In our group we talked about this and it feels little bit harsh to classify this as heavy AA gun. It weights only little over 1000 kg and has wheeled trailer on it. I could imagine that it would be easily towed even with 4WD jeep. In contrast german flak 88 weights almost 7,5 tons (although this is super heavy AA gun).

As someone who has been playing against the US forces for years, I will list all their weaknesses here:

— none.

Your choice is fine.

Also, kind of related to the Chaffee question, I want a Jeep to go in my armored car slot. Would putting a MMG or a HMGon it be best? I’m kinda torn between the two, MMG is cheaper and has more shots. HMG has pen, so it can threaten veterans, soft skins, armored cars, or even light tanks from the side. But it costs 10 more points than a MMG. Thoughts?

I think he meant “barring niche”, as in “books will bring all units (barring niche ones) from the campaign books together”

Hey L.T. Russel!

Holy cow, they had a dedicated reverse driver? I gotta research that. Efficiency at its peak…

Wow, that sounds terrifying. So if I ever play Konflikt 47, I need autocannons or a M16 quad HMG, *Takes notes*. I gotta try K47 one day…. But maybe I should start Bolt Acion first lol. Can’t put the cart before the horse.

Ah, ok.…[Read more]

Thanks L.T. Russel, I think once I have my troops painted up on the table storming the beaches I’ll realize that I made a good choice. I’ve designed my army to be super flexible, so if I try something and it doesn’t work, I can just swap it out. Yeah I’ve seen those people with massive armies before, here I am budgeting to afford paints…. That…[Read more]

Nah, don’t think that Aidan.  Every army has its strengths and weaknesses.  Work with your Americans.  Try different stuff.  Get ahold of the Armies of the United States book and look for things that catch your eye.  I just picked up a 3D print of a US M15 halftrack.  It’s a self-propelled AA platform, with a heavy autocannon linked with two HMGs.…[Read more]

Hahaha! Maybe I picked the wrong faction to start with…

Thanks for the word Nat!  I’m here waiting for V3.  “barr neich”?

Yeah, a Veteran German HQ unit with either SMGs or STGs can be a real help when things get dicey….

Howdy Aidan!

The big German armored cars; Sdkfz 231 6-rads and 8-rads, Sdkfz 234/1/2 and 3 all have a special ability called “Dual Directional Steering”.  They have a driver facing both forwards AND backwards in the vehicle, with dual controls.  So if they have to recce out of trouble, they get a full movement in reverse….

Ursus infantry are a…[Read more]

Thanks L.T. Russel!

Yeah from what I’ve seen, the “2 or 3 man officer team” debate is about as old as time. And it looks like there isn’t a correct answer, it depends. I personally am running my LT as a 2 man team, because his purpose is to sit back and provide morale boosts and extra pins. So adding an extra man isn’t worth it as much, the…[Read more]

Ah ok thanks a lot. Might just diy a wash for budget considerations.

WHAT?!?!?!? Man how did I not know this? I’ve been digging around for months now, sifting through Youtube videos, and lurking around forums, and there’s not been one mention of the Yubari. I stand corrected lol, maybe this is a sign that I should finally get the $55 dollar rulebook….. Although I think that money would be better spent, i’m trying…[Read more]

A wash is just a thinned out pigment (can be purpose bought or DIY) . Also known as an ink in some corners. These are brushed on generously so that the pigment settles into the crevices to form a natural shading.

Your best bet is to search on YouTube  “Painting 28mm xyz” as there will be 999 people talking about painting very precise troop types…[Read more]

Yubari is amazing and probably the best of the IJN’s ultralight cruisers (although the others are also very good and frequently underestimated).

7″ Agile move with 2+ armor and light guns makes her an utter terror as a DD leader / killer. Also, she can be followed by 2-3 Long Lance destroyers for a torpedo run on enemy capitals and suffer the…[Read more]

So…. No V3 is a reset to stop the 101 books per army syndrome.

You’ll get the rulebook which will include a get you by list for the major nations (minor ones getting a free PDF on release).  Then you’ll get an ‘armies of…..’ book released with Germany being first in line q1 next year.

These armies of… Books will bring all the units…[Read more]

Yubari had official stats… Found in the rulebook

She is just a big destroyer… And costed as such
