hoping to finish up the night scenario this weekend. Still sitting on T5 after my golf vacation up north
Are you remembering the DN5 rule that discourages this sort of deathstar?10-2 led stack of 5 HMG'
Even when we were playing Dinant, I still made killstacks and just surrounded them as best I could. It was a risk I know, but I think only one time did the sniper pick the MG stack and it missed the leader. His sniper counters arent that close to the area of my two kill stacks in Inor at least in this scenario. He's got them both in the woods (seperated by the minimum # of hexes possible).Are you remembering the DN5 rule that discourages this sort of deathstar?
Catching up to this way late, but standard anti-sniper defense doesn't work in Dinant. The TEM of the Kill stack gets dropped to 0. You need more than the standard 2 HS on either side of the deathstar waving bright red construction flags. It doesn't prevent kill stacks, but it certainly can penalize them. That said, you boys are Inoring at the moment .but as Neil pointed out, even in Dinant it's not much of a deterrent IMHO, just play standard anti-sniper defense
I thought I had to risk it in Dinant. I got away with it for the most part. Only once did the sniper find a killstack and it selected a sacrificial half squad with a HMG. Maybe I was just lucky, but I did lose so on the other hand maybe not....Catching up to this way late, but standard anti-sniper defense doesn't work in Dinant.

Well..................if your sacrificial HS was holding an HMG, he was living life well. Most sacrificial HS are in the low rent district with Mauser's and the like. ;-)I thought I had to risk it in Dinant. I got away with it for the most part.
