New Major Complex Plastic Pieces for AA40 games!

@Imperious-Leader I live in central Missouri… I’m just going to a gaming con in Tulsa in February

@tomcoll67

Hello, I am interested in helping you create rules for such a scenario. To begin, I have some suggestions for unit and weapon rules.

D6 system

Land Units:

Infantry
cost-3 ipc A1/D2/M1 (A2 when supported 1 to 1 by artillery)

Mech Infantry
cost-4 ipc A/1/D2/M2 (A2 when supported 1 to 1 by artillery)

Artillery
cost-4 ipc A2/D2/M1 (first strike)

Self-propelled artillery
cost-5 ipc A2/D2/M2 (first strike)

Tank
cost-6 ipc A3/D3/M2 (can blitz)

Commando
cost-5 ipc A2/D2/M1 (target selection on a roll of 1)

Air Assault Infantry
cost-4 ipc A1/D2/M1 (M3 from airbase)

Surface to air missile
cost-6 ipc A2X3/D2X3/M1

Weapons:

Rockets

Cruise missile
cost-8 ipc M2 (launched from cruisers, destroyers, airbases and naval bases. Role 1 D6 for damage inflicted, 1-2= 1 hit, 3-4= 2 hits, 5-6= 3 hits.)

Anti-ship missile
cost-8 ipc M2 (launched from cruisers, destroyers and naval bases. Role 1 D6 for damage inflicted, 1-2= 1 hit, 3-4= 2 hits, 5-6= 3 hits.)

Sub launched ballistic missile
cost-12 ipc M2 (launched from subs. Role 1 D6 for damage inflicted.)

Intercontinental ballistic missile
cost-20 ipc M10 (launched from missile silos. Role 2 D6 for damage inflicted.)

@general-6-stars I have a physical map that I have made. It’s mostly rules i am trying to develop. Thanks for showing me your map.

Had a few questions regarding this game.

It says AA guns, supplies and trains are destroyed if targeted by SBR and hit. Was curious if 1 hit destroys all supplies/AA guns/or trains in a targeted zone or just 1 of them? The way it describes them in plural terms throws me off.

What happens when multiple generals meet in battle? For example 2 Russian generals meet 2 German generals in a battle, do you add their skill levels and roll ? Or do u only use the highest skill level and roll? And how is it decided which attribute is used or is the winner of roll able to use multiple attributes?

What are considered vehicles? For times when vehicles get a modifier to their roll. I was thinking vehicles would be all armor, mechs, SP artillery, and maybe tank destroyers but wasn’t sure. I figured SS grenadiers would be considered infantry since their counterparts for Russia are Guard Rifles.

I understand that all units being used for combat are moved in the combat move phase and then all units can be moved in the non combat phase, even those used in combat. However it specifically mentions aircraft are able to move up to their move limit during combat move and then must land in a tt that has been friendly since beginning of the turn. My question is : Are aircraft able to move in the combat move phase even if they aren’t going into combat and then land in the non-combat phase and if so do they need a supply to be used each time like other units?

I wasn’t sure about this since it seemed strange that aircraft could move their limit in combat move and then again in non combat move, but only if they are going into combat.

Any help or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I got a little greedy with this poll.  I voted for 8 pieces.  All 4 aircraft types are a must, plus the V-1 and V-2 rockets.  The Atlantic Wall gun emplacements seem like an interesting idea.  That would make it harder for the Allies to get back into Europe.

How about the Railway Gun?  You could make a piece like the monsterous Gustav 800mm gun.  What a cool piece that would be.  I wonder how you would actually deploy it in the game and what kind of values you would give it (movement, cost, attack, defense).  Perhaps it wouldn’t be a combat piece, but something more special like SBRs.  What a gun!  800mm is about 31.5 inches in diameter.  The massive guns on the Iowa class battleships are 16 inches.  Well, a piece like this may not be feasable, but an interesting idea nonetheless.

We have a three strikes and out rule here. Three major spelling errors of simple words and lots of  :x :-P :oops: :x 8-) :evil: :roll: and waaa!!!%%&$%$**( = deleted post).

Consider this Baseball except with syntax.

I do remember Jack saying something about a new release for the summer.I emailed concerning V2s in the 3 color reinforcement package.I hope its a go.I have all 5 sets.They are great additions to the game(s).I love the WW1 tanks,modern apcs(they work for most
M113 types),and the 1/2 track.I remember in an old interview of his how disappointed he was with the  ships.They are kinda lame,about like Eagle’s types.

Just buy a milton bradly edition of the game and use those pieces. Table tactics is not good quality molds. Only the fortress America rips are decent.

Your would save money by getting c/c or ebay ghq.
