A tactical WW2 game, apparently better than memoir 44. Anyone play it yet?
I got 3 copies of it… i plan on playing it at the end of the month. Id like to use the 3 copies to make a battle of the bulge mega game and having 3 German armies allows me to represent the 6th SS Panzer, The 5th and 7th army. I want to add some hero’s like col. Hesslers fictional character from Battle of the Bulge movie and have the movie playing in the backround.
mind letting me know how the game itself plays? how much you get it for?
The game plays a little like Flames of War. So I’ve heard anyway.
It’s kind of like a lighter version of Squad leader. The game also has event cards that add a little twist to each senario.
It breaks down like this, sort of.
each side alternates moving 3 bases each time until there are on units left to move.
each base has an attack and defense value whether thats 0 or 4 or whatever.
Firepower is a certain amount of d6s. Like a mg42 is 4 dice. Each 5 of 6 scores a hit.
The defender rolls their defence dice cancelling each hit against them with a 5 or 6.
Terrian, armor and fortifications account for most defence, Although there are cards that may impact that as well.
It’s pretty straight foward and fun.
There are couple things I don’t like about it and that is the lack of anti-tank guns and machine gunners, if given opp fire, can shoot at every single unit thats moves provided it has line of sight.
