Project Middle-east: Humble Beginings of Team America

Normally we used Sabre Squadron for Cold War gone hot wargaming. And recently i aquired some US forces namely company of M1A2s, about company of M2 Bradleys.

Since we want to try something more modern in the middle east, and ordered some of last of GHQ Combat Commands (Israeli and Stryker coy) I decided to build up US Army Forces, based of Armored Cavalry.

To this moment i used for my 6mm gaming mostly Scottia and Heroics and Ros but for now i wanted to build whole force from GHQ, and so it begun.

These small buggers were very fun to paint and they will look awesome on table. looking forward to paint more but as we have 40k event iam organisator  i have not time but they time are yet to come.
M60s will be put into service of Imagination i had to yet develop

House rule Survivability

Since we started playing i have issue with one thing in Sabre Squadron, and according to forums i wasnt only one and that was survivability of AFVs since rounds starting firing especially with big cats (Abrams, T-80s ...) every shot is almost guaranteed kill.

And since the Nick author of game is in touch with community he developed solution for this problem and make game more enjoyble



Instead on rolling on Protection and Effects (8.4.4 page 52) roll on following table

1. After an AFV is hit, deduct the Protection from the Firepower.

2. Roll 1D10 and add the number from 1. above.

3. A result of 8+ = KO
6-7 = Neutralised (if 7 and VS roll for KO)
5 or less = Suppressed

this rule does increase survivability of armoured vehicles however there is still big chance that your tank will be destroyed if hit, so use hulldown positions where ever it is possible.

About hulldown positions and how to effectivly use them we will talk in future articles

Tally ho!
