Hi All, 1. Can an SMC mount a motorcycle in advance phase? 2. How may MP can a wounded SMC use on a motorcycle (28mp)? How about if he has to spend 1mf to mount first? Thanks!

Hi All, Infantry advances into a location already by-pass-sleazed by a friendly AFV. Amazingly, the attacker (vehicle side) achieves ambush. Am I right in assuming that the attacker now resolves all attacks before the defender and sequential CC is out the window? That is, A11.32...

Hi All, Motorcycle+Squad moves along woods road using road movement rate. It is fired on by small arms, but not along the road depiction. Should the net IFT mod be 0 (-1 motorcycle, +1 woods)? Or is the woods TEM nullified by the EXC in B13.31 (last line) with a net mod of -1? Thanks!

Hi All, Infantry moves from IN DD5 stream, bypassing EE5 (2 mf), then enters EE4. I believe this is woods, and hence would be another 2mf (4 mf total) at that point, correct, since movement is not along a road, even with the obvious clearing? Thanks! Image is from board 72.

I'll add how I played it. dm/assembly is not explicitly listed as causing HIP loss, and even though doing so is SW use in a fire phase, it's still not being fired. I played that the HIP is retained if out of enemy LOS.

Hi All, Playing DTF-2 Blitzkrieg!. Per DTF special rules SW may setup HIP but are revealed if fired/placed/thrown, dropped, transferred or possessing unit no longer good order. Can I dm such weapons without revealing them? How about if out of enemy LOS? If so, do I need to show the hex...

Hi all, Unpossessed AT gun is in a hex with enemy troops. During rally, an enemy squad recovers/captures this gun. Can the CA of this newly captured weapon now be set to a new direction as a consequence immediately during rally? My opponent claims so, but I cannot find a rule reference...

Hi All, I'm under the impression that an unarmored, unarmed truck cannot be used to freeze infantry in woods (per A7.212). Since the truck just has an inherent driver one cannot attack with TPBF (i.e. not PRC for A7.211), and this combined with unarmored & unarmed yields the exception to...

Fast forward to the end of Japanese turn 3 and we have my second force entering at the double quick to seal the 9-2 and around 3 squads, Baz and 50 cal in the jungle. Still too tough to get my turn 5 fragile tanks past the Baz position, so the plan was to bring on a banzai charge in turn 4 to...

It was my pleasure to play Jeff in the final match, and also to have the honor of creating an AAR of our game. Jeff selected several scenarios, and from those I chose CH#157 Armored Probe -- a dense jungle affair, pitting the armor-supported Japanese against the US Army in 1944 New Guinea. I...

You can keep trying until you get a smoke placement, then that tank is done for the scenario.

Hi All, Playing Festung Budapest campaign 2 as Russians. Several scenarios in all my artillery crews have been killed, but I still retain most of the guns. Is there anyway to buy more crews? I did not see this possibility in the RG choices (other than buying cheap aa guns or something)...

Hi All, 8-0 leader alone in a building, with no SW. Enemy MMC declares infantry OVR and passes its TC. On SMC options (A4.151) option 1 is fire, and remain in place and accept CC during movement (after all DFF). Since the 8-0 has no weapon, may it still stay and accept CC, or must it be...

Thanks, though I think only M7 is an internal location. So M7: No, L7: No?, K8: no?. And N7: yes, M8:Yes even with wall?, L8: yes?

Hi All, Please consult the following diagram. Building is an L2.5 factory with rooftops in play. Mild breeze as shown. It's AFPh now and time to drift smoke. The situation is now like below just before smoke drift. Scenario is BFP84 from CoS. Does the factory or the internal walls...
