Achtung Panzer – Supported Tanks

[Nigel Heather]

Hi,

Appreciate this isn’t an Achtung Panzer forum, but there doesn’t seem to be one and BA is the closest fit.

I’m a little interested in this, but I’d like to understand what data you need to play.  Do you have to have the Warlord Games data and playing cards to play – wondering whether you are tied into what tanks warlord sell and provide data cards for or whether the rule book provides the information needed to create your own cards for a bigger range of vehicles.

In particular I notice that the data cards available are all late war – does this mean that this game only supports late war.

And why no forum here or channel on the discord – does this suggest that the game has not proved popular?

Hi,  Re the discord – AP is a new game (less than 6 months since release at the start of April), and WL have released a number of games that start popular then die off so the mods of the discord are waiting to see the longevity of the game.  Again here on the Forum I think theres been less than half a dozen threads.

Now about the game:
Yes the game is CURRENTLY Late War centric, only tanks that were in use & WL sell models for are included.  I say currently because who knows what is in the pipeline.
The rule book has about 20 entries per the 4 core nations (Germany, US, British & USSR), it also has a blank data card (and tokens) that you can copy and print out yourself.

The card packs can be as much of a problem as a solution as they are double sided, and outside of a couple of common tank types, one have one of each.  I’ve tried to build a list and  found that two tanks I want (from what I have) were opposite sides of the same card.

EDIT – no rules for creating your own tanks – but you can look at whats there and tweak for other viriants of included tanks – eg theres the OT34/85 but not an OT34/76 but using the difference btween the OT & T34/85s you can create the OT34/76

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 would seriously lower the cost for Warlord and they could go nuts with creating the tank cards… They could sell PDF packs for countries and split them into Early, Mid & Late war variations. Are you listening Warlord?? We want more tank cards! Also, you could do cards for light armored vehicles, scout cars, half-tracks, etc…
