All about the Ozz, Black Sabbath and Ozzy are easily amoung the groups taht most influenced today’s hard rock and metal, along with Zeppellin, ACDC and some other bands of the time.
But for all around kick-assedness, again, its all about the Ozz.
Also of note-Ozzfest (St. Louis) was friggin amazing.
Also-Judas Priest should be on that list-Sabbath stil beats’m out, but Priest was pretty damned good.
I’d go with Churchill-as i feel he essentially messed stuff up the least for his generals ;).
Hitler was the most active probably, followed by Stalin.
I would have selected Truman had he been on there.
Roosevelt can’t win, because he failed tyo see the need for buildup because Pearl.
Don’t really know enough about the Emperor to judge whether he was involved much, and whether he was effectively involved.
I think it was probably lumped into Protesstantism, along with Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Lutherans Etc.
Btw, i disagree Janus, Atheism is a firm, set belief in the abscence of a god, therefor a religion (imho). ;)
I’m not sure what i am, i prescribe to some Christian beliefs, but i find more of what i believe in common with the early, “original” christians, the original jewish followers of Christ.
I am not sure if Jesus was our savior, and i doubt (though its possible) that he was the son of god. I do belief he was both a great man and a prophet.
I certainly believe in a higher power and higher purpose, of course, i also prescribe to some “pagan” beliefs, as well as a belief in a lot of "supernatural’’ things.
I don’t have a religion so much as a set of personal beliefs.
Well, in the version i put forward, i think that only the armor should be allowed to continue-bringing the infantry for a second strike may be a bit too strong (i really don’t know how it would play out-but Russian Buffers could end up failing (miserably)).
Anyway, if it gets some testing, then definately let me know how they work!
Also, expect more constructive criticism as you put more of these great creative topics forward.
The use of the original AH Panzerblitz which i don’t like.
I think this version could work well however-As, while a follow up attack is a huige advatage, you have to have a good first combat, having moved one, but also, all your losses in the second combat will be armor (Expensive!).
Hmm, idea for Panzerblitz that would capture the power of it, and still be useful!
How about this
-PANZERBLITZ-
When germany eliminates all enemy defenders in one territoty in the first round of combat, German armor can make a follow up attack on at neighboring territory, or may make a NCM. The armor must have at least 1 movement point left in order to make this second attack or move.
(Reword it for me-not written well by any means).
I’m not sure if this is too powerful, and would lead to Russia falling very fast, but i think it better represents the Blitz technique-rolling through enemy territory, ratehr than attacking and running away ;).
I think this would be balanced (as it is quite powerful) by tanks only being allowed 1 move to attack, if they want to utilize the followup, and that all enemies have to be eliminated in round one (Not a super common accurance on the Eastern Front from my experience).
Let me know what you think.
Panzerblitz-
Didn’t like it originally, alongside the better, more powerful, and frankly more interesting powers, i think it should go (i love SS Panzergrenadiers, as well as Royal Tigers-being a fan of German armor use myself ;) )
I must say, SS Panzergrenadiers may be a bit much with the increased attack), as its the equivalent of US Marines and Mech infantry combined, while being able to be used in conjunction. I’d say just give them the additional movement and it should be sufficient, and quite useful for getting those slow infantry and Armor groupds to the front quickly, though i hold that with increased attack its a bit too powerful.
You’d actually be amazed at how effective Combined Bombardment was in some of the games i’ve played for the US. It allows MASSIVE Naval bombardment, and with 3 movement, it means new Destroyers can be off the Coast of Japan/Western Europe in 2 turns!
a Fleet of Destroyers and Transports with Naval Bombardment in the AH rules is pretty good in and of itself-3 movement is icing on the cake.
And in reply to you Adersson, YES, that fix would favor Germany, but Rockets has always been a German tech, due to their # of AA guns, and their placement. I just think it may be a bit much to be able to hit Britain for 8 each turn (assuming they get the tech and all that Jazz).
Giving it to Germany free turn one via Nat’l Adv may be a bit much as well. It mean Russia and England will ALWAYS be down a couple of IPC’s, automatically, from G1 on.
Love playing Japan-you seem like an underdog agaisnt an overconfident US often (in my Tabletop group), though you have SO many options and play a MASSIVELY critical role in Germany’s survival.
Rockets is clearly the most inferior (and was in normal AH rules, except maybe Jet Fighters).
A quick fix-allow multiple rockets to fire at the same complex, but follow the same max damage rules as LHTR (ie: No more IPC dmg from SBR and Rockets combined, than the total value of the territory).
Not sure if this would be unbalanced or not, but it would definately get it out of the Sh*tty category (but maybe to far out).
