Rules question

The Germans have no destroyer present, therefore the defending air units can not hit the sub, and of course the sub can never hit planes. Think of it in terms of the combined arms rule, air units can only hit subs if they are combined with at least 1 participating destroyer, the difference with this particular combined arms is that it works while attacking and defending. In the scenario that you described, the sub would destroy the remaining transport without rolling and the defending fighters can do nothing.

What I like to do is unload usa on Normandy. UK goes right after and loads up on USA transports, then it offloads a counter attack the next round wherever USA brings the boats.

@kcdzim:

In addition to what was already stated by Moralecheck -

While the game engine may sometimes allow it, you are not technically allowed per the game rules to load during the combat phase if those units cannot or will not be used for an amphibious assault during that combat phase.

Yes, I understand. I was assuming that they could be offloaded at some point that turn, but either way it would have ended up being the same if I loaded them in combat move or non-combat, since they could do nothing either way.

Thanks!

@major_payne:

hi,

how due the tech rules work with alpha 3 rules?

This is different from OOB:

@Alpha:

Research & Development (that have been modified)

Rockets: Your air bases can now launch rockets. During the Strategic and Tactical Bombing
Raid step of your Conduct Combat phase each turn, each of your operative air bases can make
a single rocket attack against an enemy industrial complex, air base, or naval base within 4
spaces of it. This attack does one die roll of damage to that facility. Rockets may not be fired
over neutral territories.

Improved Mechanized Infantry:  Each of your mechanized infantry units that are paired up
with a tank or artillery now has an attack value of 2. Also, your mechanized infantry may now
blitz without being paired with a tank.

Improved Shipyards: Change the IPC cost of cruisers to ‘9’.

France is already at war with Germany and Italy when the game starts.  It may declare war on Japan on any of its turns.

You could try this but I think you need to buy it  to increase the difficulty. The 2 games I played against the computer were terribly easy.  http://www.gametableonline.com/gameinfo.php?gid=35

As I suspected.  Thanks!
