Build limits

Why?  His King Tiger should have been able to take out your remaining tanks by turn 7, dont you think?

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.

One more thing about the ‘Bounce Effect’ with the Cavalry and transport tanks:

The unit being bounced still triggers defencive-fire from the appropriate units so be careful how you use it around flamethrowers, etc.

Revision

Looks like it’s western front so the Russkies are out and the limey’s are in.  Any suggestions for that?  Not too familiar with all the Brits.  All I know is I don’t have to deal with the T34.  Year is still 1941 150 pts and 20 units.

Let me know thanks.

PS picked up 3 reserves and got som nice pulls.

This build is for reasonably open tank fighting terrain:

88mm Flak 36  19pts
SS Hauptsturmführer   7pts
Kar98   3pts
29pts

Sd Kfz 250     8pts
Veteran Tiger 65pts
2xElitePanzer IV Ausf. D 36pts
SS-Panzer IV Ausf. F2 32
2xsIG 33 30pts
          171pts

Total           200pts
10units

After I drop the 88 the 250 can pick up the Captain and move with the mixed mobile force to break the Ruskies like so much straw!

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?

AAR for the 1939 100pt force
After all the replies I got I decided to switch and go with a mixed anglo-french force :-(

1 Spitfire
1 Char B
1 Souma
1 Bofor
1 royal engineer
1 observer
1 bren gunner
1 french officer
2 Mas rifle men
1 Liebel Grenadier
1 tank obstical

it was a small turnout (something about a soccer game)
4 armies showed up
2 German (built around the Pzgf IV elites)
My sons French army (1 Char B, 1 Souma, 2 Renaults, 2 Bofor’s and misc. French inf.)
And mine
After the dust settled my son came in 1’st (winning all 3 games), the Germans came in 2’nd and 3’rd and my force came in last (being defeated by all 3 armies)

Next time its 1940 and 100 pts

For 8 more points, instead of a Tiger I, you can use a King Tiger.  It doesnt dwarf the Tiger I, but it looks scary on the battlefield and the stats are scary too, so id use it for psychological warfare.  You know……make them crap their pants.  :lol:
