Blitzkrieg question

Sweet!

its all set up……i guess it was good enough for them to go and make the map on Abattlemap like they said. i’d like to give it a try.  but i think we need one more player to be america

this goes into the rules for america and how they are influenced.

and the bolsheviks should also be played by the american player or another player, it gets pretty complicated.

there is a chart listing somewhere…i’ll find it after my league move and a sandwich.

That’s true.  The supply lines also make it difficult for the invader but challanging non the less.  Linkon, you played a rough game if you went into turns 7 and 8, the game is supposed to end after the 6th turn. 😄

@Emperor_Taiki:

I was looking at the new early war sets at the flames of war stand at GenCon today. The german infantry company with assualt guns looks awesome, but its $200 bucks!

If you like the Germans you should play them!  🙂 But dont feel as though you need to buy the box sets, they sell them in blister packs with one platoon, or vechial as the case my be. Yeah, it might be more cost effective to buy the box, but its a big hit to the wallet!  :evil:  I started my soviets off by buying a box set of 3 full platoons and going from there. When I started playing they only had their first edition rules and they had started in mid war (42-43). I built this mass horde infantry force backed up by huge artillery companies. However it was an unweidly force, very cumbersome to move around and it tended to get shot to sh*t alot! Now, Im going to build a more mobile force of tanks and motorized infantry, and i’ll by fielding them as Guards forces (which are the Soviet elite). Single platoons backed up by hordes of T-34’s, thats the plan anyway.

@Emperor_Taiki:

I would like too see a picture of 25 t-34s

And as soon as I get back to CT i’ll start working on that  😄 So far I have 6 IS-2 Guards Heavy Tanks, I could try and post a pic of them if you like

the half life mod day of defeat also has swastikas….and the american war movies/mini-series(saving pvt ryan, band of brothers, etc) also depict nazi symbols…so i agree that they chose that so that they could sell it on the larger market

@Sun_Tzu:

Whats the purpose of this topic exactly? Theres not really anything more more for someone to post on this except “yeah, I like it too” (which I do actually, good game)  :mrgreen:

I haven’t played it but I would be curious to see what people think of it. I think there is more than just the simple “I liked it…”

You can address errata to make it better, mechanics that weren’t the best, best moments, etc.

GG

Anytime! Glad I could help a little. 🙂

Just in case anyone needs parts, or would like to build a game for way less than the $170-200 complete games are going for. This does raise a question. Why would anyone replace the pieces with Battue pieces to be left with an all cavalry variant?

That is correct.
