Need help with rules

Yard sale.  eBay attempted to plunder my bank account when someone claimed they didnt get a package I shipped, even though I had the tracking information proving it arrived at his registered address.  Luckily, I had closed the account, so now I have the cash, but can’t use ebay or paypal.

@morten200:

Jefe: How is this different from the rules you play with? No one is arguing against the defender choosing his own losses and the attacker choosing his own losses.

Sometimes I think he reads every other line of the post he is questioning. :wink:

Thanks! I did find a pdf version of the 2nd ed. Rule Book on Hasbro’s web page. I’ll check out this other link for more information. Thanks again.

@you:

NO it doesnt!!! when a battleship gets an attack during an amphibous landing, the unit it destroys, if it succeds (and there is a 66% chance of that) the unit gets no retaliation at all!!! at least those are the rules that came with the board game, apparently everyone around here is accustomed to changing he rules. also, the battleship is not involved in battle so it cannot be destroyed. it shoots ground cover for the freighters and the amphibious landers.

well, you’re right in your last sentance.
and kind of right in your second-to-last sentance (although Hasbro/Avalon Hill does make some suggestions for “evening out the playing field”. As for your first 2 statements - they’re wrong, although i’m curious as to which version of the game you received this rule with.

@bossk:

I believe the attacker still gets to choose his loses in what you refer to as fly overs.

In the case of a flyover battle with an AA gun, the attacker could choose casualties but there isn’t much point. The reason being that you can only have a single air unit involved in the flyover battle as per rule #5 I stated above (i.e. one combat move). That means only one type of unit (either a fighter or a bomber) is present so there isn’t much point in choosing casualties.

I think this is an exception to the general rule that the opposing force always chooses their casualties.

Achoo, Bruce Lee? - correct the misquote

Wow, Germany only earns 33 IPCs on G2. I just hope this low IPC count doesn’t deduct from standard unit purchases. And I hope there’s still enough money to buy “spoiler” ATB units instead of just focusing on Inf due to low IPC count.

Ha just like my pal Rommel once said, “A plan never survives contact with the enemy…”
