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]

“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]

Generally no unless you’re using the optional rules in Appendix II, p215.  The main thing to consider when proposing this is interaction of national rules, particularly rules which affect the whole game not just individual units.

Even that is intended for multi player games, not for a single force.  There are a couple of specific s…[Read more]

I think its more that they are Roman Heavy cavalry, but in rules they are only classified as medium so as not to put them level with true heavy cavalry such as Cataphracts or plate armoured knights.

Oh yeah there is something in Campaign: The Western Desert in the section DESERT COMBAT SPECIAL RULES.

The following rules apply to a hull down vehicle:

• There is a -2 modifier to all shots against the vehicle from the front arc, including indirect fire. • If a vehicle has a turret, then only turret-mounted weapons may fire.
• A turre…[Read more]

Sounds like a variation of the Hull Down rules from Western Desert, p161-162.

If the vehicle has a turret, only turret mounted weapons can fire.  If turretless, you may choose one weapon to fire.

I haven’t bought into Achtung Panzer so can’t comment if it’s from there.  Another possibility would be a rule we haven’t seen yet from V3 – where d…[Read more]

You are correct, it’s in one of the North Africa books for the desert warfare.

I think this might be the wrong forum. Sounds like Achtung Panzer or something?

Newbie looking for a group in the Fareham/Gosport area (Hampshire)

Given no exceptional damage, I wonder how they  are going to allow a chance of taking a leader out for non-snipers. It is going to be comical if a HE burst always just leaves the leader and special weapons men standing there (and, yes, I know in 3E that of the others automatically finds that LMG and prises from the burned body of his dead…[Read more]

“not all snipers have the TEAM rule” – not a change.  Polish marksman and Japanese lone sniper (unless he takes LMG option) come to mind as current examples of one man sniper units that don’t suffer the Team rule.

Yes, more streamlining… lol
