You can of course go down a level (after you have achieved the upgrade and are treated as an ace again. So you have to decide if a new tank is worth the loss of ace status!Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02351729764098750618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430216265579762068.post-2935924366688309882018-05-01T00:01:29.662-07:002018-05-01T00:01:29.662-07:00Thank you Lee.

Personally 1 tank was enough for me although I could (and did) cope with two. Needless to say Certain tanks are a lot more points than others. So a single Sherman against a tiger would be a mis match!<br /><br />I hasten to add the rules allow for any scale so if you already have a different scale that is OK. But for 10mm or 6mm I would use CM instead of Inches. For 15mm -28mm use inches. Above 28mm Heaven only knows, but I bet it is on a forum somewhere.<br /><br />So if you have 1/72nd scale tanks use them. Or 56th scale use them. Whatever you feel happy with.<br /><br />Terrain wise. Use what you have, it makes little difference. Remember though tanks have to fight on it. If there is little/ no cover it all comes down to who rolls the best dice first!<br /><br />I get the idea that the rules were written to be either a participation game at a show OR a club game with several players all at once. A decent Reff could peobably handle 6-7 players on the first outing IF they knew the rules well.<br /><br />I would have a look on Youtube, and watch a vid or two to get a better idea.Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02351729764098750618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430216265579762068.post-5392465122830510512018-04-30T07:31:39.403-07:002018-04-30T07:31:39.403-07:00Awesome game mate!
