If you move 2/3 through original territory, does that count to a nearby enemy territory? For instance, if I take an army from Vienna, can I move it 2 to attack Poland or am I forced to wait in Galacia?
ONLY Axis BBs 2 hit @ start…
-
Did a little research. Bismark was sunk may 1941. So unless there were other German BBs which exceeded the limits the rule is not historically accurate as applied to Germany.

i would suggest that all original Allied BBs be one-hit, afterwards be two, and all Axis BBs be two-hit. I can see people wasting their time building battleships because they were two-hit. 8)
-
Works fairly well to me.
However (history wise), I don’t know of any Battleships serving in the Med in 1942 worth 2-hits. Response anyone?
As for the Japanese, the 2-hit BBs fit perfectly with the 2 starting BBs Japan gets. They can represent the Musashi and Yamoto (sp?) Super-Heavy Battleship (largest ever built) used during the war. :)
-
i would rather see two-hit carriers instead, because although i don’t have the history right now, i know that the u.s and japan relied more heavily on carriers and air power than battleships.
-
In my opinion 2-hit carriers would unbalance the game too much.
Any player is a fool to attack to fully stocked carrier (2 ftrs defending at 4 and the carrier defending at 3) without overwhelming force. To make 2 hit carriers would be suicide. -
if you want to go historical, give the japanese 2 hit BB’s, and the german’s a bonus U-Boat fleet off of west europe.

GI, I wouldn’t waste my IPCs with BBs. They cannot blitz!
I agree with Teej.
Not a bad idea, M_S.

Oh yeah? 8) :P

Well in the PBEM game we’re playing right now, we’re using that 2-hit BB for Axis only rule right now (among other things). I’ll be sure to tell you how that works! :)
-
The problem with you r reasoning is that the Bismarck Gaspee etc. were solitary and as I nderstand it a BB is supposed to simulate a grou p 15-30 large… it was solo (bismark that is)…
-
I usually just see it in terms of a Battle Ship just being a ship, screw simulations. :-?
-
15-30? That’s a rather large number isn’t it? Esp. for battleships. I think TG is right, it’s just a battleship. Also, I would think the group would simulate the other ships with it (destroyer escort, etc.) and that seems wrong as well.
-
Then why should the Axis have an Advantage??? Battleship wise
-
Why not? :-?
-
doesn’t seem realistic give me where it happened??
Axis should have other advantages… -
