Anemic Replacements

Post by Icedawg »

I am playing as the Germans in the Wacht Am Rhein scenario. I played a Replacements card on the first turn and was bummed by the pitiful amount of troops I got for it.

Is it really worth 5 PP to play the card to get 30 or 40 volksgrenadiers and a couple of tanks?

For a front that covered 75 miles and involved an army of around 400-500K troops, I'd think that you should get a lot more than that. Any thoughts?

It's not worth it.
I play my version of the game (edit of official version) so I can get more of it ;-)
Officially they say - it' more historical to have so little, but I don't like it "historical".
There is no such thing as a historically accurate strategy game. Every game stops being historically accurate from the very first move player do. First unit that moves ahistorically, first battle with non-historical results, mean we ride in unknown.

Editing replacements table is VERY easy.
Just try it.
Reinforcements are little harder.
Editing PP and cards is also doable.

Yes sir I can figure out how to massage the replacement rates of what units are listed , but if a unit, say 120mm mortars isnt listed there is no way to adjust that..unless you can share how I can import that unit type into the table?
