It sure does! Ed always has something clever up his sleeve. So will British tanks someday be included? For some weird reason, I have always wanted to command a Cromwell. |

If you want to play other fronts/years and have any other versions of NUTS you can lift the vehicle stats directly from those versions without change. Tim |

Here's a sample AAR using the rules. Hell Hath No Fury can be played with minis, paper minis or the counters that are included. Play it anyway you like. link
Yep Brits on the way, am working on a Russian front and Africa version as well. |
Ed the Two Hour Wargames guy | 25 Oct 2014 10:17 a.m. PST |
Sorry for such a big picture. |

Got my hard copy the other day. Nice book…spiral bound. Thanks Ed! Question; do the vehicle stats in Nuts v1 port over OK? I hope to play with 6mm soon….maybe changing inches to cm……? Dave |

@tberry- Thatīs great, I hadnīt thought of that! @Ed- Africa would be fantastic, I can fulfill my death wish in a Crusader! |
tberry7403 | 25 Oct 2014 10:48 a.m. PST |
@Ed- Africa would be fantastic, I can fulfill my death wish in a Crusader! I agree! If you have any particular development order I vote for doing Africa first. Tim |
Ed the Two Hour Wargames guy | 25 Oct 2014 11:14 a.m. PST |
Dave Not sure if the NUTS v1 stats are the same (probably not) but here's what you can do. Compare the stats of the same vehicle in HHNF and NUTS v1 and adjust the ones in v1 to fit. 6mm should be fine with the scale conversion you're talking about. Okay 2 to 1 Africa versus eastern Front. |
Joes Shop | 25 Oct 2014 11:42 a.m. PST |
Another vote for N. Africa! |
tberry7403 | 25 Oct 2014 11:49 a.m. PST |
Logic (as if that matters ) for Africa: There is already a "NUTS" version of the Russian Front (and the Pacific for that matter). There is no "NUTS" version of Africa. |
Ed the Two Hour Wargames guy | 25 Oct 2014 12:16 p.m. PST |
tberry7403 – True, and that's in the works as well. |
Mako11 | 25 Oct 2014 1:27 p.m. PST |
Sounds neat. I suspect there'll be a clamor for a lot more vehicle stats, including those of assault guns and tank destroyers too (e.g. the kind with fixed guns in their hulls, as well as turreted types). |

The hardcopy version includes a one page card stock sheet of tank counters. Germans include late model IIIs and IVs, Tiger Is and IIs, Panthers and latemodel STuG IIIs. Americans have M5s, M4 -A1s, M4-A3-E8s, M-10s and M-18s. The counters are typical "board game" style with stats for AP rating, road/cross-country movement, armor rating front/side/rear and a silhouette of the vehicle. |

Whats the scale? Can someone give an example as to which miniatures I can pick up? 8) |

Like its big brother "NUTS" it is designed for 15mm but can be played in almost any scale. For just tanks I prefer 1/300 (1/285 or 6mm). You are commanding anything from a single tank to a company. Around 17 vehicles at most. |
tberry7403 | 25 Oct 2014 3:30 p.m. PST |
And remember, when you order the hardcopy you get the PDF for free! |
Ed the Two Hour Wargames guy | 25 Oct 2014 4:28 p.m. PST |
PapaSync – You can use any size minis. I use 15mm, some 6mm and even some counters. The recommended table size is 3' x 3' for 15mm but you can use larger or smaller. I've been using the counters on a board game map, just halving the distances to fit the board. |

Ed is one clever businessman: high quality products, occasionally offering free stuff to get us hooked on what he is peddling (and he shouts it to the world that it is free!). He is like a crack dealer! Gets us hooked with free goodies, then we gleefully and willfully start throwing money at his awesome, innovative, and fun rulesets. He is a genius at getting a cheap, tightwad bastard like myself to part with my hard-earned money! I want to say, "Stop it, ED!", but I just can't. Somebody, please stop me. I am reaching for my wallet and credit card, and will be navigating to the THW website and the wife says I can have an early Christmas present! Ed, you are doing it again… - Scott |
Ed the Two Hour Wargames guy | 25 Oct 2014 6:15 p.m. PST |
Hey Scott, Good to hear from you. Just a carry over from my catering days, man. Going to make it to Enfilade next year, one of the best conventions in the country.See you there! Here's an AAR of the 1st Mission. link |
Joes Shop | 26 Oct 2014 12:52 p.m. PST |
Well I'm convinced: just ordered the print/pdf version. |
companycmd | 26 Oct 2014 3:38 p.m. PST |
Tank vs. Tank in 1939 would be best. |
VicCina | 26 Oct 2014 4:15 p.m. PST |
Africa would be a great next supplement. |
tberry7403 | 26 Oct 2014 5:03 p.m. PST |
As I said before: I would like to see North Africa as the next supplement. That beginning said… The Russian Front will probably be next. Why? Because all the heavy lifting has already been done in the form of "NUTS: Clash of the Titans". He just needs to pull out the existing stats, do some scenarios and Russian Front oriented charts. North Africa will require research into vehicle types available and then stat them up. But whichever is next I will buy it! Tim |
Ed the Two Hour Wargames guy | 26 Oct 2014 6:13 p.m. PST |
I would rather do one book with Eastern Front, North Africa, Pacific, Poland 39, and France 1940 with 15 – 20 scenarios, some being for specific theaters, instead of individual books. |
tberry7403 | 26 Oct 2014 6:27 p.m. PST |
Sounds good to me. Put me down for a copy. |
