Yes we did have a tournament at Stockport, Element Games.

we didn’t get a massive turn out, but all enjoyed themselves, it was a relaxed friendly affair.

It would be nice if Warlord hosted a big one day event?

Yes super glue can make acrylic go cloudy, plus if you have metal infantry you have to cut off all the base, which can be laborious.

i use 2p pieces mostly, and 1p for artillery crew.

this works well for plastic figures as it adds weight?

i am starting to switch to MDF though, plus you can get MDF movement trays which fit nicely.

I’ve just started looking at Korea,

I too fancied a KPA force to start with, then use my WWII US troops as proxy for a later Korean force to take them on.

i was looking at the starter deal, and also noticed NO selectors with LMG squads having 2 weapons??

also the starter deal gives you a medium and heavy machine gun teams, again not strictly allowed in the same force?

 

Shame because I’ve now stalled and started to reconsider my purchase?

[Tim Haslam]

Ha!

heres me thinking that hole in the gun mantle was damage from a small calibre anti tank weapon!

well you learn something new every day! Thanks

[Tim Haslam]

I think it’s probably a mix up on terminology here,

since the Stug doesn’t have a turret, then in theory the whole vehicle is a ‘hull’.

The MMG sits on the top of the hull next to the commanders cupola.

[Tim Haslam]

Lol!

Ive done that with my Romanian force too! 2 X 38t tanks.

The trick is to not engage the better Soviet vehicles, but use your tanks in an anti infantry role.

Use panzershreck against the enemy armour.

Thanks

I meant to mention the Csaba armoured car is a really cool looking model too!

 

[Tim Haslam]

Well it’s not really a deal breaker, I’ll be using the Panzer III’s as 5 shot mmg’s as they are both painted in identical Hungarian colours, I don’t want to confuse my opponents with that.

Besides, the rule I will be using on both tanks is the armoured command from the armoured car, as this effectively upgrades my regular panzers to veterans for moral checks. Very useful when dealing with pesky soviet swarms.

I chose the ausf N model as this little howitzer may be very useful in built up areas?

[Tim Haslam]

It’s a shame,

WoE is a great system and also captures all the old nostalgia of fantasy in the 1980’s

I’m my own worse enemy as I still refuse to do Facebook.

Id love to attend a big event, I’ve got Knights, Barbarians and Goblin forces ready to go….

[Tim Haslam]

I’ve just finished recently putting a Hungarian force together,

live taken the Csaba 40M armoured car, as this has the armoured command ability,

plus a Hungarian panzer III AND a German axis support Panzer III.

They are both painted in Hungarian colours, just to look different.

im pretty sure German supplied armour still benefits from the German special abilities, in this case the higher rate of fire for the vehicle machine guns.

ive used the basic War in East 41/42 platoon selector from the Axis book.

 

The army looks pretty cool, the Hungarian figures are superb from Warlord.

everything is fielded as Regular, and I’m pretty sure it’s going to turn up at the Warlord Stalingrad event, whenever we’re all allowed out to play again.

 

[Tim Haslam]

Hummm, I can see how that helps.

However, for some players it would only shift the argument to “where do you place the template”!

The front of some armour isn’t clearly defined in most cases.

I prefer to play where we just agree if it looks like a side impact, and if not roll a dice.
saying that, I do have a laser and a template in my army transport box, lol!

Just reading this thread makes me aware of how sometimes you can get a bit too wrapped up in the rules.

Go in peace brothers (and sisters oh! And gender neautrals)

[Tim Haslam]

Yeah, mine sits on my shelf, one day!

Brumbar is a good compromise.

Thing is, late war armies always have a puma in the list, but again these are so cool.

 

[Tim Haslam]

HA! Just what I did with my Germans in BA.

sturm tiger is a great model, and funnily enough I too used 2 of them in FoW!

take it to tournaments by all means, just don’t expect to win!

under V2 rules this thing can actually destroy buildings in a single shot, and completely remove any units in it!

you will find your opponents directing a lot of fire onto it!

my army used a lot of Last Levy types, Hitler Youth etc. With just one Veteran squad for assaults.

i would run veteran troops in units of 8.

i wouldn’t bother with the panzerschreck just put panzer Fausts in a few units.
to be fair a far better “game” piece is the Brumbar, because it’s cheaper and nearly as good.

but then it’s not as cool as the stupid massive gun on the tiger is it lol

 

good luck!

[Tim Haslam]

Nice, and good display cabinet.

[Tim Haslam]

It’s lovely, but maybe I’d use it as an objective!
