GD1 La Guerre Finie!! - SSR 6 errata required

[TiltingAtCthulhu]

As I just put together the VASL version of GD1 from the first Grossdeutschland Pack, I noticed a possible error that might be of interest to some:

SSR 6 gives the Germans Elite status as per C8.2. What this does is it increases all Depletion Numbers for special ammunition. However, the only applicable gun is a Pak 35/36, which only has HEAT and APDS ammunition, of which neither are available in 1940. What I guess happened is that the availability of German HEAT (which starts in May 1942, see C8.3) which isn't printed on the counter was overlooked. So should we scratch SSR6? That might upset the scenario balance, but the only alternative would be giving the germans the Stielgranate '41 in '40, so that might upset a whole bunch of grognards. Rocks and a hard place, eh?

(For a longer discussion on the HEAT availability woes, see here: http://www.gamesquad.com/forums/index.php?threads/apcr-availability-table.128672/)

Germans never had APDS as far as I know.
I think you should just drop SSR6.

It was more to designate the Grossdeutschland forces as Elite (A1.25).

The Class is important in that they affect a unit's capabilities and also determine what units can be substituted for them during Deployment, ELR Replacement, or Battle Hardening.

As Dave suggested, just ignore SSR6.

A question I have is related to the Turn Record Chart and the French symbol on turn 5. There is nothing specific listed in the French OB nor in the SSR related to turn 5.

 

[FMFCB]

I have the old version and there is H35 that enters on that turn. Did you have the new version?

 

[ASL_nut]

I'm not certain, since there is no version information on the pack that I can locate. I purchased the pack a few months ago, and since it is different from yours, I'll assume it is a 'new' version.

 

[FMFCB]

I got mine my more than 15 years ago. So I think you have an update version. I'm sure George will let us know later today or tomorrow.

 

[George Kelln]

There is a typo.

The French H35 tank that enters on 22GG5 is suppose to enter on Turn 5 and not Turn 3 as incorrectly listed on the scenario card.

Thanks George for the clarification!

FYI I've now played the first three scenarios from GD pack 1 and have enjoyed them all!!!

Thanks, I am glad you are enjoying them.

played GD1 today (have played others from the pack). The Germans could not get across one of the bridges, my fortified building and 3xMMC with leader kept them at bay. French won. =)
