 game?

Just to let people know - I have created several sets of maps and new rules for use with the AAM 1.0 minis. I will post more on this and the Variant Rules forum when they are ready.

The first sets will be for North Africa and War in Europe Sets. Maps for Pacific Theatre and Alpine are also in the works. So you wont have to pitch all of your minis. There is a use for them, and even WTF or Cando minis can be mixed with them.

I have also created new rules and 400 new unit cards for Italy, Japan, Finland, France, England, and of course German and American.

I can even do you one better, here is an image of the new card:

And here is a movie of the booster getting opened and you get a good look at the new paint job for the Tiger…looks really good:

I don’t have the other at my fingertips, let me go hunt down the Panzer IV links…

Those are pretty decent pulls.  You got a Nashorn!  That piece is like rare rare!!  More rare than the King Tiger.

Ive only bought two cases……one of Contested Skies and one of D-Day.  The Contested Skies one was the best one I got.  I didn’t get any duplicates, thus only missing three pieces.  Its the set that im just about to complete.  I’m going back to basics soon and getting myself a case of Set I and II’s.  :-D

Here’s my list for Polish units http://boards.avalonhill.com/showpost.php?p=222941&postcount=8

My older 1939 Poland is listed here under the scenario subforum.

Thats what I thought, but I think it was worth asking.

I heard that as well.  It seemed that at tourney’s  people were stacking their armies with all hero’s so a general house rule of one hero. I do not think it’s mentioned in the rules at all.  Some tactics can be employed as far as 4/4’s go.  I too have no problem mixing units.

example:                4/4 Bar gunners  support 5/5 Ranger’s I sure people can come up with more but that just springs to mind.

You have to be carefule I was used like a tool when I sent KAR 98’s against Screaming Eagle’s (First game) It was a blood bath. The trick is to play to the utits strengths and use supporting units.  I’m a big fan of snipers and MG42’s
