Sorry for any confusion, but this sale is closed.  I found a buyer on the Avalon Hill sight in the fall.

1.  Changing your facing is free as part of your movement.  If you cannot move (say due to disruption) or if in the assualt phase you you opt to attack instead of moving then you cannot chnage facing.

2.  Unless otherwise indicated on the card, all units can fire in any direction regardless of the facing.  Units that have restrinction are noted on the card and usually state "Fixed Howitzer" or some similar special ability (or restriction as the case may be).

October?  Geez I thought it would have been out a lot sooner. 

Thanks!

I think this was answered in your other thread?

I'll go a bit further with the Brummbar, because it is related to front-vs-rearer armour as well.

Your front arc is actually more like 178 degress, because the hex line that extends exactly perpendiclar (right-angle / 90 degrees ) on either side from your facing is actually to your side.  In fact, in AAM, that exact line is the only shot that is the the side.  Everything else is either in front or to the rear. 

Of course, in AAM there is no "sdie armour" rating.  Shot at the front use the front defense rating, everything else (including Cloase-Assaults) go against the rear defense number.

Why did I go into so much detail?  It turns out to be an imporant tactic to swing your armour to that exact 90 degree line to:

1.  Avoid the many fixed-howitzer in the game
2.  Target rear armour, which can otherwise be hard to get to with slow-moving tanks

And don't forget, if you score twice the defense rating, you land a destroyed marker!

He can ignore it to the extent that it would affect his movement.  he still suffers a -1 on each die and a -1 on defense.

The random islands might be hard to implement with the current version of MapView, depending on exactly how they are used.

Some questions:

Is there a maxiumum number of units in a hex (or square, though if each row of squares is offset by 50% then they are effectively hexes)?

Are there additional counters needed beyond what is used in AAM?

Same for arrows (if you are familiar with MapView)?  For AAM, you have Move, Attack, Load/Unload, Defensive Fire.

If I am ever going to support WaS, I might as well do it while there is only one set out!

That's an interesting idea.  Do you know if the new maps are available online?  I'll have to go check...

I know this one, I asked something similar recently on the Avalon Hill FAQ page.

Apparently there is a glossary definition in the rules somewhere that states that "If a unit ignores a hit counter, treat that hit counter as if it weren't there."

All special abilities modify/bend normal rules in some way, otherwise they would'nt be call Special Abilities!  In this case, SS-Haup is pretty much the Terminator and continues to grant initiative bonus and everything else until he is completely destroyed.

PS - If you want to see my question and the answer I received, it's here:

So there is only one map?

Title says it all.  I don't know anyting about the game, but I imagine it's simial to the AAM version.

Mot

My only concern would be any "pinned" threads that are designed to there for posterities sake (like tutorials etc)...if they had embedded content then those long-lived posts might get broken?

The files can be downloaded to any temporary location and then "installed" by going to the Tools menu within MapView.  Alternatively for thoose who are more computer skilled, these files can downloaded directly to your "usermods" directory. 


You'll need MapView version 1.3.20 or higher to use these.

The new install for this version of MapView can be found here:

http://www.motcreations.com/downloads/mvsetup1320.msi

If you already have a version of MapView already, and you have other PBEM modules installed, be aware that you will need to migrate them to this new version.  This can be done by using the Tools menu in MapView and navigating to your old Modules and Usermods directory to import them.

You do NOT need to register your copy of MapView to use these modules.


I look forward to seeing you all in the Play-By-Forum section soon!

Happy Gaming!

Yeah I posted on the Avalon Hill site that the search was broken.  I too searched on Tank Destroyer and found nothing.  But if your "Search" with no criteria it shows everything which is good at least.
