I genuinely can't say I won't be in town

Spoiler:

[PhantomRescue]

We can have as many batteries of armored artillery as we want though right?

A.

It says please limit yourself to one battery of artillery period. It can either be armored or not, you decide. I'd take the priests obviously.

See....now was hoping you would actually come up for a change, bring that Brit list with you! It eats elephants for breakfast.

Your email said the only limit was going to be tank company with 3 plattons of armour, why the restrictions on arty?

[PhantomRescue]

Final details are on the webpage and on the Petawawa page as well.

Why the limit. Let's see.....to stop artillery from being a centerpoint in a tank tournament. Forces people to play the game face to face, instead of 105's and 155's blowing everything up in sight. Thought I would try it out since other events have similar restrictions.

[Twinlinked]

makes sense to me,

A.

[Panzerkommanduer]

Check your email Matt!

[Joyous_Oblivion]

Sadly working and I have other time off requests already in for other events in October

[lothlann]

i don't own easy army or Battlefront Forces of War so that means i cant make a list?

also my tanks don't have turrets and i can only have 2 units of tanks in my list.

[PhantomRescue]

Your Finn list precludes you from taking three tank platoons? If you don't build it online, I can't verify it's legal.

Go to FoW Lists Chris, they have a builder you can use. If it's a tank company and can only take two platoons and a hq, can you get more armor through the supporting platoons?

Marty, sounds like after your promotion, you have less time than before, sorry dude. Catch you at KoW?

Less and more time it seems just not as regulated. As of now in sitting in a command centre doing surveillance work. Have to this all September. October I think I'll be back to regular though...

[lothlann]

i was looking at the 150th Panzer Brigade Battle Group, it only has 2 units of tanks, well panther unit and 1 stug unit (turretless but you specify turret), the hq is infantry that way i can use my me 262

Well seeing as Elephants aren't turreted I fail to see your point...

Unless you are talking real elephants but I think a mobile AA like an Ostwind would mow down a herd of them more effectively (!)

[Twinlinked]

yeah, i guess the elephant PDF is a no go eh..

A.

[Diragi]

Also the Elephant picture above the rules adds to the fail.

[PhantomRescue]

I don't listen to comments from people who don't play in, or care about events.

The turret thing was an example given to me. Fully armoured tank teams, fixed guns or not. You guys know what a tank is, it's funny I have a few people signed up already and they understand.

Chris, like I said. Is your list a Tank Company? If it is, you're good.

[Twinlinked]

Actually i bet an all elephant list would do pretty well

except that everyone and their dog would be geared up to kill elephants..

A.

[Twinlinked]

Unfortunately, its not looking like i will be able to attend this event - but if i can this is what i will bring:

285 Schwere Panzerjägerkompanie HQ - 1 Tiger (P) (late)

600 Schwere Panzerjäger Platoon - 2 Elefants

600 Schwere Panzerjäger Platoon - 2 Elefants

100 Panzer Anti-aircraft Gun Platoon - 2 Sd Kfz 7/1 (Quad 2cm) (armoured)

120 Grenadier Platoon - Cmd panzerfaust team and 4 Rifle/MG team

------

1705

build you list accordingly folks

A.

[PhantomRescue]

Tristan's Chaffee's and Duaner's British Crom list both had a good time with that list, they cut it to pieces in fact........so circus away my friend!

[Twinlinked]

The biggest limitation to this list is too few shots, the classic German heavy armour issue,

The other is a lack of 2IC..

A.

[Diragi]

I don't listen to comments from people who don't play in, or care about events.

Why do you always put your hands over your ears and go "lalalala I can't hear you" when we point out contradictory rules in your scenarios and stuff?

[RKelly]

I think Matt has a good point.
