As a target, suppose I'm a dug-in tank. I'm not moving so I'm in overwatch. I'm hull-down and so I'm dug-in. The firing table says +1 for overwatch and -2...
... They are taken together. Being dug-in is nice, but it also makes you a sitting duck. By the way, I took the kids on one of those 'ride a duck' sightseeing...

OK by me. Just expected that the dug-in modifier would replace, not supplement, the overwatch modifier. ... then one ... tank is ... the open. ... games....
I came across this on TMP http://sixtwentyeight.blogspot.com/ Personally, I don't like basing 6mm armor, but this is an example of how nice 6mm bases can look....
Very pretty indeed. I guess if I could paint even close to as nicely as that I might go the whole hog and base things.... ... -- "Every normal man must be...
I just purchased some 6mm infantry from Adler and the service that I received from them was great. I emailed them a list of what I wanted. They cast it,...
(Post repeated on testofbattle.com, as well) Look at German equipment. Except for the 88, it was roughly equivalent to that of the British. Look at numbers....
This is a good question. Unfortunately I don't have much of an answer for it. I think it gets at the difference between board games & computer games on one...
... Oops, I didn't write that clearly. There are set prices for each pack, but they don't charge you until they have made all the castings and weighed them to...
I received a postcard from GHQ yesterday. They plan to raise their prices by 15%, effective July 9, 2007. They say that the cost of their metal has gone up by...
I ran a game last Friday. Generally, the group liked the rules. A problem I had with my scenario is I started the sides too far apart. My table was 72 inches...
On the column shot just a few observations: 1) Road Dust- preceding vehicles in the column would kick up dust which would obscure line of sight for following...

By the way, during my last game a Typhoon came in and it stunned a Tiger II that had ended its movement phase in the center of a bridge. It was still moving...

Answering my own question, cruising the Internet shows me that the 2 lbr and the 88 AAA Pak 36 both had muzzle velocities of about 2600 fps. So their shells...
Aaahh, the problem of making this come to pass in a game situation. In my N. Africa games so far effective combat has occurred at about 15-18 inches. The...
In my mind, at least, I've figured out how to treat tank fire vs. guns (or softskins!) when the tank can shoot only AP shells (no HE). Consider: * The tank...
