Achievement Unlocked - Side Armour Kill

58 Comments

It didn't take long! Some British Tanks swung round to exploit the German flank and have taken some pot shots at their side armour.

It's always good to see the underdogs doing well considering things are starting to turn badly against the British. Will they be able to hold out with some good shooting?

Ah – I see what is happening – FeldMinion Justin is distracted with making updates, hence the shakiness of his flank.

Very true, @dorthonion – I wasn’t doing my best earlier in the boot camp with running games and trying to keep up with the campaign map. I can’t even imagine trying to win a tabletop game while shooting video.

AND Justin was up against @bothi , who is a wicked bad ass player (I lost to him earlier in the boot camp).

Could see a German unit break in the middle of table. Looks like Justin won’t be seeing the cavalry arrive in time.

Well tanks don’t seem to too different, just bogs and morale seemed to have changed for tanks.

Looks that way, cross check ratings means it harder to get through the terrain but there’s no penalty if you fail.. Does that mean we’ll see more attempts to cross through terrain or not I’m not sure?? Certainly I think you’ll see more tanks assaulting into terrain as there’s no risk to it now for them

Interesting that it is noted the British are underdogs. Not sure how to take this. Based I what i am seeing, the Germans List and equipment is clearly slightly better than the British. Not trying to start a debate honestly… Great boot camp.

It’s a good question , @klute – the German tanks aren’t really better than the British ones, but they do get better special abilities like Stormtrooper (allows two movement orders instead of one). Better skill checks (so better on crossing checks, movement orders, etc). Some British tanks also have weaknesses like no HE ammo for 2, 6, and 17 lbr antitank guns, which makes them all but useless against soft targets. So the devil’s in the details. If you just line up tanks and blast away at each other, the British seem OP. It’s not until the German player really… Read more »

The best way to deal with an armored behemoth, assuming you can’t nuke it from the sky!

I presume deep striking with Swooping Hawks is out of the question here? 😀

Surprising that a Grant unit won this achievement. I would have expected it be won by Crusaders with their longer tactical speeds.

That’s the strategy! Keep Justin busy handing out prizes so he’s table goes slow and all the Brit armor can start heading his way!
