Axis and Allies Miniatures: North Africa 1939-1943

I voted the same way, for the same reasons, but don’t forget the new A20 planes, some are pretty good! :D

@Audacity:

WHY?

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

The Fallschirmjager Veteran is able to move when disrupted.

In a way, its the opposite of Hard Charger.  Recall that Hard Charger clears the disrupt at the END of the move phase which means a disrupted SE Paratrooper is pinned.

Still, I’m disappointed.  For 10 points I was really hoping something cool.

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?

I split the Zombies stuff into a new topic.

@Ubermarine:

The Polish Calvalryman is a nice touch to the game.  Thay will be easy to use in groups of 3 or 4 against soldiers.  Im thinking the best way to use them will be to hide and rush machine gun nests.

Not just machine gun nests but also for going after BAR Gunners, anti-tank guns, and commanders. But I really don’t think you need more than 1 or 2 to accomplish this. It is very easy for the cavalry out of line of sight.

Last Thursday I played this army:

USA - M1 Garand x3
USA - “Red Devil” Captain
USA - Jeep x2
UK - SMLE No. 4
UK - 6-Pounder Antitank x2
UK - Vickers MG Team
UK - Humber Scout Car x2
USSR - T-34/76

Despite my crappy roles during the game I managed to hold on and almost win, despite losing my T-34 to a Tiger-I.

Some key things that I learned during the game were that cover is very important. The Jeeps were useful to get soldiers to the front very fast.

The Humber Scout Cars are good but just don’t leave them out in the open for attack, that’s what makes the strike and fade very useful.
