Try this 150 pt Axis build.

@Audacity:

WHY?

Ditto that question…inquiring minds want to know  :-D

@Motdc:

@Mechanized:

Maybe Motdc’s map program will help a lot in this kind of game.  :wink:

We just need one or two test games going and then I can continue work on it!

Well damn……no one wants to play against me.  I suppose I can play a test game by myself.  :wink:

Yes the Tiger will be unleashed.  Your right though too much risk and I feel it would demoralize my opponent too much.  I have a pak 40 and sfz 250 I’ll use.

I’ve been reading a lot on Mortars any thoughts?  I have a disc. Spotter and a 81 mm what about mg42’s I have a couple of those too.  It just seems a steep price to pay (20pts) for a mortar and support.

Again I was skunked on sspg at my local shop.  Are SS stormtroopers as good?

The FAQ has been updated for Contested Skies. Apparently the addition of airplanes has thrown a wrench in some of the existing rules and abilities.

We’ll, my record just went to 4 for 4 playing a tournament scenario using the Urban Combat Objective maps. This means I also cut the army down 1 figure for the 15 miniature limit. They were Nazis… they where nasty and the army was 100 points consisting of:

1 Panzer IV - 30 Points
2 Panzer II - 18 Points
9 SS Panzergrenadiers - 45 Points
1 SS Haupsturmfuhrer - 7 Points

This game was won in 7 rounds also.

@Malachite:

I doesn’t feel like the scenario or even the A&A mini game itself was play tested very much.  I hope for set 3 they make a new starter pack with revised rules.

You’re probably right about the scenario not being play tested much. As for the game, I’m sure it was play tested a lot but with the wrong focus in mind. Play testing probably involved:

Play testers that are more used to play testing board games like Axis & Allies.

Play testing with the minimum age limit in mind. Keep it simple and “fun” for the kids.

I have heard that they didn’t expect the target market for this game to be older both in age and maturity (Some teenagers are just more mature and adult than others).

But it takes a while to fix things like this in a fast releasing collectible miniatures game.

I have been taking a MK IV basically as bait, 3 machine guns, panzerfaust, some troops, light mortars and two officers. Clearing disruptions every turn is huge. Machine guns work on the troops along with the mortars and the MK IV hopefully holds its own if not the panzerfaust go to work.

Yea it’s an ancient old thread with 3 layers of dust on it, soo what/  :-P
