Katyusha Rocket Values

[General 6 Stars]

Was looking for some imput on values ( 12 die ) for the Rocket Truck.
C 6 M 2 A 5 D 2

Can tow artillery and boost artillery +1 on attack.

Can build after first turn and up to 2 a turn.

Might be to strong with an A 5 paired with artillery = 9 attack total.

Does your artillery is at C4 M1 A4 D4 ?
So, according to the +1 bonus, you get A5+ A4+1 on attack= 10 Attack points?

Art is C4 M1 A3 D4
Mech is C5 M2 A2 D4  +1 A with a Art or Tank.
Tank is C6 M2 A6 D6 +1 A with a Tac.
KV-2 Heavy Tank is C6 M2 A8 D7  + 1 A with a Tac. Build only 2 per turn starting on turn 3.

KV-2 Heavy Tank is C6 M2 A8 D7   + 1 A with a Tac. Build only 2 per turn starting on turn 3.

Tank and KV-2 are at the same cost, 6 IPCs?
Basically waiting turn 3 to always built always at least 2 KV-2 each turn?

KV-2 was the early russian heavy tank (40-41), isn’t?

JS-1 and JS-2 should be a better name, since they were built later in WWII, isn’t?

[General 6 Stars]

Yep.

If you still want a KV-2, you can gives it A7 D6 at the beginning, only 2 per turn.
Then, on turn 3, allows building of JS-2 Heavy tank, with above values.

Could but looking to add the new piece without changing anything else.

Tigerman you got a imput on this?  It is going into your game.

I’m curious about your artillery values. I would think that Artillery would be stronger on attack and weaker on defense.

It is an interesting question: where is artillery at his best?
On offense or on defense?

[General 6 Stars]

Well these pieces are used in HBG G39 game. The inf, art, and mech all defend at 4. That is a good question about attack is lower than defend.  
Could make art  attack at 3 and defend at 3. The lower defense might hurt Russia in the long run and if you make the art attack at 4 and defend at 3, might make Germany stronger.
But Russia does start with around 8 - 10 art and Germany starts with 2 art.
It would help Russia push into Finland.
Just have art go to A4 D3 and dont have the Katyusha rockets boost art but boost inf +1 on attack for first round of combat or all rounds of combat.
Will be trying out soon.

In my rules Katyusha is 2 move, 2 attack, 3 in first cycle of combat (for the sock)… 2 defence and 4 IPC
