Thank you. You did some great work with that scenario! I checked the mine-rules in the szenario.

In case some people read this without knowing the szenario here is the mine-related rules:

“After deployment, the Axis player may deploy up to six mine tokens (these should be no more than 2″ in diameter). These may not be deployed within 3” of…[Read more]

So… are there rules for minefields – no

However the only down side would be that a ship is only the bridge – each 1″ of table is 1000 yards of real world, so it would be easy for ships to sail round.  For scenarios they yeah its diffidently something that can be expanded.  (Currently a couple of us are concentrating on trying to tighten up t…[Read more]

3 Boxes of Iron Brigade on pre-order.  Thank you Warlord Games.  Looks like they are resin, too. (which I prefer).

Just want to admit that rolling for cover gives a better “feeling” for the defender. You can “defend” and not just get shoot at. Other setting for the mind 😉

Nothing. Disappointed as i would like to include more details for my Normans.

Our group fights with a base company formation (usually infantry and using historical TO&E).  We set the scenario rules so that the base company eats many of your points and only allows one or two supporting platoons (only one of which could be tanks).  We never fielded the lone tank.

As part of our group’s effort to avoid the 500′ captain, we do not allow firing indirect missions at hidden targets except planned (before deployment) indirect fire at positions that are written down beforehand, with the grid and turn of the mission.  These are revealed at the appropriate time and fired.  The position may, or may not be o…[Read more]

The reality was that anti-tank grenades, panzerfausts, and bazookas were used against machinegun and anti-tank gun emplacements at least as much as against tanks.  The +1 to hit for the panzerfaust & bazooka, with the 1″ HE rule seems to work pretty well for our battles.  Anti-tank grenade launchers were less accurate, so we fire them normally a…[Read more]

FAQ, p28

“If units with special deployment rules are part of the first wave then
their special deployment rules take precedence. However, in certain
scenarios with first wave it also says no units are allowed on the
board during the start of the game. Do forward deployment units still
deploy in that situation? The scenario in question is Key…[Read more]

I was wondering if there are plans to issue more cards for the game. I would even be willing to buy PDF cards and print them myself. That wovuld seriously lower the cost for Warlord and they could go nuts with the tank cards… They could sell PDF packs for countries and split them into Early, Mid & Late war variations. Are you listening Warlord??…[Read more]

I don’t think veterans are +1 to hit. Not heard that mentioned anywhere.

As for the +1 to hit for veteran troops, we experimented with that in our group last year and found that a veteran company with that rule plus Tough Fighter was just too powerful when matched against a regular company even when the regulars were given twice the points for support teams and tanks.  What we settled on was earmarking two soldiers…[Read more]
