I have noticed we have a tendency to have the buildings on a board around equal for both armies. When I say around I mean perfectly equal. In the center you have 2 large buildings and one medium. Sometimes 1 large (the center) and 2 medium buildings. In the right hand corner you have a medium building and on the left a large building. I don’t think we are alone. Here is the issue:
One of my rules is to always fill the battlegroups. A basic thing is to have some heavier groups and some with less power to activate. Those with less I have named “Dead battlegroups” and activating them is basically a “Dead activation”. I would like to shortly explain why they are extremely vital for a battleplan.
So I should perhaps follow all the other three and tell how it went in Stockholm Open. As you can understand, Jens came in first, Stefan (snolb) second and I third but could have won. If I hadn’t screwed up. While those other two are nice people telling fun facts abour their games I’m more into whining. Just remember I will come back one day.
So after Aarhus I have modified my list to a more standard tournament – swedish style tournament.
Dammit! I have forgotten to write a report and feedback on the Aarhus tournament! I’ll make sure to do that soon enough.
There are several important aspects of a successful tactic in DZC. Army building and balance within your force, consideration to the possible missions, usage of commanders and when to activate a unit last and enter enemy zone just to activate first next turn (next post, I think), to just name a few. Two of the most important is when to activate which battlegroup – I think many consider this one of the most important aspects of the game. I have absolutely lost several games because of this. But I think there is one more important aspect of DZC that will give you the win or your loss: When to enter with infantry into buildings.
So I need to test the app for the blog.
Tomorrow we aim towards denmark. Six hours drive to encourage the tournament there. My list included:
Hi, everybody! For this second part of my very short of run through of DZC’s missions I focus on the basic rulebook’s missions.
I was thinking about the missions in DZC Reconquest. Perhaps a small run through would be advisable? This is just a speed post where I quickly judge what I think about the missions.
I was thinking about a post at Hawk Wargame’s forum regarding a tactica about the Zhukov and one of the points many seem to do is that a unit with armour 10 will be very survivable – which I agree on but many consider it very good a combo with driving on the table. There I disagree.
