Hi, I'm just about (post allowing) to recieve Afrika Korp and Desert Rats. I'm a fairly experienced wargammer and pick up rules quickly, but it would be great...
I haven't found any special rules on it. I know that the recon troops were better trained and lead, in addition to the special recon training. In the game...
They do move an extra hex, if I'm not mistaken, but if you wanted to, you could allow them to perform combat movement without being activated by a leader. I...
I'm playing scenario 24, Hill 175 just now from Desert Rats by PBEM with a fella in Chicago. That has been static defence v Attack. It has the makings of...
As a PG enthusiast that owns every module, except the 2 fantasy 'modern' modules, I was struck by the question "Should Marker Counters be sold seperately"...
My inventory list shows two Marder III's present in SS colors in Beyond Normandy. Those two are the only ones that I know about. Mike ... From: bishopse5a...
A Marder appears in Slovakian colours in the recent First Axis module. It appears in scenarios set during the Slovakian uprising in 1944. I do not have my...
Thanks Craig and Mike! Bishop ... module. It appears in scenarios set during the Slovakian uprising in 1944. I do not have my copy at hand, so I cannot...
You're looking at around a $1 change in price, maybe $2. Of a $50 game, about $25 is distribution and dealer markup, and another $10-$15 in non-material costs...
You DO realize that having read this, I simply must buy First Axis (somewhere down the line). So many scenarios, so little time ... Mike ... From: bishopse5a...
Hey Doug, Thanks for taking such an in depth time to reply !! If you are correct, then it is obviosly not worth that hassle. I did allude to it at the end when...
... You're joking, of course, but it does bear mentioning that a $1 increase in their cost of components translates to a good $5 increase at the retail level,...
Doug, Consider the fact that wargames have changed very little in 30+ years; people like the tactile experience of this hobby, despite the fact that computers...
Thanks, I'll take a look at those scenarios. BTW how easy is PG to play via email. I tried ASL a few times, but it really gave me a headache!! Tony ... has ......
Personally, if there is no rush, then I think it is particularly easy, though there has been one move that was confusing. I would suggest exchange numbers so...
OK, Unlimbering and limbering rules have always left me goggling, be it PG, ASL or figure gaming. An opponent and I have a difference of opinion on rule 5.63...
Thanks for the Info. I have a couple of regular FtoF opponents, but have always thought it was a very different experience playing PBEM as you have more time...
Vince  I think the first alternative that you mention is the correct one. If the transport unit moves to a new hex before unloading a weapon unit, the...
I'm getting back into wargaming after a long break, and after browsing a slew of websites, have started to play some of the basic games in both the Panzer...
Mike, Â I have not played the ATS (Advanced Tobruk System) although I have been a long-time player of Advanced Squad Leader [from which the ATS system...
RTB scenario #13 questions Roads to Berlin scenario #13: The special rules for this scenario limit the German freedom of movement until fired upon OR a russian...
I've only played a little ATS, but I like it. It's much closer to ASL, in scale at least, than to PG. Units are individual squads and vehicles, rather than...
I did not settle on one or the other - I play both. It depends on what kind of experience I want to have. If I want a greater degree of detail than I get...
They playtest the scenarios; I'm not sure where anyone gets the idea that AP doesn't. Editing is usually the problem with AP products, not playtesting. I...
Hi, Craig. Many thanks for taking the time to write such a comprehensive and helpful reply. I am familiar with Panzerblitz-- when it first came out, it made...
Hi, Croaker. Thanks for your post. One of the things that I was wondering was whether or not the two systems offer distinctly different gaming experiences,...
Thanks, David. Yes, the rules for ATS can get pretty involved, that's for sure, leading to the greater degree of detail that you've alluded to. It's also...
ATS rules can get "pretty involved", true, but not to the extent that ASL does. It's closer in overall complexity to the ASL starter kits. I find that...
Craig, Actually you really kind of skipped over the one game that it is really based on Avalon Hills Tobruk. I have and played all three games and I will even...
