Question on board NP3

 

开云体育

Hey Folks,

I was looking at board NP3 and has some questions on terrain features. Not sure if groups.io allows attachments but I'll try. :)

In hex V8 and W9 there is a contour.?? Is this a hill?? Y4, Y5, Z4 and FF6 is another example.

Possible hill

In hexes S3-S5 there is another contour with a greenish color. Is this a valley?

Possible valley

Thanks!

Hi Mike,
? ? ? I will take a look at this when I get out of work.

Hi Mike,
? ? ? ? ?Here is a terrain summary of this board. In fact of all three boards. Should square away all your questions. Please see below. Bruce, could we add the below to the Nor'Easter page right below the boards download?
Thanks,
Carl
Board NP3d: Ok, this board is not so standard.
Dark Brown Hexes such as G1 and H1 are Hillocks (F6.0).
?
Hexes such as B7 and D6 are Valley Hexes and while we did not in our two uses of the board, they could also be used by future designers as Deirs (F4.0). Hex O9 and J2 are not Gulley hexes, but Valley hexes with a Gulley leading from them over hexsides O9/N9 and O9/P8 and J2/I3 respectively.?
?
There are numerous Slope hexsides which are in play unless specified by SSR such as M7/M6 or O5/P5 (Page P1-P2 in KampfGruppe Peiper Rules section 2.0).
?
Hexes such as C3 and D2 are considered Brush.

?Board NP2: There is a new hexside terrain on this board that reflects wooden fences. An example of which are hexsides K5/L5, J5/K6. These are treated EXACTLY like Hedges except that the following also applies to them as noted in the scenario, Chances Are Slim. The -1 TEM for Airbursts
(B13.3) applies to all Direct Fire HE attacks vs. unarmored or CE targets that are claiming WA over a Wooden Fence hexside.
?
Other than this, the board is standard in every way.


Board NP1: The Streams running from Z0-Z10 and from A8-N9 are examples of Stream-Hex terrain as in the module KampfGruppe Peiper page P2, rules 4.1-4.13. Hexes O10 and P9 should be treated as Swamp. Hexside O10-N9 leads directly into the Stream-Kunai hex along the Depression hexside. All rules otherwise applying to Kunai/Jungle/Dense Jungle hexes apply normally, including limited stacking in a Dense Jungle hex. ?
There is a Ditch stretching from E4-K6, located in Kunai hexes. This Ditch is treated exactly as a Shellhole (B2.3-2.4). Also be aware of rule B9.33, last sentence given its close proximity to higher terrain.
There are also Paths through Kunai on this board and they function exactly like paths through any other terrain.?

What an awesome job Bruce, helps a lot for sure to clarify things, the only thing I still question is the 'ditch' being shellholes instead of a gully, sure looks like a gully and always played it that way including playtesting. Otherwise, great job at the website. Nor'easter Pack II looks like a real winner to me Carl, those boards and scenarios are indeed cool, Vic.

Hi Vic,
? ? ? Actually Tom and I had that as a ditch from jump street. Historically, and the map is a near historical layout of a French Indo-China battlefield, that was what it was. To keep the SSR'S minimized though, Tom decided to treat it functionally like Shellholes.?

In game terms, there was little difference.? Whereas trying to fit all the verbiage for Irrigation Ditches into an SSR was murder. Good call by Tom.

Will there be a small Terrain chart for these non-standard terrain types in the pack??

Might be a good idea to have one or a page or 2 of rules in the pack showing what Bruce did on the Yankee website, Vic.

Hi Mike,
? ? ? ? ?Here is a terrain summary of this board. In fact of all three boards. Should square away all your questions. Please see below. Bruce, could we add the below to the Nor'Easter page right below the boards download?
Thanks,
Carl
Board NP3d: Ok, this board is not so standard.
Dark Brown Hexes such as G1 and H1 are Hillocks (F6.0).
?
Hexes such as B7 and D6 are Valley Hexes and while we did not in our two uses of the board, they could also be used by future designers as Deirs (F4.0). Hex O9 and J2 are not Gulley hexes, but Valley hexes with a Gulley leading from them over hexsides O9/N9 and O9/P8 and J2/I3 respectively.?
?
There are numerous Slope hexsides which are in play unless specified by SSR such as M7/M6 or O5/P5 (Page P1-P2 in KampfGruppe Peiper Rules section 2.0).
?
Hexes such as C3 and D2 are considered Brush.
?
?Board NP2: There is a new hexside terrain on this board that reflects wooden fences. An example of which are hexsides K5/L5, J5/K6. These are treated EXACTLY like Hedges except that the following also applies to them as noted in the scenario, Chances Are Slim. The -1 TEM for Airbursts
(B13.3) applies to all Direct Fire HE attacks vs. unarmored or CE targets that are claiming WA over a Wooden Fence hexside.
?
Other than this, the board is standard in every way.
?
?
Board NP1: The Streams running from Z0-Z10 and from A8-N9 are examples of Stream-Hex terrain as in the module KampfGruppe Peiper page P2, rules 4.1-4.13. Hexes O10 and P9 should be treated as Swamp. Hexside O10-N9 leads directly into the Stream-Kunai hex along the Depression hexside. All rules otherwise applying to Kunai/Jungle/Dense Jungle hexes apply normally, including limited stacking in a Dense Jungle hex. ?
There is a Ditch stretching from E4-K6, located in Kunai hexes. This Ditch is treated exactly as a Shellhole (B2.3-2.4). Also be aware of rule B9.33, last sentence given its close proximity to higher terrain.
There are also Paths through Kunai on this board and they function exactly like paths through any other terrain.?

Subject: [yasl] Question on board NP3
Hey Folks,

I was looking at board NP3 and has some questions on terrain features. Not sure if groups.io allows attachments but I'll try. :)

In hex V8 and W9 there is a contour.?? Is this a hill?? Y4, Y5, Z4 and FF6 is another example.

Possible hill

In hexes S3-S5 there is another contour with a greenish color. Is this a valley?

Possible valley

Thanks!

Will there be a small Terrain chart for these non-standard terrain types in the pack??

Might be a good idea to have one or a page or 2 of rules in the pack showing what Bruce did on the Yankee website, Vic.

Hi Vic,
? ? ? Actually Tom and I had that as a ditch from jump street. Historically, and the map is a near historical layout of a French Indo-China battlefield, that was what it was. To keep the SSR'S minimized though, Tom decided to treat it functionally like Shellholes.?

In game terms, there was little difference.? Whereas trying to fit all the verbiage for Irrigation Ditches into an SSR was murder. Good call by Tom.

What an awesome job Bruce, helps a lot for sure to clarify things, the only thing I still question is the 'ditch' being shellholes instead of a gully, sure looks like a gully and always played it that way including playtesting. Otherwise, great job at the website. Nor'easter Pack II looks like a real winner to me Carl, those boards and scenarios are indeed cool, Vic.

All rules otherwise applying to Kunai/Jungle/Dense Jungle hexes apply normally, including limited stacking in a Dense Jungle hex. ?

There is a Ditch stretching from E4-K6, located in Kunai hexes. This Ditch is treated exactly as a Shellhole (B2.3-2.4). Also be aware of rule B9.33, last sentence given its close proximity to higher terrain.

There are also Paths through Kunai on this board and they function exactly like paths through any other terrain.?

Subject: [yasl] Question on board NP3

Hey Folks,

I was looking at board NP3 and has some questions on terrain features. Not sure if groups.io allows attachments but I'll try. :)

In hex V8 and W9 there is a contour.?? Is this a hill?? Y4, Y5, Z4 and FF6 is another example.



In hexes S3-S5 there is another contour with a greenish color. Is this a valley?



Thanks!

MikeS
