RE: FRONTLINE NEWS (Winter 2006-7) is here!

not to my knowledge. there are units in war at Sea that units can split their main gunnery, but u cant stack units to get more attack dice. all units roll independently

I just saw that WotC re-updated the revised rules, and released revised stat cards for all sets.

I applaud them, especially on the quick work to create the revised stats for Eastern Front.

Now onto the interesting part…

The must discussed new stacking rules have been tweaked!  If you overstack a unit, it receives a face-down hit marker at the end of the Move and/or Assualt phases.

You may not overstack a hex by more than one unit, uncluding during a move-through.  (This fixes the issue of, say, hitting a landmine and getting stuck in a hex that is already overstacked).

A ramification of this is, as I see it, a shift in balance from single Heavy tanks to more smaller tanks.

Armchair Generals,

Well, it only took me 8 months, but the new (and I hope) improved Historic Battlefronts Website is now up!!!

FRONTLINE NEWS

The next issue of FRONTLINE NEWS will be released on 1 September. If you want to be added to the mailing list (it’s free, duh!) be sure to send us an email at: sales@hbfronts.com If anyone is interested in writing an article or creating a scenario for this issue, we’d love to hear from you.

That’s all for now.

Actually, DL, you make a good point there.  I just tend to at least hear people out when it comes to “rumor-mill” type news.  I was just trying to see if anyone else had heard the same thing.

Oh, and good job on calling my Big Lebowski reference, dezrtfish.  :wink:

nice!

Please let me know what you think of it!

On GW: Oh if I could only have all the time and money back that I spent on GW.  The only game of theres I still even play is Blood Bowl, and only because it’s not nearly as cost intensive as the rest of their games.  GW games aren’t bad, and can be quite fun, but I found it’s just not worth the effort, especially with lugging all your boxes of units around.  AAM is sooo much easier to transport, set up, play.

Amen to that. I have case upon case of 40k stuff- and that’s just for ONE army. A&A? A Walmart tackle/tool kit with one army in it…lol
