I'm new . help!

You might also recall that there is a 15 unit limit, which helps somewhat against infantry.

SS-Panzergrenadiers, MG 42s, sIG/Brummbars are all useful.

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.

yeah they are all good games and fun to collect the only thing I find is its hard to play all of them or find people to play against for all of them, my area is WAS territory so thats the game people have and/or want to play out of the axis and allies line.

Use a lot of the same units.  Whenever I play, I give one player like 10 shermans if he is the us.  or 10 panzer IVs if he is germany.  It helps because you have less cards to look at for the movements and attacks.  If you cut out air, that shortens it too.

1939-1945 was the first up-scaled one.  All sets after that are and will be the larger size.  (So right now that includes North Africa and the upcoming Eastern Front set)

The rest of Sols minis came today, and we started playing.  It was kinda diffilcult to understand at first, but after awhile it was easy.  We played 2 matches in which I lost both.  :lol: I had a good setup, it was just the way I commanded my units that made me lose.  Oh well, I learned from my mistakes.  Anyways, he got some pretty good rare pieces, which I think he will post later.  😉

Im sure I’ll run into some things but that is it for now.  Thanks for your help.

I’m really enjoying playing the miniatures game.

Wow! Tiger heaven and great strat resulted in my first loss–quite badly at that.

What has been allies experience in the past in dealing with this map? Because we had only 20 units at 300 points I had to field several (5) armor and normally would have tried to lay back at the objective, but had not place to hide more than 2, maybe three units and theyd be divided heavily. With 3 crocs I had to charge and it was not pretty.

In expectation of an open map with heavy armor a must, then I’d guess going M26/M36’s for flanking would be wise. Any thoughts?
