If you want a map, on trollandtoad they have random maps for $3.50 apiece, I’m no0t completely sure if you’re asking this because you don’t have a map or just want to play without one……
Calling all Axis builders the King vs Vet
-
In the last game I played, (June timeframe) I actually used both. The odds were slightly in my favor. :wink:
Anyway, as far as which one I prefer… I might have to say the Vet Tiger. It may have -1/-0 armor, and slightly weaker rolls, but Crack Shot goes a LOOONNG way.
-
The Veteran Tiger is better at killing things (Vehicles, Infantry, and Aircraft)
The King Tiger has +1 front defence, which actually makes a fair amount of difference. However it does costs 6 more points, though in a 200-350 point game that has much less of an impact.If I had to choose I’d go with the Veteran because I prefer the firepower over defence, but really I’d rather go with a Panther than either.

Thanks !!!
-
Yes, good call. The Panther is a perfectly viable alternative, as the Germans are a little short on heavy hitters that are also decently fast. :wink:
-
& set V wil allow 4 a cheap Panther at 35 points! Although it wont have SS determination like its 49 pts brother ;)
-
and has slightly worse AT.
-
Why must u rain on my paraide LOL
Yep forgot about that but still is a great deal!
-
The Panther D is still a very good tank at a very affordable price.
-
Yes:
I haven’t done my homework yet on them but I do know at 35 it makes a very nice addition to the armor (strong and affordable)I suspect that everything should remain the same on abilities except losing SS deter. I still think the SS Panther is worth it’s weight in gold. I like the SS PZ 4 as well.
AF

I liked the SS Panzer until planes came out; rear defence 3 is just too weak against them in standard games.
-
You know, I didn’t think about that. My opposite hasn’t fielded a plane yet (He is not a big fan of air power). So the situation hasn’t come up. This brings up a good point. When planes attack armor they get rear attack?! If so, I was a real rock head with my Stuka. Live and learn
-
Planes attack the same way as any other unit, with the sole exception that terrain doesn’t block LOS to and from them.
While I don’t hate them, I’m not a huge fan of airpower either. Things bog down too much when you have to constantly ‘watch the skies.’
