following up from @Nanashi’s points
Mess his plans up…..
Cheep forward deploying units to run behind his spearmen – the Banzai rule says towards the closest visable unit (yes that includes the tank that they cant hurt & inexperienced artillery spotters :p) & spearmen have a 360 arc of sight. So if he wants them to move forward he needs to…[Read more] -

Tanks. Spearmen can’t do anything to armor (though spearmen are typically paired with lunge mines and/or artillery who can) and a “Dakka Stuart” (usable by US and anyone with lend lease) as well as early Panzer 3 (usable by Germany and a few of the more minor axis) can make a lot of shots against big groups of infantry.
Artillery is another…[Read more]

A local player runs a Japanese force of 5 Bamboo Spearmen squads( 15 figures each) It is very difficult to kill enough men in 6 turns! Any suggestions as to how to defeat this horde of manpower (short of nukes!)(: In all seriousness, now that the fanatics no longer take morale checks when fired at by flamethrowers, what is one to do?

“A Soviet force for the opening of Barbarossa must comprise one or more reinforced platoons picked from the following Army List. Each reinforced platoon is made up as follows:”
All platoons are ‘reinforced platoons’. The c…[Read more]

For the Paris Uprising Reinforced Platoon, even thought it’s listed under the theater section, is it allowed for tournaments since it is listed as a “Reinforced “ Platoon and says is for use with Partisan armies found in the Armies of France and Allies book?
Also under this platoon list , it says if you use a Captured/Recaptured French vehic…[Read more]

OK, I went to CoE and read the paragraph that Nat referenced. I’m still confused:
1. How many smaller units can be formed (CoE states two, three, or four – pretty nebulous)
2. What are the stats for the smaller units, specifically Hand-to-Hand value and Stamina?
