EXP G40 Game 3 Trout vs JCat
-
@trout so I converted a panzer general to SS panzer general right?
So far so good
But I recall the game said I can’t have 5 SS panzer tanks so how i make that?
Was my other warden group correct?
-
@johnnycat The SS Panzer Army is SS PG and three SS Panzers
-
@johnnycat That army rolls 8 dice attacking at 4 and defending at 5. Very potent unit
-
@trout now I understand why I see you building them every game
But regular panzer army is one panzer general
And 5 regular tanks so it’s easy to forget. Hence the reason to use the upper boxes. Duh. Now I see the sense in that.I just home so I’ll see if we can salvage this. Another option is to just stay in Europe. But what’s the fun in That ?
-
@johnnycat Ha Ha! Yes, the allure of conquering Africa and the Middle East is a strong temptation for Axis each game. But have to be careful to defend the homeland also.
-
I am reading and still need to ask
what is a Waffen PG and how is it used?
so 6 tanks for the panzer armies but only 4 units for the waffen guys?
Who leads the waffen guys:
The oberst obviously but maybe this guy can lead too? I cannot find rules for this Waffen PG. THANKS

Turns out that German turn 8 is when I broke the rules and sent nazi fanatics on boats and that would have resulted in the end of the universe as we know it -

So it appears that I might be able to salvage this game by just redoing that turn.
-
@johnnycat Yes, that was my suggestion. Just go back to G8 and play from there. There was something I wanted to change in my US8 turn anyway so I don't mind just going back to G8 and we play forward from that point. There is a rulebook for the Waffen Panzer General in the same location as all of the other rulebooks.
-
OK how about this then. For me to start at G8 means that I sort of don't coordinate the mafia turn immediately prior that and in this game I can see how that pair is intimate so I propose restarting at Italy 7 - the photo here is after Italy 7 currently so I would redo that and also get this nazi fanatics back into their cages.
Or we could just play checkers.

-
@johnnycat That’s fine
-
OK. I will do that

Right arm
on the Takeover. I'm still gonna do an example for others. Actually I'm gonna do examples for all the complicated stuff. I have a few done but most need updating.Anyway, the ss boys are scared of the water. They get seasick. However they are fearless in the skies so they can use Air Trprt. Remember the reich is the only player that can Air Trprt Armor units.
According to the Captain the reason for no naval transport for ss is game balance and the realism justification is they had much more equipment than their corresponding Wehrmacht units.
