We did not use the German +1d6 BR but the rukes for the equipmwnt were perfect and subtle, not bestowing too much of a qualitative advantage but still being superior to Soviet tanks. <br /><br />The Leo advanced gun rule was moot because my table is only 72 inches long! I do think advanced optics and advanced stab were helpful but again, not making it a complete turkey shoot for NATO. All in all it was challenging for both sides i think.<br /><br />I am happy to chat or discuss the game in more detail if youd like to. It was a fairly big game with up to 35 vehicles / units in play.

It will definitely impact on the Soviets orders, but give them some interesting options.<br />RichardRichardChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09715518001361703533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-58299211345199444392019-05-19T18:38:44.681-04:002019-05-19T18:38:44.681-04:00Thanks Steve - NORTHAG looks really good in your n...Thanks Steve - NORTHAG looks really good in your narrative.<br />I have a bunch of 10mm modern stuff which would suit it as well as SDTTRR - so trying to collect these and get them a quick spray job at the minute - plus the guys have tonnes of 10mm Skytrex/Timecast stuff.Duc de Gobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668407600014604176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-85670681907930667812019-05-19T12:58:59.296-04:002019-05-19T12:58:59.296-04:00Darren they are a great set of rules very versatil...Darren they are a great set of rules very versatile. We have enjoyed them very much for years now. Im looking forward to NORTHAG but it's my understanding that NORTHAG will be a different game than battlegroup. <br />I pre ordered "Seven Days to the River Rhine" and read them the day they arrived! Cannot wait to give them a spin. They look like lots of fun. My two cents but if you liked Iron Cross you will love SDTTRR.Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-82817338510351730152019-05-19T12:54:30.985-04:002019-05-19T12:54:30.985-04:00Cheers, Norm.
