I look forward to seeing the pics. I saw Jake's modern figs at the Siege of Augusta a few weeks ago and his 1/600 vehicles are painted nicer than my 1/300's! ...

My chosen theatre is North Africa, 1940/42. The tank models in 1/285 have teeny-tiny turrets. Trying to face these things means keeping them detached from...
When I started playing panzertruppe, many of my turrets were already glued down to avoid losing them. One house rule I sometimes use is to deduct 1 from a...
Doug's solution should work well. I think I may have played in one of the games that he is referring to. At times I've played without any turret facing rule,...
The Char B 75mm gun was located in the hull. It is my understanding that the gun was aimed by the driver, and could not be traversed without pivoting the...
Given what you are saying about the Char B I think you can justify using the rule that only one of the weapons may fire in a given turn. One way to do this is...
I'm away from my rule set, calculating something. I need to know firing rate of the following weapons: British A13 tank: double fire? German 50mm Pak 38 AT:...
How well does PanzerTruppe simulate North Africa shooting? In the PanzerTruppe rule set a shot hits if the player rolls on a d10 a modified 6 - 10. Various...
... [snip] You know, the 'preview' looked a whole lot better than the web page. In the preview my text was aligned just-so (using tabs in the source file). In...
Are trucks automatically destroyed when hit by tank fire or do you still roll on Table 3 with an unmodified 7+ destroying the vehicle? Thanks, Brian...
Nafricatank, Wow, this analysis is great. Thanks for taking the time to do it. I'll have to print it out and read through it carefully. Did you factor in the...
I do have this in a Word file (your linux users may object...) and can post it. If I'm going to post it, I must make slight changes for versioning. I didn't...
In the Files section, I uploaded a Word document that is a completely revised version of what I posted in the message board this afternoon. In this revision I...
In my analysis the AT guns each hold off many tanks. One reason is that they are dug-in. Another is they can fire 2x as many rounds. Is this because the AT...
... Yes, AT-guns have larger crews and are less cramped. I also assume thay can see better. Some would dissagree with this, stating that the AT- gun's...
If the guns have a functioning recoil system and the spades on the gun trails are properly dug in, they shouldn't bounce around much. Guns firing from prepared...
I just finished reading "Tank Warfare: The Story of the Tanks in the Great War" by F. Mitchell, the commander of the first tank to knock out another tank in...
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE I recently finished Patton: A Genius for War by Carlo D'este. The chapters covering WW1 and the training of the...
Is anyone thinking of gaming with GHQ's new "Wehrmacht '47" Line? See http://www.ghqmodels.com/store/military-models-wehrmacht-world-war-ii-micro-armour.html ...
I'm not interested in this, and am somewhat annoyed that they wasted time on this fantasy stuff instead of historical models. Most of these '47 kits look like...
... Anytime a "what-if" force consists of more super weapons for the Germans only, I get turned off. No interest here either. I was surprised GHQ went this...
"Most of these '47 kits look like cocktail napkin doodles by Krupp engineers or something" This is totally unfair; they would have spent hundreds of man hours...
Chris, I guess the old men haven't considered what some of these miniatures could add as scenery in late war games for some. Fighting over a Maus as an ...
