Paper Tanks Battle - PHASE ONE OF GAME - MOVEMENT

-
During my vacation we took "small" set to hotel and I was able to play with my son and check how he understand strategy and game rules...


So I have blanket...some buildings, trees, road. Small village with destroyed buildings.


On one corner we have German Troops with two Panther tanks, one T-34/76 - German version, one Tiger tank, one Stug III tank and two Panzer IV.

On Russian side I have three T-34/76 tanks, two T-34/85 tanks, one SU-100 and one Sherman with 76mm canon.

Each tank is mounted on plate with two colored lines (blue/black...which represent forward move and red line - which represent move backward)...


Game contains Phases: Phase I is movement. We used dice (classic one) - that person who pick more points - starts....

So if German starts...we move tanks per some strategy....we can move them all or few only - when we are done - and here is interesting point - Russian player can react with his tanks and plan move per Germans. So it is nice to be the second....hahahaha....

HOW THEY MOVE

 I am using a wooden stick.... select beginning of mount plate (left or right side where blue/black line starts) and move tank forward any direction or turn as standard tank (to turn select middle part where red and blue/black lines join together).



 King Tiger move One Mount plate on terrain and one and half on road. Use stick as a reference point.


When you need to turn your tank use center point of mount plate and turn tank left or right side. Turn must be done before move and it is not counted as a part of moving, Simple turn and drive that direction.




T-34/76 and T-34/85  move on terrain one mount plate blue/black line - when they reach road - speed rise to two mount plates - so they are faster, but on road only.

If you want to turn tank always select middle point (when red line start on the middle...)

Panther                 - one on terrain / two on road
Stug and P.IV       - one and a half on road / one on terrain
Tiger I tank           - one and half on road / one on terrain
T-34 and Su-100   - two on road / one terrain
Sherman               - one and half on road / one on terrain.
King Tiger            - one on road / one on terrain.
SU-152                 - one on road / one on terrain
KW-1                   - one and half on road / one on terrain.
IS-2                      - one and a half on road / one on terrain.

Revers - all tanks has red lines on each side of Mount Plate for reverse moving.

I did some modification to their speed level but each who build that game can adjust speed per their selection.

PHASE I will be finished when both sided move their tanks up to moment when one (or both) sides will start use Aiming Sticks and find first target. From that moment we start PHASE 2 - Target Selection (Aiming).


ONE PLATE  - each side of plate has blue/black line - and that is your reference line.

Hello again... Slowly changing some tokens to make that game simple. On FB I have group where I published more details about game, rules, etc... https://www.facebook.com/groups/566697750876378/?ref=share_group_link What was changed: 1. Simple altitude rules. Planes are mounted on stand with stick (I found up to 19.5 cm long) which gave me 10 different altitude levels. I started from 100m next stick was 300m up 2100. Between that I added only three altitude tokens and add +50 or +100 or 150m. So plane can move with one stick ( for instance 1500m and adding yellow token +100m it fly at 1600m.  Stands are simple picture of airplane model from top view with removed background printed on cardboard with size in 1:144 scale. Stand size allow to have high enough stick for planes.  Also I have added short S-stand (to fly straight) and T-turn stand -  used when airplane will perform any turns).  One plane kit has: stand, altitude sticks, two additionally stands called S-Stand (to fly straight) a...

Flying Circus Game.

In that part I would like to present my new Flying Consoles, stands and altitude sticks. Main reason is to minimize amount of game elements and also provide correct location of plane after move. Flying console has cut edges in each flying position with shape or size taken from stand dimension. Instead 11 sticks with length up to 20 cm I designed 3.5 cm mounts with so they can be joined together and place airplane on altitude from 100m to 2050m. If you have 10 planes you not need to have separate box with 100 sticks.. But still.. sticks are simple way to create altitude sticks instead short ones.. Also I have added ammunition counters so this time each attack depend on distance and side will cost player more or less rounds of ammo. Stand is 3.5 cm x 3.5 cm two cardboards (1.5mm) with four coins between. That's create solid and heavy platform so plane will not fall down. On top of stand I added picture of that plane from top view so player know which plane it is from bottom to top. S...

Panzer platoon

Using "flat" version of my tanks in scale 1:100 I decided to use platoon formation for German and Alliance tanks. Each platoon has Command Tank (CT) and two tanks from 1st section (1st) and 2nd section (2nd).  Summary - 5 tanks per platoon plus one SPG (STUG.III/IV) and Hellcat as platoon support.  They are controlled with 6c dice where each selection allow to control all tanks or only 1st or 2nd section.  Options are: One: Command tank - CT - player can move all tanks within Line Of Sight range. Those who are not in commander range, can move with Initiative option. Command tank can move w/o any limitation. Each side will be have maximum 15 Initiative tokens, which can be used by tank who is out of command range. That IT (Initiative Token) can be lost when player throw dice and result will be less than four or three (depend from scenario). Two: 1ST section tanks only - 1ST - that include support tank (SPG or Hellcat). Three: 2 ND section tanks only. Four: Initiative - IT2 - p...
