Re: Hull mounted guns
The simple way of doing it without changing the rule system is to count the two guns as one (aim, reload, etc, as the crew would be unlikely to shoot both at the same time) but have a higher strike value in the front arc only to represent the hull mount. In the case of the Lee/Grant: I think Strike ...

Re: Big WaT
My suggestion fot this topic and staying with the Keep It Simple idea, is that the Commanding tank can use '6' wild dice (if any) for a 'MOVE ALL TANKS IN SAME DIRECTION' action, each tank in the command getting a 'free' move towards an objective there and then if they wish to. As for lack of radios...

Re: Hungarian Tanks
For more unusual tanks, my method is to find a tank that is listed in WAT that has an armour arrangement that is roughly the same as the vehicle you want, then use that armour value, likewise find a listed tank that has the same or nearly the same main gun and use that strike value. The special feat...

Re: Updated points system for What a Tanker and AI tanker
limiting the number of "cheap" tanks sounds a good idea and in the case of the Type 2 Ka-Mi swimming tank, historically accurate as I think there were never more than 4 ever deployed in a single battle (some one please correct me if I am wrong about this)

Re: Updated points system for What a Tanker and AI tanker
Thank you for making these lists available, but I have noticed that Japan's Type 2 Ka-Mi is now only 1point cost, is this an error? should it be 2 points? The next tank up (Type 89 I-Go) is 3pts' but only 1 strike better. Also, say a single M3 Stuart, could be matched against 9! Ka-Mi's where as at ...

Re: Use of the Tanker Deck in 1 off games.
Here is an addition to my system of using Tanker Cards in one off games: If there are no Level 4 and above tanks being used, then Level 1 get 2 Tanker Cards. Level 2 get 1 Card each. If no Level 3 and above, then only Level 1 Tanks get a single Card each. What prompted this addition is that the last...

Re: Doubts on point costs and big tanks
My suggestion is to have lots of woods and buildings about, use them to keep breaking the acquires the big tanks get on you and also try to get behind them, a big tank only has to lose 1 command die and things become awkward for it, lose 2 and it starts to struggle and remember it may have a powerfu...

Re: Use of the Tanker Deck in 1 off games.
This is an ammendment to my post above: Having played more games with my own system I described above, I have found that giving a level 4 tank an extra Tanker card does make them just a tiny bit too powerful for their points cost, so now for my one off games:- Level 1tank = 3 extra cards, level 2 = ...

Re: M10 Tank Destroyer and Ramming
On the M10 = Fast, there is simular situation with the Sherman Firefly which is rated Slow but it by no means lacked speed, it was just slower than the standard Shermans it usually worked with. The rules I think are in that case are reflecting the danger of the Firefly getting left behind in an adva...
