In our house rules we let TAC bombers choose a target at -1 on the dice roll. He can chose to do so.

Cruisers defending can force their hit on an opponents aircraft (instead of, say, a hit on a battleship).

No.  Only in territories worth 3, can an IC be upgraded.

I got my ship confirmation and tracking.  :mrgreen:

Lucky indeed….thats is why I have never had this question before…sub always dies…

As soon as I have anything official, I’ll post it.

About an hour a turn (maybe less as the game develops) - at least 8-12 turns unless somebody completely botches it….and that is after a few games now…first game took like four hours to get through 2 turns…lots to learn…

Yes but i forgot about that so you would keep enough to rebuild it or enough to build 3 fighters which gives you two hits out of three.

If you rebuilt t what would you build?

3 figh 50 ipc
3 arm 38 ipc

Shouldn’t rebuild it

maybe

1 arm, 2 fig 26 ipc
11 def value so nearly two hits

And this is why the inane pacific half setup just causes issues in global.  Why wouldn’t the UK just send its crap into africa to force Italy to go stillborn.  At that point either Japan a) activates US early or b) UK has no consequences for doing it.

Now as far as US builds i’m uncertain on how they should go, but I can see absolutely no reason not to send the UK India fleet and planes into africa.

I mean, there are more planes in India than in England proper!  That makes no sense to me and I will revise the pacific setup when I play (-2 figs UK/ANZAC, -1/2 US, -6-8 Japan) or it’ll just drive me nutty.

And as far as Polar Express goes, its a bit more difficult for Japan to earn its income in this, and Russia/China can potentially become a huge PITA for Japan so i’m unsure on how that will play out.

@BadSpeller:

All powers may roll for technology. China will only benefit from advanced artillery, if they have it. If China acquires an AA gun then that would be 2 other techs, rockets and radar. It sucks that the research token way is gone. In global we buy research dice, meaning if you lose, your money is gone.

So it’s back to the Revised edition way?

that would definatly be inkeeping with battles like the battle of Midway where it was the very good fortune of the US navy to find the Japanese navy first.

I do mind these things, and will be posting on this soon.

Sierra Leone was an important Atlantic base for the UK, being it’s most westerly large colony in Africa.

However is does seem bizarre that warts like Rio de Oro and Portuguese Guinea are included while much larger and more important colonies have been left out.

well, then this will be my last post on the matter. What part of Saguenay. I go to Chicoutimi every month or 2, and having met some warhammer players there will likely be going once every month if I can for games, may be interested in aaa one day and then that the other if possible.

@buicksuper:

Anyways well find out tonight if u.s. will be speaking japanese or german.

Or Italian.  If that ever happened, Germany and Japan might never recover from the embarrassment.

bump

oh yeah thanks for the clarification Wild Bill I wasn’t sure what double sided meant.  CHL I still haven’t set the game up.  I only had time to look through the set and read the rules last night.

@CWO:

I’ll measure my MB board this evening

Here are the results.  The MB board is a single folding board made of three panels.  It measure 33 " x 19 1/2 ".

Japan SHOULD be able to go to war against the Soviet Union. That’s the nature of the game. It was also a serious option Japan considered for quite some time. Indeed, in the end they decided to go for the Southern option. It’s difficult to simulate both things in a game of the nature of A&A. One we want mutual attacks to be possible, Two neither of the two countries in question was eager to fight the other while already at war with Germany/Italy or the US/UK/France respectively…

Perhaps a negative NO would work or an IPC penalty (in the rulebook it’s explained that NOs represent a boost in morale and vigour (I suppose both in the military and as far as civilians/factory workers etc. are concerned). Hearing that your country is being attacked from both sides would probably have the opposite effect of an NO, so a negative one might work: -6 IPC if Japan is at war with the Western Allies and the USSR simultaneously and -6 if the USSR is at war with both Japan and Germany/ Italy. These negative SA’s only apply when you initiated the conflict with the Soviet Union or japan respectively. ( I agree the wording needs to be worked on, but I’m sure you get the idea). I’m certainly not for completely disallowing the possibility!

Epic

USSR/France/UK.
US/ANZAC/China
