A really stupid question about FoW

Or at least, I think it's stupid...


My brother and I eventually want to get started with FoW, and there are chances we get our cousin in as well. Now, my question revolves around army selection and the different periods.

I know if we want to play historically, we all just have to select units that would have fought against each other, from the same period, etc. etc.

But... at least in the beginning, all my brother an I really care about is pushing companies of troops around :smile:. I wanted either 3rd Canadian Division (though our cousin would likely select this army if he were to get involved) or Mid War Bersaglieri, while my brother wants a Late War SS panzer division or some Russians. Right. When it comes to some casual gaming, how well do different armies work against each other? Are there serious disadvantages when playing ally vs ally as opposed to ally vs axis? How about MW against LW? Would my mid war italians get seriously boned against everything from late war?

Cheers!

Re: A really stupid question about FoW

Well, after browsing the internet a while, I answered my own questions :beat:

Ahistorical gaming is Ok with most people. Also, MW-LW games, while they seem possible... would highly disadvantage any MW army, simply because tanks become cheaper in late war armies, and (effective) Anti tank is scarce in mid war. Mind you, maybe infantry vs infantry games would be quite fun? They don't change much from period to period, so one company, with a couple of modifications can easily be usd for both periods...
