Help

yeah they are all good games and fun to collect the only thing I find is its hard to play all of them or find people to play against for all of them, my area is WAS territory so thats the game people have and/or want to play out of the axis and allies line.

Well Ill give u some tips later but Here. Always have plenty of infantry because infantry can kill a tank and there cheaper. Tanks are good but always keep inf away other then your own. Also in close quarters low range attacks is all you need but in a mix get a variety. Finally keep an eye out for opertonities.
Have fun hope tosee uy on the play by forums.

I just sent you my home email address. Thanks for your time!

The best officer is the Brit with his “Tally Ho” ability to move the troops along at a speed of two hexes.  If you set up right you can litterally move 14 troops at double speed.

Maybe start by using the “Quick Start” guide.

It teaches you how the dice work etc.

Take a look at that and come back with more questions.

Wow! Tiger heaven and great strat resulted in my first loss–quite badly at that.

What has been allies experience in the past in dealing with this map? Because we had only 20 units at 300 points I had to field several (5) armor and normally would have tried to lay back at the objective, but had not place to hide more than 2, maybe three units and theyd be divided heavily. With 3 crocs I had to charge and it was not pretty.

In expectation of an open map with heavy armor a must, then I’d guess going M26/M36’s for flanking would be wise. Any thoughts?

You might also recall that there is a 15 unit limit, which helps somewhat against infantry.

SS-Panzergrenadiers, MG 42s, sIG/Brummbars are all useful.

More rules help questions from a differnet newbie:

@djensen:

Each attack at the opposing unit must beat the defense.

Does this mean that each attack is set up completely seperately?  Is there no way to combine fire against one opponent?

Rules clarification time for me in this made up scenario:

Lets say my opponent has an M26 Pershing tank with armor 7/6 and Superior Armor 2.

I have a Messerschmitt Me 110 w/ an attack on vehicles of 5 at short range and 4 at medium range;
three Mauser Kar 98ks with attacks of 2 at short range and one SS Stormstrooper with an attack of 8 since he is at 0 range;
and one Pak 38 artillery piece with attacks of 11/9/7 respectively.

How can I attack the tank?

Is the plane completely useless?  The best he could do in his phase is 5 sucssess, but that won’t do anything on it’s own.  Are the three Kar 98ks inefective as well, since they could individually only have 2 sucssess?  Even the Stormtrooper at his best could only disrupt the tank with 7 or 8 sucssess.  And the Pak 38 would have to have a tremendous shot even at close range just to touch the Pershing.

Is this correct?
