Question?

I saw your post sitting so long I registered to give you a few pointers on maps. Most if not all the WotC map packs are themed in some way. Originally they were 2" hexes but were changed some time ago. The map packs you mentioned are themed as follows: North Africa - 3 Desert maps and on reverse side 3 jungle maps. Eastern Front - 3 town/factory maps and on the reverse side 3 Russian steppes maps. There are two starters, the one in the cardboard box is the old one and contains 12mm mini’s and 2" hex maps. the new starter is in a blister pack and has 15mm mini’s and 3" hex maps. The maps in the new starter are mixed forest/hills/clear. The rules and revised cards are downloadable through the WotC site.

Have a look in the Expanded rules book for “Enfilade Fire”.

If you get a unit adjacent to an enemy unit then during your assault phase you can say that that the enemy unit is preoccupied(and therefore facing) your adjacent unit.  Then if any other units can trace a line of fire into the rear of that enemy unit they get a plus one on their rolls.

Of course if you surround an enemy with adjacent pieces you can dicate where the facing is so that each of your pieces gets the bonus.

Happy New Year folks.  May you have plenty of gaming time!

ok, I sent you an email… hope you get it, it was some 6 mb.

sorry for the off-topic.

He means that the US Hero can keep using the destroyed tank’s attack values turn after turn, until he leaves the hex.

The tank is destroyed and can be removed from play (though I suppose you can get cute and lay it on it’s side with the US Hero on top just for the visual effect and as a reminder what vehicle stats to use :-D)

Your the subject matter expert, and not to blow sunshine anywhere but I trust you comments.  Thanks for all the info!!

Crack Shot gives you +1 to hit, I think you mean Headshot?

An attack from Headshot is NOT a hit, so doesn’t stack with them; all it can do is exactly what is says; give a face-up disrupted counter. This is exactly the same as getting counters from defencive-fire - they don’t count towards the number of hits during the casualty phase.

The Partisans would get Defensive fire rolls if the tank moved to an adjacent hex… There’s no reason why the tank couldn’t move away though as long as it was on it’s own movement/assault phase- it can’t move away when it isn’t it’s turn (I’m not sure what you’re asking here).

@UKcommander:

Besides for the paratrooper ability, are all other special abilities used as many times as need be?

Single-use cards (eg AP Rounds, Headshot, Smoke Screen, etc) will say so otherwise it’s usually considered ‘always in use’.

Paratroopers & Partisans ‘deploy.’  A unit can only be deployed once.
