C8.2

Let us know how you did in the scen. The last time I played it I got wiped out by the American.

Ahh! C8.2! found it, many thanx!!

Its only turn 1 but he seems to have only setup with a single AT-gun with a field of fire on the open terrain to the north of town so i am somewhat confident. If my troops can reach some cover it becomes a totally different game.
(I am a great believer in the U.S. having everything "up front" in this battle - hit the Germans in the open fields of board 16 rather than letting them onto board 12)

Note also that the ammo depletion numbers are increased, but NOT smoke dispenser numbers. :nuts:

Principally because the rule speaks to depletion numbers and the SD# is not a depletion number. It is a usage #.

 

[J P]

Didn't know that!! (not sure if its a positive or negative for my current game but, it all works out in the end).

The other major difference is that smoke dispensers never "break". No effect when you roll a 12 except that you didn't get smoke that time.

Note, that is smoke DISPENSERS, not smoke AMMO - big difference

For those following along:

Smoke Ammo is increased by 1.

smoke dispensers are not(are there any WP dispensers?...don't think so).
