Round 1: Grenzewolf (WON) Vs. Sink The Bismarck (lost)Combatants:Grenzewolf - Axis Sink The Bismarck - Allies Army restrictions: year 1939, total cost 50, Max. 8 units, no heroes Grenzewolf -------------- 1X Panzergrenadier 5pts 1X SdkfZ 251 6pts 1X Mauser K98 3pts 1X Type 92 MG 1 Nebelwerfer 1X Elite Panzer IVD Sink The Bismarck --------------------- Bren MG x2 MAS Char-B1 Somua Pillbox We don't use the extended Rules as many haven't bought them and they are not available online. So, we stick to the original ones that everybody is familiar with: http://www.wizards.com/avalonhill/rules/aam_rulebook.pdf Use the AAM units database http://www.wizards.com/avalonhill/aam_db.asp for units for which you don't have the cards. Alternatively you can use: http://www.hordelings.com/frontend/games/aam/items.php or http://www.boardgamegeek.com/file...oad/23758/A&A_Minis_stats.xls Notice that: The German SS-Panzergrenadiers and the American Ranger units cost 7, instead of 5. The Map for the first round (you deploy in the far left and far right hex columns): 
Use the embedded dice-roller for the dice and make your own images with gimp, paintbrush or any other image editing software. You simply write down the name of the unit on its hex and then post the image on a photobucket account. If you need any help all moderators can help you and most users of this forum.

Submited my army.
Map looks interesting. <Shakes Sink The Bismark's hand> Here's my roll for Map side choice Rolls: (2d6)

[quote="Grenzewolf"]Ok Im fudging my way through this but here is the Roster & Map. I couldn't find the Mini Images on the Photobucket site but I think we can copy and post them from the Data Base. Just post them down in the squares below your name then we can just copy and paste as we go!
If this works this should be our default map 
|

| NeuralDream |
And you're good to go. | ||
| carrion |
Do not mean to ruin any ones parade but the SS panzergrenadier is a 1940's unit. | ||
| NeuralDream |
carrion is indeed correct. Grenzewolf must swap his two ss-panzergrenadiers with something from 1939 that his opponent doesn't object too. I would suggest two normal panzergrenadiers and one kar98 rifleman. |
||
| Polish_Cavalryman |
there's always the SS-Storm trooper. | ||
| NeuralDream |
Actually, you are right. I'm pretty sure he meant the SS-Stormtroopers instead of the SS-Panzergrenadiers. Grenzewolf, do you agree with this change? |
||
| Grenzewolf |
 Bah!! That will teach me to use the "Official" Data base. I punched in 1939 German search while shopping, then clicked on the Panzergrenadier and and I got the SS Panzergrenadier. (Check it out) I had already noted it was a bad link but still but didnt notice it was not '39. My appologies. ( I dont have my cards with me to confirm)
And yes I was toying with either stormtroopers or mounted Grenadiers. OK scratch those two time warpers in exchange for 1X Panzergrenadier 5pts 1X SdkfZ 251 6pts 1X Mauser K98 3pts or two SS Stormtroopers 14pts My opponent can call what he conciders the lesser of two evils since I have now seen his build. |

Unless "Sink The Bismarck" considers this choice unfair, you are good to go. Have fun gentlemen. | ||
| Sink the Bismark |
That's fine. | ||
| Grenzewolf |
Ungh!! I was hopeing you would call my fate. I dred facing that Char & Somua. Good build
Ok, I'll stay with the two SS ,,,,,,"Stormtroopers" I already rolled for Map choice. |

No, paint is just unforgiving. The type 92 was under the PZIV so I had to recopy and paste over it. I din't have an increase in units. Here it is from my publisher.

Bren1 to F-2
Bren2, MAS to D-2 Souma to E-5 Char to B-4 |
||
| Grenzewolf |
I assume you inadvertedly switched Bren 1 and 2 as the other way is not possible. The Somau is no big deal but you need to decare orientation for Bis for hull gun. I believe this is the orientation you would have wanted.
Type 92 opens up on Bren in the open with both Bursts. Rolls: (6d6)
