@RisingSun I had similar experience, I was big into the naval miniatures but couldn’t afford both. I bought a lot on ebay a year or so ago and have played a few games. It is not difficult to learn especially if you are familiar with the navy side, it’s pretty similar but includes facing. I think it’s a great game and wish I had collected it some when it was active.
Close Assault

Hello,
First of all, i want to say that i am new to the miniature game and only bought the ‘1939-1945’ starter set a week ago. I try to figure out what the ‘close assault’ means? I know that it allows soldiers to attack tanks, but how should i imagine this (in reality)? So ‘normal’ soldiers can attack armor?

In reality there was two ways to destoy a tank, by another tank or artilery from a distance or soldiers up close. Medium range attack on a tank is usless from infranty unless it’s a bazooka, pnzrfst etc.
Infranty in the same hex as your tank was dangerous, however in WWII they often countered this by providing close infrantry support to tanks. Thus if you have an allied infantry in your own tank’s hex, the enemy infrantry needs to pass defensive fire to enter to attack.

Ok thanks, but how should i interprete ‘close assault’ …? Do they use sticky bombs to destroy tanks? I can not understand how a m1 garand unit can destroy a tank…

Yes sticky bombs :lol:
Using the M1 garand as an example, they’ll simply climb on the tank and take out the crew by handgrenade. Plug up the cannon. Shoot into the hatch.

Think of a platoon of Garands (not just one) swarming a tank. Not a pretty sight – for the tank crew. :wink:

I bought one when it first came out, and really liked the way it racked and handled.
Great home protection weapon. If an intruder heard you racking that baby and didn’t high tail it out as fast as his feet could carry him, then he was a idiot for sure.
Here is my dilemma, I recently had to part with it and have been kicking myself ever sense.
Do you know where I may find one, I have been searching, but without any success.
If anyone knows I would appreciate it if you would let me know.
Thank you.
