Hi, now that the Basra book has been out a while, I was wondering what new units were it or whether there's a detailed review anywhere yet?

Checking in from a rare bar with good signal!
Duncan, there's a ton of new units in Basra. Some are very appropriate for the desert war in the region (KODAT troops and Arab Legion) others are pulpy goodness and occult nastiness for the different factions. Every faction currently in the game got some new in the Basra book. There is also the weird tank upgrades section and the additional desert tanks in the book check it out. We hope you like it.
Cheers,
Chris

I've just been given a load of DAK, Commandos and Airbourne, so with the DAK I've been eyeing the Basra book quite abit, and when I heard there were a few Brit units in it I thought great! Commando raids on secret Nazi bases in the desert.
I've been eyeing Weird WWII for a while, but only really just getting into it.

Do you need the occult book to make sense of the basra book?

Not really; there might a be a couple of skills that are in there that are explained in Occult (on some of the supernatural units), but I'm not sure, and people here would be happy to explain.
Regarding the DAK, I would make them Wehrmacht and simply give them all acclimated. Not "official," but it'd be a good representation.

I am now considering creating a Psionic Iosef Stalin II tank  But I am not sure what else to add into the detachment. Since it become a (heavy tank) regular psi unit, i need to take a Psi officer to 'unlock' it yes? I suppose i'd sacrifice a green to take the heavy tank then sacrifice another green to upgrade veteran slot to elite, leaving two regular slots- now i have an elite psi officer, i can take two psi units total yes? so I could take psi cannon troopers and soviet guard in the two reg slots- giving me a specialist psi officer, a regular troops soviet guard, a regular psi psi cannon team and a regular psi IS-2, making it a legal tank detachment? |

Yes. You may wish to take the Midnight Requisition Specialist hero-type or a Tank Mechanic to give yourself some upgrades in order to make it psionic.
