Tank Charts

Recensione del Gioco di Guerra

Tank Charts was designed to allow players to see the defensive ed offensive capabilities of their veicoli without having to refer to long lists of soldatini. The angle on every piece of steel plate on each ed every vehicle has been used in determining what the actual effective armour is in each location of a unit. Each penetration has been checked e re-checked both con those authorities which have published to date e by comparison analysis of the raw physical data of each shell; its muzzle velocity, shell type, shell weight, e much more. Suffice it to say that the laws of physics have been applied a great deal to this set of rules and, not suprisingly, the written histories of the various battels tend to support these laws, as they should.

All the weapon e vehicle data the player will need is provided in a standard layout called the Tank Chart. Tank charts for nearly all the carri armati e guns of the seconda guerra mondiale are provided at the back of the book. The author intended each player to have a copy of the appropriate tank chart for each vehicle o weapon under his command during the game. In order to keep the price of this book within reasonable bounds, the charts have not been printed on separate cards. Therefore, the publisher grants permission to photocopy all the pages of tank charts. The chart for each weapon should be cut out e mounted on an index card, o laminated.

Opportunity fire allows a unit to fire at an oncoming vehicle prior to Fire Phase I, although a vehicle con a better fire factor may return fire while moving, before the effect of the opportunity fire is calculated. During anti-tank fire the Angle Determination Tool is used to find the strike angle e hit location of an anti-tank round. Vehicles in hull-down positions, e small targets like dug-in cannoni anticarro can be very difficult to hit con direct fire.

Penetration is Eliminiation

In Tank Charts games, veicoli are considered destroyed if the armour is penetrated, irrespective of the actual internal damage e crew morale effects resulting from a penetration. Other skirmish rules like Panzergranate provide an Internal Damage Table con pentration effects ranging from "no effect" to "main gun damaged" o "vehicle on fire, crew bails out". In Panzergranate, an AFV crew checks morale every time the vehicle is perforated by an anti-tank weapon, o if it is immobilized by damage o accident. AFV Crew Morale Test results may range from "carry on" to "fall back to nearest cover" o "abandon AFV, retreat on foot o surrender to nearest visible enemy".

The Tank Charts wargame consists of 28 pages of rules, e 32 pages of detailed tank ed aircraft charts covering equipaggiamento americano, britannico, francese, tedesco, ungherese, italiano, giapponese, polacco, e sovietico. Veicoli romeni like the Tacam T-60 tank-destroyer are not covered, but can be extrapolated from data covering the carro armato leggero T-60 sovietico, the superstructure of the German Panzerjäger Marder II, e the Soviet 76.2 mm L.54 ZIS-3 Anti-Tank Gun.
