Hello,
Do you know when the Where Eagles Dare could be available?

Landing Table

feeds@yuku.com (EdouardK) — Wed, 07 May 2008 13:41:59 GMT

What is the meaning of the results between parenthesis on the landing table ?
(for instance : with a modified roll of 10 one obtains 1(L) for paratroopers - what does it mean ?)

Thanks in advance

The Club route

feeds@yuku.com (EdouardK) — Wed, 07 May 2008 13:38:31 GMT

Just a question : the terrain cost for moving in column on the Club route is really 4 per hex as indicated on the TEC for wheeled or tracked units ?

That is a unit with 13 movement allowance (as GrenGds) just moves 3 hex per activation on the Club route and need something like 15 activations to reach Nijmegen ?

It is then impossible to launch an attack before night on september 19th with the Guards Grenadier against the Nijmegen bridge as they have done historically with...

errata

Thanks for keeping the errata up to date on the web site, and not to be too lazy, but could the newest entry be highlighted?

Dispatch Points

feeds@yuku.com (castigator1) — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 11:32:01 GMT

So, I guess if you have a low Dispatch Rating it's a good idea to build up your supply of DP's to at least 4-5 (if you can afford it) to increase the likelihood of gaining more DP's?

Empire Strikes Back AAR

feeds@yuku.com (castigator1) — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 01:56:32 GMT

My gaming buddy and I got together yesterday and played this Intermediate scenario. I played as the Germans and Greg was the 82nd Airborne. Greg deployed his independent AT gun, road blocks and artillery close to the entrance hex for my main kampfgruppes and really gave me a hard time of it. The direct fire zones of these units meant that I was only able to move using Formation Chits or command points. In the south, my weaker kampfgruppe struggled to push toward Mook before...

TDC at Comsim Word Expo

feeds@yuku.com (thisispainful) — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 06:19:38 GMT

There are a whopping 13 people signed up for TDC right now.

Unless Adam or Nick have other advice, it would seem the best break down for a mutli-player game is four. Pat Mulvihill and I are looking for two more players (baring advice from Adam and Nick in which we will be glad to add more) to claim a table and start planning for a campaign game.

We can pick sides and divide up forces ahead of...

flack units

feeds@yuku.com (rez667) — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 07:47:04 GMT

Are all flack units considered out of command if not in range of a leader from their division when making a TQC for opportunity fire?

Opportunity Fire

feeds@yuku.com (MCollins58) — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 14:04:14 GMT

If an Active unit moves adjacent to an enemy infantry unit and stops (no assault intended), does the Non- Active unit get to use Opportunity Fire at two hexes with the -1 Range Modifier?

Vassal question

feeds@yuku.com (castigator1) — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 19:50:15 GMT

Is anyone else having trouble loading the vassal extensions for TDC? I was able to load the mod with the intro scenario, but it won't load or list the mdx scenarios as options.

Thanks!

Labels?

feeds@yuku.com (jimdunnam) — Wed, 10 May 1939 12:08:00 GMT

What specific labels are recommended for the Counter Tray Labels in the Downloads section?

Hi all

feeds@yuku.com (jnewell68) — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 13:08:35 GMT

Okay, so here we are. On day 1, I would like to play either: A Victory Lost or START a campaign game that someone will take over from me the rest of the days.

Who is interested in the either of those?

Jeff

Hello everybody

feeds@yuku.com (nomnomnom) — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 12:43:02 GMT

Hello again. I sent the initial email. Thanks for setting this up.
It sounds like everyone is excited already.

I'll be there Tues evening into Sunday. I'd like to play TDC for about half of it. If I love it (don't have it yet!) I might play longer.

Independent units

feeds@yuku.com (Georgii2222) — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 09:39:35 GMT

Who activates independent units (i.e., Leichte Flak, etc.)? Is it any formation that the unit would be 'in-command' from? Only divisional activations? I can't seem to find it in the rulebook, although I *SWEAR* I've seen it.

TIA

Assaults

feeds@yuku.com (Georgii2222) — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 21:33:32 GMT

Kinda confused by the assault rules. Upon a reading of th rules, if a unit charges, it looks like immobile units are destroyed. On the flowchart that's provided on this site, though, I didn't see any mention of it. Is that only if they're running away?

Also, what is 'immobile' defined as? A unit with no movement allowance?

Thanks,

Jeff Ital

Opportunity fire; Raised roads/RRs

feeds@yuku.com (Georgii2222) — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 20:32:00 GMT

Couple o' questions.

First, if a unit fails its TQC on an attempted op fire, is it done for the turn, or can it continue to take TQCs? I assume it can continue to take them but wanted to make sure.

Second, if I'm reading the Raised road/RR exclusive rules correctly, a vehicle unit can *never* enter a raised road/RR hex unless entering from a connected road/RR or raised road/RR... is that right? Further, I gather that the opposite holds true. If a vehicle unit is on...

Book Recommendation

feeds@yuku.com (Griffitz62) — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 19:18:40 GMT

I finally finished reading through the last of the great manuals that come with this game and something occured to me that I wanted to share.

About three years ago I was waiting for a plane in Dallas, Texas and went to the bookstore in the terminal. Sitting outside was an old man signing a book he had written. The book is "All the way to Berlin", by James Megellas. He was a platoon leader in H company, 504 PIR, 82nd Division. He signed the book for me, I read it,...

New Owner Question

feeds@yuku.com (Griffitz62) — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 09:00:22 GMT

I finally got this game the other day after almost three years since pre-ordering. I have to say that it was worth the wait! I just finished reading the rules, and I was wondering if there was an example of pay out there that I could download? It would really help to get a feel for the flow of the game.

More downloads

feeds@yuku.com (nrichard9) — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 12:50:50 GMT

New downloads have been added to the TDC website. Drop schedules for the 1st AB and 82nd AB, which will be useful for those playing the campaign game.

Errata 3/14/08

feeds@yuku.com (nrichard9) — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 02:24:57 GMT

One error spotted, and corrected. In the "A Bridge Too Far" scenario, remove reference to the German Unit "Orpo./KG Knaust" from the German Set-up.
