…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!

[Motdc]

Are there actual new rules to go with these new stats?

[Motdc]

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!

[Motdc]

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:

[Motdc]

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

[Motdc]

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:

[Motdc]

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…

[Motdc]

Bofors…they gave it Relocate 1 (instead if 2)…they better have given the 88 the same

[Motdc]

dang…every otehr artillery uints is now a “Light Artillery” unit

[Motdc]

Ack, they gimped my BMW…down to CA 4

[Motdc]

I love Strike-n-fade, and the axis doesnt get many of them so I agree the Puma at 17 is very interesting…

[Motdc]

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.

[Motdc]

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

[Motdc]

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:

[Motdc]

Sandbagged MG team can now move (for 2 pts more)…interesting…

Greyhound is 2 pts cheaper, very cool…

[Half-Track]

Why do some cards have a medal of some sort at the bottom right corner?

[Motdc]

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

[Motdc]

Brumbar has sideskirts….as noted b4 the Tiger now effectively has Hulikn Mass (nowcalld Heavy Armnour)

[Motdc]

Quite an improvement to the German Light Mortar…
