That actually sounds like a very good system. It would add a fantastic "fog of war" effect to the game. I'll have to talk to my group about implimenting something like this. Greg

If that is true Will you might actually win one or two games! :D If not I would get ready for a meal of Panzer with an 88 course dessert. Greg

Did the Germans run four tanks to the platoon or five during WWII? If so was this organization carried over to tank destroyer platoons? Greg

I know exactly what you mean. I'm putting the finishing touches on 50 1:72 scale German infantry made by Italeri. Total cost = $7.50. Greg

My group seems to be steering toward the 1/72 scale. Great availability for models from "any" army and they are all priced very reasonably. If you don't feel the need to paint your own there is always "Forces of Valor" for a superb range of 1/72 scale diecast vehicles and plastic infantry...

Now that is funny. And I think most everyone can see the difference between the two. Greg

Maybe it's just me but I find very little humor in 9/11. This is in poor taste to say the least, but as someone else here pointed out in another thread, "Poor taste is not illegal.". Just reprehensable. :?

I'm cool with following the "official" rules for the moment. Any changes we make will have to be playtested first. I wonder if I can use this as an excuse with the wife to get more gaming hours? :)

Uhhhhhhh....... QFT? Educate me please.

My biggest beef with the smoke rules as they are now is the exclusion of the infantry. Ask any modern day soldier if smoke grenades are a good idea and I think you'll see what I mean. How any times have we seen video from Iraq showing marines using smoke to obscure LOS while dashing fro one...

How about this? 1. Deploying smoke requires 1 Ready action and blocks line of sight. 2. Vehicles may deploy smoke a total of three time per game. 3. Infantry squads may deploy smoke once per game. I think this might make smoke a factor in the game while not increasing complexity overly much...

I too am a gamer that demands value for my gaming dollar. I bought the 1st wave Challenger II and two squads of British infantry for ~$75. Since then I have added two more Challenger II made by "Forces of Valor" for a total of $12.00. The FoV Challenger II's are 1:72 scale and look virtually...

What's the rush brother? You're just racing headlong into a series of long, hideous beatings when my Brits get hold of your Marines. :twisted: At least on those nights when I actually make it to the game. :lol: Greg

I looked for this and found nothing. With Battlefield Evolution at a reported 30mm scale, could anyone answer some of the following? 1. When making buildings, how high should each story be? 2. What are the proper dimensions for doorways? 3. How high should windows be placed in relation to...

I can name one area I certainly have no issues with, the willingness of players who are interested in this game to play, critique and attempt to fix some fairly large loopholes in the rules. We do this so that the game might evolve and become even better. We do this so that this might become...
