It would be nice if one could by the 2nd ed rulebook
Yes it would, printing out the set ups can get messy and lost easily, it would be nice to have a proper book…also a shame about missing out on all the awesome pieces.
What the UK does is based on what they have left. Their fleet in the Med should run and hide if Germany kills the RN in the channel. Then they should build up to defend England and screw africa. Honestly the UK only cares about africa AFTER England is safe. Otherwise taking africa falls to the USA player.
Targeted attacks would be a nice rule, perhaps you would select your target and then attack at 1 less than your normal attack value.
IMTO, I don’t think the level of detail in A&A combat supports targeted attacks unless the Techs you’re envisioning are jet power + Harpoons / ALCMs.
