The Tanklord Posted January 24, 2001 Share Posted January 24, 2001 Im assuming that means no thanks with bigger guns than 76mm, is that a correct assesment? Im readning the "Close Terrain Defense After Action Report" with Fionn Kelly vs "Claymore" and came across "Rule of 76s". Is this a tank only limitation (assuming Im correct in the first place). Wouldnt be any fun if I dominated my first battle just to find out I "cheated" . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rule of 76s / 75s was more designed to assure games did not devolve into a slugging match of heavies, and to keep some variety in the game. If you do a search you will find two or three good threads on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Heidman Posted January 24, 2001 Share Posted January 24, 2001 The rule is pretty specifc. I would go the rugged defense sight, I think they have it posted there. Note that the rule also excludes some vehicles with guns smaller than 76mm because of their armor. IIRC, the rule only applies to vehicles, AT guns are ok.

PS -- If your opponent wanted to play rule of 76s or long 76s, it was up to him / her to inform you and get the facts straight. Thing is, both produce even games, as does the game without it. They were not meant for balance, but variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tanklord Posted January 25, 2001 Author Share Posted January 25, 2001 Thanks for clarifying it. I assumed it was for balancing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
