Budapest 45 Russian OoB question

[Strela]

The armor values in Budapest have been messed up for years. German MKIVh has an attack value of 41 in both the Alt and non Alt scenarios but the Russian T34-85 has an attack value of 17 in the non Alt and a value of 30 in the Alt versions. For the Panther it is 59 for alt and 46 for non alt. In other words the Germans have basically the higher alt version stats at all times and the Russians are stuck with very substandard tanks in the non alt version.

In Normandy the Vg is either 45 or 33 and the IVh is 33 or 24 depending on whether the Alt version or not.

It was my understanding that ALL combat values for each model of tank was going to be the same in all of the different games Obviously that has not happened.

That was never committed to.

The original scenarios were as per the original designers values. The Alt scenarios are Ed Williams and the intention there was to have them all consistent. I can't comment on differences between Alt scenarios, but can ask Ed if required.

We only started using Ed's values as the default in game from Kharkov '43.

I hope that helps, but we have a rule to only fix bugs if apparent or get the original designers permission to change values in their work.
