Rule question: Movement and positioning of vehicles

Im sure I’ll run into some things but that is it for now.  Thanks for your help.

I’m really enjoying playing the miniatures game.

Agreed.  The correctly-costed one doesnt have the ribbon.

I’m thinking they are opening pandoras box.

Yes, you used to be able to bump an isolated infantry every now and then, but it was easy to fugure out.

If you wait until the end of the turn it will a nightmare to manage.

As you said, you move 2 Inf into a hax that already conatins two inf.  The two original Inf now try charge forward in an MG and get disrupted so they cannot move.  But its the end of the turn and you’ve moved a dozen units.  Now what, you have to “unmove” the first two Inf that you moved to fix the overstack, hoping you remember which hexes they came from?

It gets insanely worse with vehicles.

No, that will break the game.  They’ve done some odd things in the past, but this will break the game.

I have to beileve that the rule will be different than we are guessing.  Something like, any unit that is overstacked cannot Attack.  So you can overstack all you want, but if you dont resolve it by the end of the turn then that unit is pretty much a hood ornament.  Or something equally different.

Thanks for the heads up, we’ll all have to keep our eyes peeled.

how about a stick at the top of this forum that allows us to start cataloging summaries of all the rule disputes and resolutions we get, for ease of perusal.

for example

dismounting or loading in the same hex does not trigger defensive fire Gamer cheats, don’t turn your back on him Commanders in vehicles still get their abilities but can’t be targetted. (blech)

SNLF Paratroopers are just fine. Definant Paratroopers are reasonable. It’s just the Screaming Eagle Paratroopers that are overpowered.

And yes, the fact that your army can roll/march through a hex and the next turn… Oh look you missed the paratroopers hiding there  :roll:

My house rules have been ‘Deploy them with vanguard on turn 1, or they can come in on any mapside’

Makes them still good, but not nearly as bad.

The Partisans would get Defensive fire rolls if the tank moved to an adjacent hex… There’s no reason why the tank couldn’t move away though as long as it was on it’s own movement/assault phase- it can’t move away when it isn’t it’s turn (I’m not sure what you’re asking here).

The trick to aircraft is you actually have to practice patience.

Don’t place them if you can’t get a good attack in with them.  Take out your opponents AA units with fast attacking forces; units like motorcycles, cavalry, and even some armoured cars were well. Once you’ve elminated them you should have air superiority.  The trick is to get them out as fast as you can, because until then you’re opponent has a point advantage on you.

face up disrupted counters are removed BEFORE you flip the face down counters, so no, you can’t add a face up disrupted counter to any new face down counter.

In fact, a disrupted counter never adds up with another counter.  So, if a vehicle has a face up damage counter, and in another turn it gets 1 hit, than you put a face down disrupted counter that will get flip during the casualty phase, and the vehicle will have both a face up disrupted counter AND a face up damaged counter, but it won’t be destroyed.
