I think next time I'll bring a few beers down with me - that would help me get through the accounting drill with the morale modifiers!<br /><br />All kidding aside, I think this game would be much more fun playing with another human beingDisgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-66230659094010943982015-08-06T07:05:40.719-04:002015-08-06T07:05:40.719-04:00Nice one Steven.

Bolt Action is much better for solo play in my humble opinion. Much more brainless so I can focus on tactics and maneuver and less on modifiers and cumulative effects on target.Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-62088459463703336332015-08-04T23:25:20.143-04:002015-08-04T23:25:20.143-04:00I agree with you; you've got to limit the size...I agree with you; you've got to limit the size of the forces involved. I've played DH games with too many units which makes for many,many activations and a slower game. There is a tipping point to the system... which is a system I truely like.Grenzer Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07294380876807418037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-4726349613694761342015-08-04T17:54:23.732-04:002015-08-04T17:54:23.732-04:00Thanks, Darren.

It's been so long since I played DH that I thought I owed the rules a proper AAR.<br /><br />I tried the BATTLE Squad WWII variant using 3 251/1 Halftracks, a Tiger and a Panzer IV (Elite/Veteran Morale) against a dug in Infantry company (6 squads) and 3 T-34/76 (Regular Morale). That was a very satisfying and fun game. The Germans picked apart the Soviet infantry in the trenches but the problem I faced was:<br /><br />Do I advance the Tiger and the Mk IV, giving them a worse fire mod against those dug in tanks?<br /><br />Or do I keep them on an overwatch position to guard the flanks while my infantry advance. I ended up keeping them on overwatch and they were able to KO 2 x T-34s, with the Tiger using its superior Strike Value at range. (those T-34's needed a solid "12" to penetrate the Tiger's armor at the range they were at).<br /><br />The best the Soviets could do was either break from the cover of their works, advance and engage the German tanks closer (stal! stal! stal!) or just simply shoot, forcing a hit and making the Germans make constant morale checks. <br /><br />The result was my Tiger was pinned for about half of the game as all 3 T-34s concentrated their fire on him!<br /><br />My word this was a blog post in itself! I'll try a larger Company Assault soon and see how it goes. Look for a post soon. Can't wait to see how your game goes.Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-71643666934452331292015-08-04T17:01:24.980-04:002015-08-04T17:01:24.980-04:00Great review.

I guess teh complexity ramps up with unit size here, but sounds like a soild ruleset.<br /><br />I'm going to try your Battle WWII variant and Company Commander during next week. It will be good to compare different sized actions.<br /><br />Duc de Gobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668407600014604176noreply@blogger.com
