This is a custom card designed for my Strike North Campaign Scenario which I will be GMing during the upcoming MaizeCon in Waterloo, IA happening in October 2018. There are plenty of card designs already out there by such esteemed individuals as Sharpe, Thor711 and ObstbfEgon. I used them as starting points for my own versions. Some have been left entirely intact and others I have modified to my own purposes.
Looking for feedback. What do you think? Is it balanced in terms of cost? Any concerns or questions?
This German card was previously designed for my Crete / Pyrrhic Victory scenario. It has been updated for use in Strike North. The Sweat saves Blood Special Ability has been modified from giving troops +1 speed to +1 on movement rolls. This was done because of the new Ski Capable SA. Troops with that SA get speed 2 in snow. With the old Sweat saves Blood SA they would have a speed of 3 which I don't think is good. I decided that +1 on movement rolls is much better since my Norwegian Campaign will feature a lot of mountain terrain. Combined with the Mountaineering SA, the Sweat Saves Blood SA will give troops a +2 on movement rolls. Basically they would only fail on a roll of 1.
The previous version of this unit card had Close Assault 5. I dropped that and substituted the brand new Ski Capable SA. This will allow this commander to keep up with the Gebirgsjagers as they ski across snow.
Heersbergführer
Nationality: Germany
Soldier - Commander
Year available: 1939
Cost: 10
Speed: 1
Defense: 4/4
AI: 9/6/-
AV: 2/-/-
Disciplined - While this unit has cover it gets +1/+1 defense.
Mountaineering - This unit gets +1 on movement rolls.
Ski Capable - In your movement phase, this unit gets +1 speed if the first hex it enters is a snow hex. A successful movement roll is required. (SA reworded)
Limited Range 2 - This unit can attack soldiers only at ranges of 2 or less.
Commander Abilities: Initiative +2
Sweat saves blood! - In your movement phase, friendly non-Artillery Soldiers that start their move adjacent to this unit gets +1 on movement rolls.
Many officers of the Gebirgstruppen were also highly qualified mountaineers. Leaders who earned the Heeresbergführer badge were greatly respected by their soldiers.
