Russian tanks are great if Germany decides to swing down towards the Middle East instead of a straight march to Moscow. They are not going prevent the stackwalk any better than artillery except perhaps if the calculations show that the extra firepower will slow down a critical step like Rostov or Belarus. Hence it could be good to build the tanks on turns 3 or 4, depending on the German DoW. No need for them on Round 1.
Alpha Stuff
-
How is everybody getting physical stuff for the Alpha setups? I have already printed off 2 9-page documents with the setups, NO’s, rules, and whatnot, both of which are now obsolete! Is the new Alpha finalized? If so, I’ll probably print it off again, unless someone has a better means of getting physical copies of everything you need.

I just had to print a few things:
-
The new setup (I just copied and pasted it into notepad from the HGD thread).
-
The new rule changes (same as above - notepad).
-
The new National Objective charts (I made mine in excel, uploaded them here).
That’s it. The battleboard hasn’t changed, and I use the IPC tracker that came with the Europe game. Things aren’t finalized yet but from what I understand the end is getting closer.
