FINALLY! the new revised cards are available!!

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.

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.

I’m pretty excited about the Kangaroo Ram for the Canadians.  I’ll be looking to trade to get extras of it.

OK, so far I’ve seen that my Polnad invasion scenario (1939) is completely gutted.  I’ll have to rework it now that half the units have been up-yeared to 1940 or higher  :cry:

After some time (about two months) there’s a new scenario!!! YEAH, but w/out PDF.  I just can’t understand why they couldn’t take the extra time to put it on a PDF.  It makes it so much visually better.

your right they are 1939 but have more expierience and were somewhat “good” equipped i would also would have liked to see a +1/+1 i have two cases already go panther tanks!!!
MUHAHAHA

Nothing at this time.

Though I like the grizzled veteran, it is the inspiring hero who has captured my heart.  The last two games I have played with the British I have used the Inspiring Hero in conjuction with 2 piat gunners by themselves in adjacent hexes.  I wait for the Germans to get close- then chaos erupts as I drop my Hero in with my PIATs and they skip forward and stop any armor column dead in it’s tracks.  In each game I have destroyed three tanks, the last one I destroyed a Elite Panzer III, a Puma, and a Panzer IV.  I love PIAT gunners now.
