Pickpockets omissions

[Cat Shot One]

Unfortunately the “Defensive Line” target card is missing. How does it look like?

The battle area is not quadratic as usual (3′ x 3′ I suppose). What are the dimensions?

[Cat Shot One]

Which variant are the Ju-87s?

[Tom Mecredy]

They’re JU-87Ds – as per the squadron box sold on the Warlord Games website.

Target card is on the way.

So what’s the board size? 4×3?

(Since there is a Ju-87C card in the Luftwaffe expansion pack – also sold on the Warlord Games website – the version wasn’t clear from the start.)

[Koin-Koin]

Target card has been included in the campaign pack.

There’s a cut paragraph in the introduction text of the pack btw.

[Koin-Koin]

Also, straffing ordnance has been removed from the stukas, thus the laden rule removed from the scenario.

Koin-Koin, thanks for pointing this out.

Indeed some corrections discussed in this part of the forum made it in (target card & Stuka version in Pickpockets),
others not (Strafing Ordnance for the P-51Ds in Merdert Angels, complete Pilot Skills list for Grand Old Lady),
some things are still unclear (Pickpockets map size, location of Escape Zone in Merdert Angels, unplayable “Head-On Attack” card in Grand Old Lady)
and the Stuka “castration” you found is a new issue – with Firepower 0 they are worthless against the Defensive Line in Pickpockets…

If I find the time, I have to do the math for the probability of scoring hits in Merderet Angels *with* Strafing Ordnance. My gut feeling – and a design remark for Air Strike – is that target traits which eliminate attacker successes are very powerful. And two “stacked” can break the game.
