Alpha 3?

Any time you can go in period garb, do it for the looks. Also have some good answers to obvious questions. Im a mideival reenactor and its great to see the looks when your in costume. When they ask if your in a play or an actor and you say no we always dress like this. Or what do you do, ( carring a great sword or sword and sheild in armor) and we say were in the busines of hurting people

Does cause Japan to not collect their 10 ipc NO if memory serves. At least in the current version of alpha 3.

@Frontovik:

do AC’s and fighters each block for 1 IPC too?

Aircraft carriers can be used to block enemy surface ships from passing through the sea zone in which the aircraft carrier occupies (if thats what you mean by block). Also, an Aircraft carrier may be used to disrupt enemy convoys if it meets the necessary requirements. However, in Alpha+2 games, aircraft on carriers or otherwise may not disrupt convoys (if thats what you mean by block).

@elque:

London’s 5 AA guns should be able to role once against each of three attacking German fighters in an amphibious assault then for a maximum of 15 die rolls. 5 AA guns each firing 3 times against each of 3 attacking air units.

the 5 London AA guns  could generate no more than 3 die rolls against the 3 German airplanes.

So … which is the correct interpretation?

In the Alpha+3 rules, London begins the game with 4 AA guns ( not sure if your scenario had the UK purchasing one or not, but just wanted to point that out)

Yes, the territory IPC value limitations still apply.

Question answered thanks!

I’d have to agree that Kamikazee just makes no sense on offense, in terms of game play.  I believe the idea is to add extra defense to Japan, since they are out numbered 4 to 1 (China, England, ANZAC and America vs Japan).

Yeah, I don’t know about Global, but I love it in Pacific. It removes the extreme Japanese advantage from a J1 attack (although I havn’t actually tried that, but seems pretty obvious).

A J3 attack should go Japan’s way if you don’t make any errors and dice are even, but only just. This setup was way more enjoyable than any original setup game I have played.
