A report of a game I played on Easter Monday.

Glad you enjoyed the 'house rules' Colin. Two double 1s in a row by the Jadgpanthers . That had to hurt and obviously did!

Yes, I'll be trying those rules again soon.
I considered restarting the game after the two double 1s in a row, but the US armour probably wasn't going to last too long anyway and the main battle was going to be against the American infantry.

FWIW, the American HQs can act as FAOs, so losing their FAO should not have been too bad a loss. The one consequence is that if the American HQ fails its artillery call, that completes that HQs turn, but if the troops it is commanding aren't doing too much anyway...

How did you find the 5+ to hit for IDF? Too good or about right?

"FWIW, the American HQs can act as FAOs"
Yes, I'd forgotten that. Thanks for the reminder.

"How did you find the 5+ to hit for IDF?"
Well I used it in combination with Static Hits and Auto-suppression and it was only my first try at it. I liked all of those rules, but I'm not sure I need to use all three together. I'm under pressure from my club mates to make dug-in troops less difficult to finish off. I need to try those ideas out some more.

One thing I've tried is only auto-suppress if units are in the open. Maybe that will work well with the 5+ from IDF. I'll have to try that myself to see how it plays out.

Thanks for the comments and ideas guys.
