I got the feeling here is the right place for this discussion :)
Even this topic has propably been brougt up many times. And I am also aware that a tank piece in A&A represents a Division, Korps or even an Army and heavy tanks where only in very limited numbers within this military bodies, I am ever intrigued in adding the Tiger and IS2 models from AA41 into AA50 or AA42 … in a balanced way.
My goal is to have them as a real thread on the board, to make the opponent to keep an eye on them and to have a real new piece that would fit into any A&A game.
So, what do you think about the following ideas:
Heavy Tank
A:4
D:4
M:2
Cost: 10 IPC
Abilities
Blitz
Fear: For each round of combat one hit dealt by the enemy is cancelled. This ability is negated by the presence of enemy planes in the same zone.
Limited Production: Production is limited to one Heavy Tank per round.
Of course this would mean that a single defending unit would be removed immidiately from the board, unless this unit is a plane, which cancels the Fear ability.
Any thoughts on the stats and abilities?
