How Many People Use the Two-hit BB in A&A?

Dude there is more than one axis and allies game. I like the original. (haven’t played any of the others)

Excellent points by everyone.

Not realistic, but good looking with the nice counters, figures etc….
somewhere out there is this funny thread about how to misuse them, and “acting out” fighters that attack etc…

That’s strange, I thought he hated A&A.
I checked out the site and couldn’t make heads or tails of it.

Burnout…. You’re a bit of a drive since I am near Niagara Falls, but if you’re ever thinking about a trip…

Xi, if I could cross the border… Question, why only Canadians? Do you fear your fellow countrymen’s right to bear arms? snicker

Well, you are right about the Brit Navy. What was their policy? All american sailers were really british traitors even 20 years after king charlie lost it……

At that time the sun never set on the british empire… Not even god trusted an englishmen in the dark… :-)

Thankfully, that sort of tom-foolery has been left far behind. Mind you we feel a bit bitter about the softwood lumber thing… So we just raise the price of oil to you down there, nadda prob :-)

I think during 1812 the US crushed the Laker fleet of the British. I believe your victorous admiral reported back to your president “We have met the enemy, and he is mine”, after capturing 1/2 the brit fleet and sinking the other half (or there abouts, you get the picture).

As for as congress and declarations… A rose by any other name is still… :-)

Very good response. I’d like to add that if you are talking about 1 TR (unsupported) vs. 1 TR (also unsupported), the defender will always win since the attacker has 0 attack value. I.E. essentially you can’t do it.

Unless you play with an always active AA gun, flyovers on AA guns on the Non Combat Move cannot be fired upon by the AA gun.

In any attack of the nature you described, the AA gun must roll one die for each attacking plane (that is, FTRs & BMRs) at the same time–attacker chooses losses. This concept is reflected throughout the game in various different instances. For instance, your dice in Combat are rolled by “column” on the BattleBoard. After you roll for all “columns” then count the raw # of hits, the opponent chooses what got hit (except in the rare case when multi-national defenders cannot agree, in which case the attacker chooses). In research as well, you can’t buy 1 Tech Die at a time and roll till you get a hit; you must decide how many dice you want and roll all of them at once.
