Just for Fun

They come pre-painted and ready to rock but feel free to paint away. All expansion pieces come painted as well. Easy game to learn but made to play as a stand alone game, not recomended for the board games. Although you can use the infantry pieces.

I thought of third one that is basically just a combination of those:

Spread out the support pieces, and have each one earn different points on top of their ability.

HQ = Aircraft points
Ammo Dump = Soldier points
Fuel Depot = Vehicle points

It adds more strategy as to what you want to hold. I’d say 2 ammo dumps, 1 HQ, and 1 fuel depot would probably make it the most fun.

@cyan:

all artillery/tank battle? has anyone everdone this?

That would probably not be as fun as it may sound.  A fun game would be paras vs paras.

ok thx 4 all the help

ok thnx 4 the help  :-)

wow that map links usefull  :wink:

Well. we’re now upto

2 Type 95 ‘tinks’ 18 points
2 Sargeants 18 points
4 Arisaka Riflemen 12 points in total
2 Type 92 MG teams 14 points
3 50mm mortar teams 27 points
and
3 47mm AT guns 21 points in total

110 points, enough for a standard scenario with a few variations. Hav’nt used it yet.

(The Type 95 tank got miscalled a ‘tink’ on one occaision and it stuck - seems kind of appropriate, the noise its 37mm shells make bouncing off a Sherman)

Bl**dy hell! Take cover….

With Set II coming out you’ll be able to field and effective Soviet team and Japanese team. There are a couple of new Japanese tanks that are pretty good.

You might even be able to put together a Chinese team but you might have to amek a house rule that allows more than 15 units per team or play 80 pts. or something. Those 2pt soldiers don’t really fill out the points very well.
