How do you guys use paratroopers?

I sold all mine to cool stuff for credit.  They pay a pretty good price for them.

I had considered using each major power’s commander units to give a buff to all units in the same territory as them.  I never thought up any good ones though, but it still seemed like a good idea.

Yes, like most of the other hype (yeah I’m talking to you, Rhino) it’s turned out to be not all that bad. It’s a threat for sure, but counterable.

**Hello my defenders of the Fatherland.  I’m looking for your thoughts again.  I like assult groups, I’m wondering what you have used in the past as a combined force or (assult group)  ie: 4 sspg 1 sshaup 1 pz faust 1 exp snipe.  It can be armor or infantry.

list out Parameters:

Year
Unit limit
Why was it successful? (what did you use it against?)**

The T-35s and BA-10Ms can also be used in an earlier Finnish army as they captured several during the Winter War.

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.

Over in the Rules Discussion of the Avalon Hill message boards, there’s that project called the “Historical House Rules [HHR]”, and it’s an attept to make the rule-cards more realistic and balanced for quite a few units (others were left alone). Has anyone tried using these? We gave them a spin the other night and they seem alot more realistic and had their actual historical capaicity on the battlefield. My only gripe is that the cards are in the A&AM colors, which means they’ll kill your printer if you want to print 'em up.

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