AE-WWII European Theater Stat Cards

[CmdrKiley]

I've updated the stat cards for the new AE-WWII European Theater. I've posted them up on the AE-WWII Facebook page. However, I know some of the players in this group aren't on Facebook, so I'd like to post them up hear for MAOW members.

However the current max file size is 1024 kb. All of the PDF documents I've made are larger than this. Is it possible to increase this amount? I think the largest file (Germans) is about 5400 kb. I can probably take some of the larger files and break them into 2 files if need be.

You could also setup dropbox/google drive/ or sky drive with a shared folder and put the files there and put the link here. This has the added benefit that when you update the files online it will put out a email that they a file has been added/updated

AE-WWII European Theater Edition Stat Cards

Without the new book, what am I missing out on?

[CmdrKiley]

There has been some rules revisions.

The European Theater Edition includes material from the Core Rulebook and the Occult Sourcebook, nothing from OTW, or Basra 1946.

Overall I agree with most of the core rule changes. I'm disappointed that much of the OTW and even some of the Basra material didn't make into the new addition.

Significant rule changes.

- Figures no longer have facing, no backstrike bonuses.
- Individual models can no longer join squads.
- Weapon Teams allow loaders to replace gunner as long as they're within range. Thus you shouldn't be able to easily eliminate a Support Weapon by simply sniping the gunner.
- High ROF weapons can walk fire into nearby targets.
- Deviation rules for Indirect Fire attacks have been simplified
- Focused attack has been dropped.
- Mounted units cannot dismount.
- Vehicle crews can no longer dismount and are eliminated with the vehicle. Simplifies the vehicles and they are no longer a disposable transport for a squad of submachine gun equipped troops.
- Vehicles are purchased as a Regular selection in a Detachment
- Each detachment has a limitation on how many trade-outs you can make.
- Americans and British cannot be mixed with Soviets as Allies (I think, I need to confirm that)
- Revisions to lists of Special Orders for each detachment
- Some revisions to some of the Special Orders
- Some revisions to the Hero Templates (One Man Army got Nerfed, a few others got more bonuses)
- Some general clarifications to rules (i.e. Unintelligent models cannot be used as a Spotter for Indirect Fire, Unliving models cannot be affected by Mental attacks, that sort of stuff).

Some unit tweaks
- Green units no longer given the option to use 1:2 ROF weapons (Volksgrenadiers, formerly Volksturm have only GEW43s, no Kar98s).
- American units with a choice of Thompson SMG or M1 Carbine (same range and damage but the Thompson has a ROF of 3:1 and the carbine 2:1) are now given choice of Thompson SMG or M1 Garand.
- ARPA Mechanic totally revamped with a choice of gear selection
- SD Mad Doktor has been merged with SD Field Doktor and given a selection of gear and serums to use.
- SS Krieghexe and Vril Engineer now unlock more weird units.
- Most Command Vehicles no longer have Vehicle Commander
- Several new vehicles, including a Weird Vehicle for each faction

Because they were OTW material you will not see the following:
- Panzerfaust options for Germans
- Medics or Combat Engineers
- Motorcycles
- Minefields, Molotov Cocktails (there goes my cure for Lycanthropes), Shaped Charges, Rifle Grenades, and Anti-Tank Grenades
- No British troops, just the units that came in the Occult Sourcebook. So unless you play an Occult Detachment, theBritish must be Allies to the Americans in order have enough Infantry or Support models to play them.
- Obviously, no Japanese (it wouldn't be called European Theater then would it).


Overall, I agree with the changes and welcome most of them (particularly the Weapon Team rule and the Vehicle rules). I will miss the model facing rule and backstrike rules and I'm really disappointed the British Army and Paratroops didn't make it into the book. Although the new book looks great, I'm disappointed with "Mongoose" level editing errors. I've been working with Matt Hope to get as many of these fixed and officially posted in the Errata. These stat cards currently represent the latest level of Errata.
