Reply To: 3rd vs 2nd

[Mark]

I love 3rd, as a friend of mine put it, “it’s more Killy”

we have found that the drop in to hit from 3 to 4 isn’t a problem, and you definitely get less 7+ to hit rolls.

the new mission system is an improvement over the old system.

yes my soviets suffer due to losing their free unit, but the rest of my armies are living it!

US, rather than the not suffering -1 to hit on the move, now get the old rapid fire rule of the Brits. Where as the British version is only on a fire order now witch is probably good as it’s going to make me try out the others!

having saves from cover is no biggy and games seem to play faster.

overall I move the new rules, been playing since 1st edition, and can happily say this is the best version by a long way.

hope this helps
