Yesterday, Doug Wright & I had our first game of Seven Days to the River Rhine. It was a cracking game, we both really enjoyed it and are looking forward to playing many more games with this great set of rules. I've added a battle report with loads more photos on my hobby blog @ Both Doug and I had played 1980's Cold War games before using Cold War Commander, WRG and Cold War Commander rules among others so we had the miniatures and the terrain all ready to go. Seven Days to the River Rhine (7DTRR) is a battlegroup level set of rules. A model vehicle represents a single vehicle and a stand of infantry represents a section of infantry or a support weapon such as Milan or a Mortar.We played using 6mm miniatures, I think they are from Heroics & Ross, from several decades ago. We played on a 6' x 6' gaming area. I like 6mm scale for Cold War gaming as I feel it gives a good representation of troop density and ranges.I've added a battle report with loads more photos on my hobby blog @ http://wargamesbuildings.co.uk/Hobby-Blog/Seven-Days-to-the-River-Rhine-a-first-game
It would be polite to answer , since we bothered to comment .
Hi Lysandros,Very sorry, I did not mean to appear impolite by not replying straight away. I had a day away from the computer yesterday doing some proof reading, so have only just seen your comment from yesterday.I have not played Iron Cross, so not sure how they compare, however in 7 Days to The River Rhine firing seemed straight forward. Each unit has a fire factor that reflects there training. This could be '5+' for example. Tactical modifiers are added to this for things like moving and shooting. You then have to roll above this on a D10 to hit. If you hit you check to see if you have penetrated armor by rolling a D10 and adding the penetration value of your weapon. This is compared to armor of target.
Maybe you shouldn't "bother" commenting if you think a day of not replying is someone being impolite.
l find your tone rather juvenile and rude . Please do not engage with me again.Good day .
