First impression report Attacking disrupted units

[Huib Versloot]

I had 2 full strength (6 each) engineer units assault a disrupted 4 point rifle infantry unit and it was repulsed. There are not many scenarios where you have 2 engineer units together.

I had a full strength German infantry unit (6 points) assault a single 2 point 45 cal AT gun alone in a improved hex. It also was repulsed.

As I can believe that at some point very inspired and determined infantry platoon (even disrupted) can repulse almost every assault - they would rather be killed to the last man... it happened in history, and it may happen in the game... but the two 45mm AT guns? What they did? Thrown bricks on attacking infantry? :smoke:

I would really leave that new assault rules as optional. Those who like it will play it, those who don't will not check the box...

And of course the trucks, leaders and guns "feature" should be fixed :P

Best regards

Well thats about 30 men against 2 guns and their crews in an improved position. Also with the new rules the infantry will always win in this case, it just may take 2 turns instead of 1. Is that so bad?
I'm glad guns are a little stronger now, takes away the lone scoutcar overrunning artillery battery after artillery battery in 1 turn.... Now THAT was realistic...
