FRA+BRI/GER France 1940 (4)Here you can find map and battle details:
Armies
50 pts, 1 rare, deployment zone 2 hexes from the shorter side of the map.
Tips for beginners
- FRANCE: Use your ressources wisely, do not rely only on vehicles. Protect yourself against air raids.
- GERMANY: Think about Blitzkrieg - can you move quickly enough to encircle the enemy?
Map: Northern France
* Use classic skirmish battle (objective = center).
Special:
 F4 Chemical plant - treat as city hex. This is a strategic point. The army which will hit this hex by an unit with Destruction ability loses 5 pt.
Grown fields: these do not block the L.O.S. and give cover -1 to units inside.
Bocage: these hedges are an Obstacle for both Vehicles and Infantry. They give cover and block L.O.S.

It's a pity there are no covers in deployment zone.
Reminder: hedges offer the cover only from the sides they block.
|

If it is alright, I have a change. Here is what I would like my deployment to be:
SdK 251/18 - B4
Panzer III - A7
sIG 33 gun - B7

Schutzen - B6

No I meant rolling estimate and then actual, works better as two seperate, rather then last game when I did both as one roll. On that note you haven't missed a roll yet including movement rolls.

Yes. First, you roll for the "estimate", then for the "real" situation. If E=<R, you missed and the third roll shows which hex was actually hit (usually we count it clockwise, northern hex = 1)

Thanks, Sindor.

Statistically, the heavy artillery should hit on 50% cases only ... unless playing against an accountant

Right, because it is technically 41.67%.

Remember (as I do not remember) - if Bofors did not fire, it cannot be targeted (SA Field Camouflage), unless seen by a reconnaissance car on medium/by any unit on short range.
|
The Mighty A

Right. The Bofors did fire. It destroyed my Panzer.

Seems to me you wasted 9 points on a spotter, what is this 100% with indirect. Your move

I can't tell if the Valentine can fire at the SdK. If not, the SdK stays put.
If so, the SdK attempts to cross to J1 and then move to K3

Well, I guess it stays put either way. You get a defensive fire at it.

Vet moves into hex with the SdK.

I was afraid that you would move the Vet into the same hex as the SdK. That puts me in a tight spot.

That makes game. You control the objective so you win. Since I have more points left, you get 1 point (at least that is my understanding).
|
The Mighty A
|
Very good game. That Valentine made me worried.
|
carrion
|
OK, good game. Some poor decisions on my part, but oh well. Have time for another, looks as if you will be waiting some time for the others to finish.

Valentine's 5/5 was nice. Gave me a little piece of mind.

So the overall score is:
- carrion 1 pts
- The Mighty A 3 pts
You fought both very well, gentlemen. And The Mighty A goes to semi-finals (as soon as we will have at least one other winner of the first round).
In the meantime, if anybody of you is interested, you may challenge me If I loose, I will make you one unit of your choice as a "premium tournament card"

Sure I'm game, what year.

Choose any WWII battle  What about Ardennes Dec 1944 on 100 pts? I am also interested in Japanese, we may try some island fight on a part of Betio Map.
|
carrion

Pacific Theatre at 100 points is fine with me, pick a year and unit restrictions and lets have some fun. Pick a map if you have one in mind already, must have a few HHR maps handy.
|
The Mighty A

Thanks for the offer of another game, carrion, but I will be out this next week. If the semifinals have not started by when I'm back, I would be interested in playing you or Sindor (a Scottish Highlander card would be nice).

I will make some Pacific map on Friday and post it in a separate room.
