Flames of War D-Day Waffen Campaign Mission 5, Into the Unknown

[@paulpeine8355]

you should not have taken all side shots on the tigers, it looks like only one had a side shot.

[@dragontankgaming]

Its possible? The first time they shot they had at least side shots on 1 and the killing blow had side shots on both. Perhaps there was another time I shot and we mis-aligned the models or something.

[@IoannisZaharakis]

I believe that the spearhead move may not take a Team within 16”/40cm of any Objective outside your own Deployment Area (Rulebook p. 93).

I really enjoyed this one; both sides had lots of infantry. I *like* infantry (especially armored infantry) but too many games come down to medium and heavy tanks battling it out, and the infantry doesn't do anything but watch and try not to die too quickly to artillery fire.

[@dragontankgaming]

Well its not like my Shermans did "MUCH" before dying to Tigers. And the Tigers died to the 57mm AT guns. But yea, FOW has a weird issue that infantry cant do much to tanks directly a lot of the time.

[@christophernix8003]

where does it say pak 40 type guns can go into buildings? They're impassable to tanks and guns?

[@dragontankgaming]

The Large Gun rule states that this unit cannot be placed into buildings. Things like the 203 Soviet Gun and the 8.8cm gun have that rule. The Pak 40 does not. Granted I think it mostly means that you can place gun teams into buildings during deployment or ambush but you can also make the argument that you pick up your models and "place" them in the building. This has nothing to do at all with me not checking page 43 of the terrain section in the rulebook at all and I'm absolutely not making excuses....

[@christophernix8003]

That'd be huge to hide guns in buildings

[@dragontankgaming]

@@christophernix8003 Yup, that's why the large gun rule exists, certain guns are just WAY to big to operate out a window. Another interesting rules interaction is mortars. You cant fire mortars while in a building...does being on a building count? You get bullet proof cover and concealment no?

[@deanmarquis4325]

Pak 40s arnt large guns, that's why they have a 3 plus save

[@deanmarquis4325]

PF attack side Armour in Assaults. Thats a 12 vs x

[@zxcvbob]

Anti-tank on a .50 MG is 4, not 5. Its *firepower* is 5+. :)

[@dragontankgaming]

Uh...oops? I would like to say I was thinking the P-47 (their .50s have AT 5) but its more likely I cant read.

[@deanmarquis4325]

I'm sorry there SS. So it's 3 plus to hit.

[@deanmarquis4325]

Arnt the Germans veteran so it's a 4 to hit the Pak 40s with the Sp mortars.
