I like to get into the big games (so far at 1800 points each, heavy on the armour and 700 when infantry heavy).  I love the look of 3 D boards and build my own from styrofoam.

When you get that big, you need umpires who are really into the rules and who can keep the game on task.  Each player really can’t effectively fight more that 15 pieces and fewer is better unless there are all the same model.  Otherwise knowing their special abilities is tough to keep up with.  I have seen all sorts of games lost by those who have not employed the abilities properly.

With multiple players have the teams send up their players in some sort of order and have a designated die roller.  It keeps it faster.  Also, no thinking when its your turn to move or assault.  All that needs to be done ahead of time.

Have fun!  Where are you, can we join in?

Let me know how 40K people take to this.  I’ve a club on my campus (Trent U. in Peterborough Ontario)that I’m unsure of how to break into with this game.

Mot, basically there are only two new tanks, a couple of changes to some tanks that are in other sets, renames, country changes, costing changes.  You know the changes better than I do.  See below, I’ve list the ones I know.

I would suggest only to add the two new tanks and work on set III.  Need some Panzerschreck HELP!!! with the new IS2 tank.  A platoon of Panzerfaust is not enough to kill it.  Defense 7/7 + superior armor.  Even if it’s disrupted the Panzerfaust needs to roll 8 out of 10 to damage.

New:
Sherman VS 17-Pounder
Valintine I

Country change:
T-26B (same as Chinese T-26)
M3 Light Tank (same as Stuart)

Name change:
M18 GMC (same as M18 Helcat)
Panzer IV Ausf F2 (same as Panzer IV Ausf. G)

Other several tanks & Vehicles rocosted

Dammit, DL!  Once again, you’ve taken the words right outta my mouth!  :x  :lol: I’m joking, but yeah, without using other country’s units, the sniper/commisar combo is on the money.  :wink:

There are definitely things aspects about the game that are not perfect. But I think the positives outweigh the negatives.

Compared to other games like it, it’s cheaper, it has a nice rule system, it is customizeable, and games can be as short or as long as you want them

You’re right in saying that non-mountain hexes do not block LOS too.  I wasn’t thinking about forested mountains though; maybe they should further improve units’ “stealth” by making them only able to be attacked at short range?

I dont see any long bridges on the maps, or wide rivers…

@ezto:

Why not buy singles jester?

I probably should have been  a little more clear: I really want 6 AB, but also don’t have enough Chinese, Romanians, Japanese, or Polish and thus still buy set 2 over set 1.  :-D  Plus I can’t buy singles online. I don’t have a credit card. Blegh.
