John Miller Vs. Grenzewolf Combatants: Cpt. John Miller - Allies Grenzewolf - Axis Cpt. John Miller ------------------ 21 Typhoon 17 Lightning 12 M1 81mm Mortar 21 Rangers x3 04 Jeep 05 Tank Trap x5 Grenzewolf ------------- PzIVF2  22pts X2                           = 44pts Flak 38 7pts X1                              =  7pts Wehrmacht Expert Sniper 11 pts X1 =11 Pts SS Panzergrenadiers 7pts X2           = 14 pts Type 97 Anti Tank Gun  4pts X1       =   4pts Army restrictions: year 1943, total cost 80, Max. 12 units, no heroes. 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 rules that everybody is familiar with. Use the  AAM units database for units for which you don't have the cards. Alternatively you can use hordelings, bgg, or even better here. Notice that: The German SS-Panzergrenadiers and the American Ranger units cost 7, instead of 5. ******* You win if you control at least one objective and the opponent controls none at the end of turn 7. If no winner is determined by the end of turn 7, then we re-check by the end of turn 8, 9 and 10. If still no winner, the game ends at the end of turn 10, where we count the total cost of enemy units killed. ******* The Map for the third round (you deploy along the top and bottom hex row): Send me you armies gentlemen.
