I've been continuing to refine both the German listing and US listings. It is my intention to do the Brits and Soviets, but just haven't gotten round to it.<br /><br />What I have been doing is playing 5 games over the last 3 months. One was a scenario which ran for friends as a Zoom game over two nights. The other games I have run over WhatsApp by taking photographs as the game progressed. I have really enjoyed playing those and might Blog about it. The whole fog of war thing really comes into play for both sides. The rules are slightly modified to speed play up.<br /><br />My group of friends has been played quite a bit of it recently with me so are going to take a break from it. I am thinking of running another game though... If would like to participate let me know by posting here and we can arrange to correspond by email.

I realize you guys took a “breather” from WaT! back in 2018, so I suspect we may never see any additional work on “HardcoreWaT!,” but, as with unknown above, it doesn’t hurt to ask. 🙂<br /><br />DaveLDaveLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05938317913151378313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5841828701808552173.post-19030922134593722542021-03-25T19:37:49.380+00:002021-03-25T19:37:49.380+00:00Very interesting material, makes the game more tac...Very interesting material, makes the game more tactical and "realistic". Did you finish them? I see this is a 2018 WIP and I can find no new posts that continues what you started here.Alex Carranzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00725577070334806983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5841828701808552173.post-49725307654286272722019-10-24T04:27:40.274+01:002019-10-24T04:27:40.274+01:00Excellent additions to the WAT tables.

With such an encouraging start, it would be a shame to see this isightful project die out.<br /><br />Do you have any idea if and when you will have any new material?Somboedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14425824487327033763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5841828701808552173.post-40671630268250828522018-12-31T14:20:11.032+00:002018-12-31T14:20:11.032+00:00DaveL

I'll sort the vehicles, then have at go that them. Agree with a lot of what you say, they should have a higher Rate Of Fire as well. I'll need to consider the HE content of the Tank shells, so I'll have to add some factor on that, as well as some damage chart for AT guns.<br />:) Vulturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00759930564552310327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5841828701808552173.post-75110770556545819982018-04-27T23:41:26.665+01:002018-04-27T23:41:26.665+01:00A good start.

Now here is the complicated part. Tanks shooting at them with AP do minimal damage, but have to switch to HE to do significant damage. They should be easy to destroy with HE rounds. They start hidden until they fire. <br />Imagine the tension as tanks frantically try to acquire them as targets and switch over to HE to take them out.
