    Any chance you can let us know where you got those roads? I love the rounded ends and how they lay flat on top of each other. They look seamless on the table

    Thanks for the game folks. Some terrible saves there, Jacob. One thing to note, mortars are AT1 so can only bail top armour 0 vehicles. I think you lost a lot of halftracks to mortar fire.

      Hey Frank, thanks for watching! And indeed, I have the worst luck lol.

    Well, every German player has the exact same luck. In our group whenever a player brings Germans we use the same die. We’ve banned using German specific die for those players since they almost always roll horribly. We still usually just have blue on blue fights since the best lists are American, British and some fun Russian heavies.

      LOL! Yea.. Maybe the key is to stop using themed dice in our games... Ah well.

    Thanks for another great battle report. Jacob your dice rolling luck has to change sometime :). After seeing the m12’s in action glad I have mine painted and ready to roll :)

      Most welcome! Glad to hear you enjoyed it : )
      Really not sure what I can do about the dice thing lol
      Hopefully your M12s are just as vicious in their next game!

    Thanks for this great battle. The american artillery is so efficient and the german armor is made with ...🤔 wood 😉

    Jacob you need to turn yourself into the University of Toronto Mathematics and Statistics department. A graduate student could earn their doctorate, possibly a nobel prize, by analysing your dice rolling.
    Refugee, from the laws of probability. You should have played the card!

    Why didn't the single King Tiger die when it failed the assault by getting bailed by the Chafee? Once bailed I thought they could not move, and so when forced to withdraw would be automatically destroyed?

    • @LackofForesightGaming
      @LackofForesightGaming  2 роки тому

      Hey, sorry for the delay. I think we stated in the video we were not sure how the rules interacted in that situation as they had not technically made contact due to defensive fire. And the rules for destroying bailed tanks is for the end of the assault step.

  • @johnsiringo4032

    why was the German units so tightly grouped allowing the American player with all his artillery, and mortars to cover so many targets? I know you had narrow gaps but fewer tanks lined up hull to hull are less easy targets! Where were the german infantry that should have advanced with the armor units to support them? Do You never take any German artillery units like Bisons, or Lorraine Schlepper's or even good old 10.5 leFH18 guns? I would also think the laws of possibilities would find you rolling a greater number of higher die rolls with the same 20 dice and not constantly choosing from 30 different each time. No science to back up that statement except carefully watching both of your dice rolling abilities. Something about the " Laws of possibilities"
    Great game and great scenery job again!

      Hey, sorry for the delay, the last few days have been crazy busy at work.
      Was bunched up so as to present a solid mass of front armour to try to mitigate side shots as much as I could.
      The infantry regretfully became pinned and stayed pinned for the majority of the game.
      We only recently were able to acquire two lorraine schleppers so those should see action soon, but german arty is pretty expensive and thus we dont get to have too much of it. The wespes were almost 14 points I think?
      Ahh my dice.. yes I dont knoe what metaphysical diety iv pissed off but iv yet to meet anyone with quite the same luck as me.. as for new dice, im afraid its not currently in our budget. The little disposable money I have from my pay cheques go into getting us new books and models to continue trying to bring new and exciting content, sadly haven’t been able to buy new dice yet..
      But glad you enjoyed it otherwise: )

      No house rules that I can think off, though we did mess up the at on the mortars. What parts caused confusion?

      Fair! They have not been in a good spot in v4. Though I think the brigade panthers could be good when used in the correct situations. At 20p for 3 they arent terrible..
