I only added them to this battle so that I could explain away who would be manning the pillboxes.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-50053226513374683342009-12-05T17:35:54.512+00:002009-12-05T17:35:54.512+00:00Great write up Bob - I certainly think that the id...Great write up Bob - I certainly think that the idea of a saving roll for troops in cover makes sense - perhaps differing for soft and hard - although perhaps instead the hit roll could have a modifier applied depending on where the target is. The militia units in the pill boxes (which looked really good BTW)- if they are presumably 2nd line troops do you think they should be downgraded in any way? I really like the look of the game and must get some of those buildings!David Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.com
