Hi to all
I played a few times with A&A, especially G40
I was recently thinking about the importance of generals in WWII, somehow inspiring and leading their troops, with some special abilities.
Therefore i thougt about the following:
The possibility to purchase generals, with certain abilities and giving extra advantage to some units, in certain scenarios.
Here the list
Germany
Rommel. Role / Army. Give extra power when linked to armors (+1) to one armor unit. The unit attack at 4, instead of 3.
The rule apply only if the general is linked to one specific armor. Only in North Africa or Russia
Goering. Role / Airforce. Give extra power when linked to bombers, either in SBR or combat. Give + 1 in attack, only to the one bomber to which is linked.
Apply only to UK, France and Russia
Italy
Graziani. Role / Army. Give extra power to armor attack, same like Rommel. Only apply in North Africa
Riccardi. Role / Navy. Give extra power to Battleship only, and only in mediterrenean sea (+1 for battelship)
AS ALTERNATIVE Valerio Borghese, linked to submarine. Give extra power for attack in mediterranean only, It would resemble the XMAS who caused a lot of trouble to UK in the period
Subs in mediterranean sea attack with 3
Russia
Zukhov; Vasililevskiy; Role / both Army. One to infantry, one to armor. Give + 1 when attaking with tanks, or +2 when attaking infantry, but only against Germans or Italians. No ability if used against Japan
Japan
Yamamoto. Role / Navy. Give extra power when linked to a battleship (same like Riccardi)
Kuribayashi. Role / Amry. Give extra power when linked to armor (+1); or infantry (+2)
Advantages apply only on pacific theater
USA
Patton. Role / Army. Give extra power to armor (+1), only in europe war
Nimitz. Role / Navy. Give extra movement (+1) to both planes on the Cruiser with which is paired. Apply only on pacific theater
MacArthur. Role / Army. Give extra power to armor or infantry (same like Kuribayashi). Can apply both pacific or europe
UK
Montgomery. Role / Army. Give extra power like MacArthur. Apply only in north Africa and Europe.
Mountbatten. Role / Navy. Give extra power to battleship, only on Euope map (i.e. atlantic and mediterranean)
France
De Gaulle. Role / Army. Give extra power to infantry only. Only apply to north africa, or after France is liberated, only in Europe and only against Germany
Cost for generals, 12 IPC (10 ???)
One general is linked to one unit only, and attack together with that unit.
When purchased, the general is linked to a unit on the map, related to his ability role (i.e. Navy, Army, Airforce)
If the unit is lost during the attack phase, the general is lost (dead).
If the the unit, paired with the general, is lost during defense phase, the general is captured, and “jailed” in the capital city of the enemy who won the battle.
The general can be freed if the capital city is conquered / liberated
Each general can be purchased only 1 time. Generals do not have any attack or defense power, nor movement allowance, but they get the movement, attack and defense value of the unit they are stacked to
