The problem is, sure the 8.8s would have been great for dealing with the crocodiles but then they would have just completely nuked everything else. I don't think that would have been a fun game to play OR watch. I figured getting over run by STUGs was a reasonable balance instead of just...lots of 8.8s.
They can. Its the flame trailers rule that prevents the taking of an objective. I probably misspoke at some point about that. The shermans and AVREs were required to win, which were the easier to kill targets
@@dragontankgaming I don't have a British D-Day book. The ARVEs are black box units in the Breaching formation, aren't they? (or are they gray box) They look like a fun allied support unit for my Americans :D
@@zxcvbob They are a support choice in the book. The Command card for the breaching formation has 3 requirements: 1 HQ, 1 Sherman DD Platoon, and 2-4 AVRE churchill platoons. I'm not 100% sure on the ruling for command card units as black box but I'm going to assume that you could black box support an AVRE platoon into your US force.
Arnt the Pak 40s concealed. They get a plus one to hit.
They were not. He popped his ambush and moved them the 2" forward to be under 16, this pulls them out of the foxholes and therefore are not concealed.
The German player hasn't taken 88 mm Flak. What!

Can't the AVRE Churchills take an objective? I know the Crocodiles cannot.
