I felt pretty comfortable with how I handled the Matilda II; you could argue that a 1 in 6 chance of immobilizing it from the front is high, but that is merely an issue of using a D6-based system.<br /><br />But yeah, I probably was too easy on the Germans in terms of the Matilda Is, which were both knocked out at battle range from the front by 37mm fire...<br /><br />V/R,<br />Jack<br />Just Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03552962741823929433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328749298871119665.post-51766792197754212622020-04-21T07:00:30.825-07:002020-04-21T07:00:30.825-07:00I agree with Steve, too!

Here's how I played it (from above): <br />"For you 5Core fans out there, I've changed up how I do things. I've got Pz IIIs going against Cruisers and Matilda IIs; the only way they can penetrate those British tanks is to get on their flanks at close range, but the British tanks can still be immobilized and/or have their morale affected. So I'm rolling 1K 1S, with Shock dice behaving as normal, but the Kill dice only working on a '1.' A '6' would be a kill, but the panzers can't kill them, so I'm only using the '1,' which is signifying a shot that immobilizes the British tank, which makes it pretty tough. To wit, Sgt Jurgens just rolled a '6' on his Kill dice, but it counts as a miss."<br /><br />So the Germans couldn't defeat the Matilda II from the front, they had to get to the flank AND get to close range to penetrate it, and that's what they did, with three of them getting on the flank and firing from about 75 yards away.<br /><br />V/R,<br />Jack<br />Just Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03552962741823929433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328749298871119665.post-18369521262400229322020-04-21T01:40:05.497-07:002020-04-21T01:40:05.497-07:00Agree with Steve, tildas were beasts...

From memory the Matilda II was impervious to shots from 37mm and 47mm ATG from the front, requiring the 88 to take them out.
