Just bought these two modules. Mainly for the countersheets....
Are there T-55 counters in Genesis III? I know they have the T-54...but what about the T-55?Not too long...just since June. Certainly not as long as I have been waiting for the Volga 3 and 4 mods!
Hi Steve, I have seen the countersheets at the DM website. There are T-55s and T-62s and even some T-54s...I was advised today from Maureen that the Magach 73 counters sheet re-print is in and should ship out to me shortly. I will let you know if the T-55s are in there as well as Annual 5.
Ah, okay Jan.Hi Steve, I have seen the countersheets at the DM website. There are T-55s and T-62s and even some T-54s...

About 50/50 then.....sigh.Nope. Talked to them yesterday and those counters have not arrived yet. Neither have my Volga 3 and 4, nor my Toktong Pass or Pork Chop Hill.
But they shipped my Operation Olive, Gustav Graveyard, Maxim Gorki and the fortification counters I need for Mike Red/Green.
How long could it take for shipment from garage to the house?Nope. Talked to them yesterday and those counters have not arrived yet. Neither have my Volga 3 and 4, nor my Toktong Pass or Pork Chop Hill.

OK, sounds cool. The T-54b would put you in 1957 at the earliest (small batch runs in the preceding 2yrs for testing new systems etc). What are the armour stats? And is the gun stabilised in horizontal and vertical planes?So I received Genesis 3. No T-55 counters, but there are 6x T-54B tanks, 5x T-10 tanks and a couple of IS-IIIM. That is enough post war Russian AFV to consider creating a WP vs Nato CG set in the early 50's. The Brit and US AFV from the FW module would be their counterparts. Genesis 3 contains various post war Brit and US AFV in Israeli colours. Plus some Brit and US post war AFV in Egyptian colours. Plenty to be getting on with.
I suppose it's up to you if you want to put the frontal armour at 20, assuming that the Asl model of counting each factor as 10mm of armour is correct. (the front hull and turret on the real tank is 200mm LOS).The armour is a squared 18 at the front and a squared 8 at the sides. I think the stabiliser is a possibility for the later modules. The T-54A is not much different except for the gyro. I have seen counters for the early T-54. I think they come in Magach '73.
