Profile of Abraham Lincoln

It doubles their health from 40hp/model to 80hp/model.

Ah , cool. Thanks. I've been having fun trying to get this commander to work but getting absolutely wrecked in the process. I *did* manage to kill a Tiger with partisans the other day. That was worth the price of admission.

On a side note, I shaved my presidential beard off. Now I look like a bum and no one recognizes me anymore. Gonna be a lot harder to get babes.

Hey all, do we know what training does for partisans exactly ? I'd definitely like to see the mechanics for it.

Bolt Action has a warhammer scale sized rule set , it's nicely done , basically WWII version of 40k. Warlord Games has minis, so does black tree design.

Hot dang.

It seems like I must be playing a different game than some of you. When the Germans fire off a rifle grenade the first time, it normally kills about 2-3 dudes of my weapon crew. If it happens to be a wounded crew, or one with 3-4 guys a rifle grenade is liable to straight up disappear the crew. It happens a lot. Rifle grenades are crazy dangerous.

Yea, it's a fun commander. Pretty useful. The way I see it there are some highs and lows;

+ Mark Target. So damn good. Means your T34s can actually trade blows with a P4
+ Partisans can instantly react to rogue pioneers or support weapons. Support weapons near houses need to be careful
+ Partisan tank hunters can stop enemy vehicles from limping away. I've even had unwary opponents lose scout cars by simply putting them in a corner of the map while they payed attention to an ongoing fight somewhere else. Two shots later , kaput vehicle.
+ Partisan surveillance. Again, so damn good. Amazing even. Shows you every enemy on the mini map. I've stopped a few surprise attacks this way, as well as caught some unsupported Paks. I've actually won a few games after surveillance revealed how bad off my opponents were which lead to me playing much more aggressively than I normally would. Which leads me to.....

- Partisans are weak. Really weak. They need cover or a building to stick in any protracted fight. Grenades instant kill entire squads. They often die on retreat. Even vetted up they literally melt away.
- Partsians drop GOOD weapons right in front of Germans often. They do it a lot. Shrecks....LMGS. Instantly turns their killers into badasses. I face palm everytime it happens.
- The entire commander is munitions heavy. Plan accordingly.
- Has no hard counter for elite troops. PzGrens and Assgrens roflstomp you.

Would love to hear others opinions.
