  • Welcome to another video and in this one we are taking a look at the new game published by @warlordgames - Achtung Panzer.
    WW2 is something that I dabble in but after reading the synopsis of the game and chatting about the game mechanics with them I was intrigued and wanted to give it a try.
    I have been sent the Rules, cards and tokens and 5 tanks (2 Panthers and 3 Sherman Easy Eights), everything you need to get going. We’ve painted the tanks, so today we have set up a small game on a 4 x 4 table, set in the winter of 1944, and we are going to roll through the game phases and give you our first impressions. I’m sure that we have made a few mistakes and of course as we are filming and learning at the same time so the initial turns may be a little slower than normal.
    Please do forgive the sniffing, my hay fever was playing up something rotten on the day we played

    So a mistake that we made multiple times, was that if the tank commander was "unbuttoned" then you could spot an enemy tank as a "free action", this is true, but the tank commander needs to pass a crew test first, similar to the driver's test for a free pivot action 👍

    Awesome video! Great set up too.
    Just some notes so far: the unbuttoned commander still has to pass a crew test to see if the spot becomes a free action. Also HE has a penetration value equal to the number in parentheses on the stat cards!

If Robin had cleared the house with an HE round before driving past it I wouldn't have been able to use it to launch a tank hunter attack.

    So question on the Driver crew test - you failed the first test but the rules you displayed said only that the failed test impacted spotting. Do you still complete the planned movement or do you stop at the terrain piece?

    • @7thson726
      @7thson726  25 일 전

      So that was a mistake, the failed test for crossing linear terrain does only mean you lose the spotting, we were reading the table from the Ambush terrain (which is the next one down) which then causes you to halt if you fail 👍

  • @holden88
    @holden88 28 일 전 +1

    The fail on the driver test doesn't say that you cannot then move through the terrain. It says you suffer a penalty to your gunner's targeting marker (at least that's what the rules box in your video said. Are you sure that failing a driver test prevents you from plowing through bushes and what not?.

    @Ziplomatic007 5 일 전 +1

    This seems like an ambitious game design. I applaud the designers for trying to add more granularity into tabletop tank combat. However, deciding what ammo to load or how fast to load it do not seem like interesting tactical choices in my book. The problem is, if you have one clear obvious move that benefits you, such as firing, you will never try anything else. This makes the game ultimately a die roll. A good design would implement two equally beneficial choices and make it a player dilemma which to choose. Also the entire "roll a d6 and consult this chart which can only support two modifiers" gets really stale after so many games. They are trying to solve the problem of how to make an engaging 28mm tank game and that's difficult because real tank warfare involves multiple platoons on a play field large enough to support true tactical maneuver which a gaming table does not do at this scale.

    A little too far with the micro management for me and way too many cards, chits & counters. Seems like a good game if you are willing to put the time into mastering it.
