Not a typo, just a silly cut and paste mistake from page 76, SD.KFZ 251 STUKA ZU FUSS. They have not added it to the errata yet. Yes, it will confuse some players.

Overall, there are a few good things about the third edition, but the rules team 1) should had been less haphazard with their “Cut and Paste” from older documents, 2) should had care…[Read more]

Before the release of Third Edition, there was talk about having this +1 to stand alone AT-guns and not include those mounted on vehicles. I was one of those in favor of this as this made more sense, but there were good arguments for weapon platforms such as the Marder III, Nashorn and such. To keep things simple, “…including those mounted on…[Read more]

Not sure, maybe they had plans to release a campaign book soon like Market Garden to fill that missing company?.

No.

That only applies to anti-tank guns, not all anti tank weapons.  Anti tank guns are four lines of the weapons chart, the rule even says “All anti-tank guns (from light to super-heavy, including those mounted on vehicles)”.

I just went into Easy-Army and added one to my existing third edition AoIJ list and it shows the transport capacity.  Might be worth checking that you’re using an AoIJ3 list rather than an MRB list (‘v3 Armies of Imperial Japan-…’ rather than ‘Version 3 – Japanese Army-…’).

See p151, Vehicles, Vehicle Special Rules, Turret Rear-Mounted Machine Gun.  The rear mounted mg can only fire into the opposite arc that the main/co-ax fires into.  This is the general rule, there are a few vehicles that combine turret rear mounted mgs and one man turret rules, in those cases it’s either the front weapon or the rear weapon (eg: J…[Read more]

Another idea is to use second edition building rules, or a combination of third and second edition. They were not all that careful when they went with third edition, and I think that why the building rules got the way they were.

Our group also thinks the building rules are broken at the moment.  In the current version they are a bit of a death trap.  They become even dumber when being targeted by something like a Nebelwerfer where every unit within 6″ of building comes under potential fire instead of within 6″ of the target (so, a single model (a spotter) in a 12″ s…[Read more]

The reason is, that the rules are BS! The original V2 building ruels were really good and then WLG started the chaos until the point that they deleted the extra cover rules for buildings.

It’s sad that they have no ideas for good rules.

Good and comprehensible rules are weakly represented in the game. 😀

I have played in a tournament where we had 2 order dice of another color added to the dice bag and when both dice were drawn the round ends no matter how many activations are left.

I agree, because “some setups or custom scenarios might not react well to any sort of random ending.” However, this is why I think the other idea works better – using…[Read more]

Hi folks,

I’m Hans. I live in Germany and have dabbled in a lot of games. I’m a little tired of dabbling and am looking to get stuck in to K47. I’ve been enjoying painting the dudes in the Axis starter!
