I was rooting for you the whole time. π<br />I donβt know if Ruse is overwhelming, it sounds more like you had hot die rolls when you needed them most and poor Dave had bad rolls at the worse moments. Such is wargaming. And kinda like last game; while this might of been a short game of it were stand alone; as part of the narrative campaign it just builds momentum and story. πStewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340930167419307092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861229654080360536.post-41650864482468688122018-11-13T11:45:21.381+11:002018-11-13T11:45:21.381+11:00Not a bad point but with only a 33% chance of bein...Not a bad point but with only a 33% chance of being effective I don't think it would be a worthwhile support choice. I have mixed thoughts on its usefulness at the best of times. What happened here was certainly well against the odds. Not sure the barrage is supposed to represent much more than regimental or battalion assets and while you are right to point out the lack of Japanese artillery, there was most likely enough at regimental level to cause a disruptive barrage like that represented in CoC. Our thinking is that with any support that is almost an automatic choice because of its effectiveness is most likely too cheap to call on. The Ruse is guaranteed to work every time for only two support points and has the potential to be a game changer. For the same support cost a barrage has a 50/50 chance of working and even that assumes the turn doesn't end prematurely. I'd be inclined to look at changing the Ruse rather than the barrage.

On e possible way to balance the ruse might be to make the Japanese pre-game barrage less effective due to the lack of heavier artillery in the Japanese divisional organization which was one reaosn for the emphasis on the integral knee mortars and the emphasis on maneuver and surprise (e.g. what the ruse represents). Maybe have a pre-game barrage for the Japanese be only 33% effective ins topping deployment instead of 50%.Chris Burrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07006977565794265038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861229654080360536.post-63036701725157924872018-11-10T16:53:35.393+11:002018-11-10T16:53:35.393+11:00The grey ones used in this game belong to my oppon...The grey ones used in this game belong to my opponent Dave, I'm pretty sure he got these from Olympian Games.The Tactical Painterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04980190745315043364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861229654080360536.post-88966787617804314082018-11-09T17:38:29.480+11:002018-11-09T17:38:29.480+11:00Sorry if this has been asked elsewhere but where d...Sorry if this has been asked elsewhere but where did you get those MDF markers made?Iain Fullerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07575784627771286473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861229654080360536.post-63610009109495363012018-11-08T20:14:35.845+11:002018-11-08T20:14:35.845+11:00Despite mo bloodshed, this was enthralling.
