I wouldn’t go to house rules as an option. Its a tough time for the allies, but you have to counter. If they build carriers, try building a bunch of subs. Their cheap to take hits, almost 3 to 1 cost of a carrier to dodge bullets. If you attack chances are you can ding the carriers and take out DD’s, and your allies can finish the job before Jap can fix them. Try to set up 3 fleets, all similar so if they attack one, you can counter a weakened Jap fleet with the other 2 before they repair. As for the Asian ground battle 3 IC would be tough. I’ve seen 2 and that was a bitch. It is easier for the UK if Jap has air, because its hard for them to protect newly taken tt. If they are dropping that much $ in tanks though ($6 a pop) like $40-$50 ipc they can’t be putting to many DD’ or other cheap ships into their navy making it more vulnerable IMO.
Airbases & navy bases?

:lol: well alright man thanks for all your help, but do you happen to know what the cost of a stratigic bomber will be along with its attack and defense?
-
Opps I’ve seem to have answered my own question. Tac-Bombers will have an IPC cost of 11, attack 3 and defense of 3. With a movement of 4. Correct me if I am wrong but when combined with armor units’ attack increses to 4.

Thanks Krieg +1

You’re not wrong. They also get this bonus when paired with a fighter.

Krieg could you clarify what stat bombers will be able to do.
I would think they will SBR as always (with escorts).
I would think they will be allowed to attack ground units.
Will they be able to attack sea units. -
Back on subject, Will it be possible damage bases by using a system similar to SBR’s? Also will it be possible for the owner to sabotage their bases to prevent the enemy from using it in the event of it’s capture?

Will they be able to attack sea units.They aren’t changing. They still have the same capabilities as before.

Yes, and no.

Okay you stated that baases can be damaged? How does this affect them? Can they be repaired? and how? Can they be completely destroyed?
-
Lol a can of worms has been opened.

I guess you have some fish bait.

I can’t get too specific just yet. :-(

Krieghund, thank you for all your efforts.
I may be new here but I’ve been reading these boards for about a year or so now. I appreciate your hands are tied but do you know if WOTC will release any kind of weekly previews for the upcoming AAP40 game, like they did with Revised?
Many thanks again to you.
-
I wouldn’t count on it. I think that their allowing Larry and me to release some information about the game in advance is going to be the extent of their pre-release marketing campaign.

@Brain:
Are there going to be game pieces for air/naval bases like their are for factories?
Yes.
I remember reading this and getting all excited only to get the big let down when I found out that they were cardboard pieces. When I said “like their are for factories”, I meant the factories that were provided in all of the previous games, not the cardboard crap they sold to all us unknowing pre-paid customers.

I believe it was, “Take your paws off me you damn dirty ape.”

Ah, have not seen it in a while, nice catch.

I think that back when that film was made, it was pretty risque to say damn in a movie. It definitely would not have the same impact today.
Anyways to get back on subject. I am glad that FMG is making plastic air and navy base pieces.
