Using the 88 gun

At the most I get 2-3, so my tactics may differ. If you have more, it best to drop them in a spread to prevent enemy movement, but still keep them close to eachother.

Most often I either drop em early to get the most use out of them.
They work well either by entering behind enemy lines and taking commanders/artillery out, or landing on objective hexes or bridge to prevent early capture.
Sometimes I keep them back to face a threat the enemy has (Armored cars or apposing Paras/Heros. But for the most part they pop out pretty early! :D

Thank you both!

Thanks

Why?  His King Tiger should have been able to take out your remaining tanks by turn 7, dont you think?

Okay now I know how the whole airplanes thing works. Thx for the article jensen!  :lol:

Now to get myself a Sturmovich.  :wink:

Sounds like your opponent was using a Tier 3 army at best; hardly tournement calibre.

Be that as it may, your army isn’t bad.  Whenever you make a UK army the Churchill Crocodile is generally a primary consideration.  The Comet has it’s uses, but I just don’t like the 3 rear defence on such an expensive unit.  It’s still fairly easily disrupted, and just about everything can get past a 2 defence.

Your army makes effective use of the Lieutenant with both Gurkhas and allowing the 17 pounder to move during the movement phase.  The Stuarts provide adequate support for the slow moving Crocodile.

So back to the German/Chinese issue.

I read the Set II Checklist again and it specifically points out that giving a Chinese army the sdkfz 222 is for scenario play. I think this is just a general rule of thumb for scenarios: if country X had unit Y but unit Y belongs to country Z, just use it in your scenario as country X anyway.

That’s the beauty of this game.

I’m going to start a new thread about Sino-German relations.

I like the Japs and think that they are capable of winning “ISLAND” matches. Lets remember that there were no armor clased in Islands.
