NEW HEAVY WEAPONS TABLE

For those players that have not yet bought Upgrade Vehicle we thought weĠd include an intermediary table.
Seasoned players will have realised that it is difficult to destroy a tank. Analysing the original Damage Table you will note that it was designedso as to allow tanks to survive several hits.
The basic reason behind this choice was the desire to urge players to use infantry platoons supported by a single tank. In bigger battles than use more than two vehicles we advise the use of the following Table [.xls file, 12 k].
Your games will be much more lethal and bloody.
In the Supplement you will find gun calibres, the most common models and their variants with new detailed rules to allow you to play in a new way by using tank platoons split into sections. Finally you will be able to simulate more realistic and immediate tank battles.
The level of detail currently in the small arms table will be available for heavy weapons without complicating the game system.

Damage Key

You should add this to the normal results:
Test: being hit by a heavy weapon is both a moral and a physical shock. In game terms you must make a Morale Test even if no one dies.

When using the alternative Heavy Weapon Damage table you will notice that tanks explode easily and more frequently, and they will be abandoned with a failed test. If you consider the difficulty to hit them, this table seems more realistic. A shell that penetrates the armour will not only affect one crew member. As explained we decided to leave the tanks more "resistant" to help with the playability of the simulation. For the same reason guns, in the basic version, were only divided into three classes. Enjoy the game!
