STUKAS AND BLITZING

 

Today we played a 1940 Many Rivers to Cross PSC game in which the German player used the Stuka attack support option, won the scenario and then chose to Blitzkrieg to the next table in the same campaign turn. Are we correct that he can carry the Stuka support into the next game since, according to the Blitzkrieg rule, the German player moves to the next table with the same Platoon (less casualties) and surviving supports?

I see that there is a thread about this in the forum from last fall, but no clear consensus Seems to have been reached. Is there still a way to bump this up to Rich and Nick for a definitive answer?

Hi Byron,

I'm afraid I can't answer the question but I will flag this up to Rich today for you. He is, however, on a short break so may not come right back on this.

Kind regards,

Richard aka Monty Lardo

The answer must be no! The Blitzkrieg rule allows you to continue the attack in the same Campaign turn with whatever troops and supports were survived or were unused from the first encounter.

A Stuka attack once used cannot be used again for two campaign turns as they then return to base to re-arm and re-fuel. As they've already been used this turn they are now back at base refuelling and rearming so are not available again until Campaign Turn 4. The same would apply if for example a shabby Nazi Trick had been chosen for Turn 1 and used on the first table. So yes they carry over surviving supports but not "one shot" options that have already been used!

Spoke to Rich tonight. He has confirmed that as the Stuka's have been used in this campaign turn they are not available during a Blitzkrieg advance. Same with any other expended tricks which have been used such as Jean Claude or nuns with guns!
