With these new rules, you cannot start the game with your 88 or Bofors loaded on a transport, move to a drop location on turn 1, and dismount it.
How is that not broken!?
Agreed, this needs to be fixed.

find the ones for sets 1-5 on their respective pages on the link below:

…a few pieces of info that stood out to me:
Guards T-34/85 - 34 points
Sherman VC Firefly - 24 points
Centurion A41 - 44 points
Nashorn - 40 points
Panzer II (F) Flamingo - 14 points
SS-Panzer IV Ausf. F2 - 27 points
Sd Kfz 234/2 Puma - 17 points
Jagdtiger - 54 points
Veteran Tiger - 68 points
Semovente 90/53 - 26 points
Of all the adjustments from all the sets, the 17 point Puma (IMO) is easily the best bargain. They’ve also removed Superior Armor 2 from the Tigers (among other things) and replaced it with Heavy Armor, which nullifies the first damaged counter.
Thanks for the head-up!
Are there actual new rules to go with these new stats?
Wow, they hit every unit!
The MAS no longer have Urban Combat, the Commisar’s Bravery Enforcement is completely different and no lonmger requiers a sacrafice…it goes on and on!
Chafee at 19…I posted a long thread on that about 8 months ago on the WotC forum saying that exact price for the Chafee was about right. Very cool :mrgreen:
Rhino is still 26pts…it should have been a bit more.
Panzergrendier (the non-SS version) finally got the right treatment.
Up to AI of a Mauser (8/6)
Still has Mechanzed Tactcs and CA 8
4 pts
Vrey nice job
Ha! They changed Headshot tp exactly what I had suggested as well, which is Fice-up disrupt only (no “sticky face-up” anyome). Someone needs to send me a paycheck :roll:
They gave the Lebel grenadier “Sharpnel”…that unit needed that to make him playable…they decreased his stats, but still at 3 pts well worth it in 1939
They gve teh infamous CharBis a different negative SA, Prone to Breakdown) that will ceratinly slow them down in all the France games we seem to play here…
Bofors…they gave it Relocate 1 (instead if 2)…they better have given the 88 the same
dang…every otehr artillery uints is now a “Light Artillery” unit
Ack, they gimped my BMW…down to CA 4
I love Strike-n-fade, and the axis doesnt get many of them so I agree the Puma at 17 is very interesting…
They really gimped Covering Fire (BAR and BREN)…I would have done a Units attacked by this unit get a -1 to their attack rolls for the turn) but they decided to go with the unit just cannot make DF attacks.
They upgraded the Buffalo Solddiers from Tough to Steely Resolve 2
They gomped the US 81mm mortar exactly as expected…the community on the WotC board hit it on the head months ago
Nope, the 88 is still immobile…
WHat the hell…the sd kfz 250 lost its Gun Transport ability and is now a Fighting Platform…same cost and abilities as the 251, but with suckier attack values… :roll:
Sandbagged MG team can now move (for 2 pts more)…interesting…
Greyhound is 2 pts cheaper, very cool…
Why do some cards have a medal of some sort at the bottom right corner?
Probablky means they were changed (updated)
I figuired out the guntransport thing…the 251 and the M5 now have got Gun Transport in addition to Fighting Platform. Makes the 250 even more irrelevent
Brumbar has sideskirts….as noted b4 the Tiger now effectively has Hulikn Mass (nowcalld Heavy Armnour)
Quite an improvement to the German Light Mortar…
