The Competition & Teaser Thread

Well, the AT ranges in infantry is allways a problem, for me in early and middle war infantry is unable to engage tanks/hard targets at range (1 hex) other quetion is assault/close combat... in PzC where the AT guns in regimental and battalion level are not present (and not in all titles, i think now in USA regimental support weapons) i can understand the abstraction but in PzB no.

Yes, the question is, what is the true attack range??? we count the unit hex or no??? i think you dont count it because the infantry soft range is 4, if 4 is for me close to the max range 4+1 is out.

Ammo... this is for me the Achilles heel in all Tiller engines specially when last wargames i buy in all them apply individual value/% in ammo per unit, terrain affect resupply but units have their own fuel/ammo reserves and can fight cut off supply lines certain time. I never like Tiller games in this area because you cant control units ammo/fuel levels they enter in low ammo/fuel totally random even when they are in a well supply hex with a good command chain they enter in low ammo... apart the problem in PzC with the isolated rule where you can have an unit days in a position and in 2 hours fighting in isolated status be low ammo... WTF a unit as garrison in a city enter in low ammo in 2 hours??? WTF they dont have depots???

But i dont see SQB much better here, for me use a weapon degradation is a psss solution, if you have limited the use of certain weapons... why not give to main guns in a squad a limit of shoots??? in defensive fire every time you shoot this could count only between 1/2-1/4 of a shoot in your turn.

And finally, i dont see why PzB doesnt have scens covering battles in more than 1 day, a scen with 100 or more turns... is nothing strange in Tiller games (even more, you can play Jena in a single scen for example and here you have 10-15 minutes turns, 6 days of fight in 524 turns) i am more a medium scens player but i dont say no to big scens in turns... apart this, you can create a battle scenario covering in a single scen all the fight this could be good for team games for example.

I like PzB??? yes, all i see made me like it but as in all Tiller games they are not perfect for me specially today when are wargames that cover some of the Tiller engine weak points, at least for me... but well, they have their own weak points to
