Thanks for the reply. I didn't know if they were finalized yet or not. I will wait for the "official" go ahead.

I'm the roadblock at the moment. Hopefully by March I'll have the brain space to review this.Martin is doing this with alan as far as I know!
I was reasoning that the mount for the 122L was more robust than the 85L, and that the larger gun would have required counter-balancing armour on the turret to compensate.The IS-1/IS-85 had basically the same turret as the existing 2 IS-2 variants so should be a [14] rather than a (14). The KV-85's turret is grossly under stated. It should really be [[[8]]] (IE 18) rather than [8], but official ASL only allows 1 "step" up or down from the hull.
Paul, you're killing me with facts! ?On all IS variants the mantle was only 100mm thick! The bigger 122mm required a widening of the cut-out in the turret, thus replacing thick cheek armour with the thinner mantle. I have read little to indicate that the 122mm was breech heavy, indeed I think the reason that the mantle could not be thickened was that the 122mm was slightly muzzle heavy.
If you wanted to reflect the differences, for IS-2 a frontal turret hit with a DR of 3 treat as a CH, but not for the IS-1. The IS-1 actually had slightly better protection than the IS-2 at the turret front.
I would retain the exact same armour of the early IS-2 (no IS-2m, IS-2M is a postwar rebuild) RVN 27 of [14]/11. I hadn't noticed reduced turret side armour on your IS-1 before now. Again the 8 turret side armour of the KV-85 is an incorrect artefact of the limited ASL "steps".
A KV-85 should rate [[[8]]]/[[6]], an IS-1 [14]/11, early IS-2 [14]/11 and late IS-2 (26)/11.
Yes, I can be a right pain at times, sorry ?.Paul, you're killing me with facts! ?
And a left pain, but especially an up-the-middle pain too!Yes, I can be a right pain at times, sorry ?.
In fact, every nationality, except perhaps the Finns, Chinese Communists, and various Partisan renditions, has Assault Engineers. Fanatic ones too.Do the American broken ground counters have 747 Assault Engineers?
So you get 10x of them?
