I don’t see where it is kiss for defender to roll “2” or less to get preeptive hit, since attacker already made all his rolls.

I just stacked it for no reason. US had only 1 transport in fleet. Didn’t matter where I moved Japan Inf. I did this on turn 8. Game was over by then anyway. This game has a lot of small changes at start of game the your normal 40 game oob and with some tech later in game that changes a few things too. Every game is different. japan got jet fighters tech on turn 7. So now when they went into Calcutta it gave there Figs A7 instead of 6.

Jet fighter on D12 should be bonus to defense as in Classic Tech instead of offense.
In AA50 and Global, I believe they put it into offense because of D@4 being already high, @5 appeared too high.
But D12 have a lot of room for it.
Historically speaking, Jet Fighter were interceptors and were thirsty on fuel, not suitable for attack mission.

Ya I agree to that now. It didn’t matter for Calcutta battle. I’ll change it to D7 instead of A7.

Don’t know what you mean by D2. If your talking about Tac hitting on 2 or less the defender doesn’t get a defense shot. Might be some confusion here.

BTW, thanks for the report and pics. It brings things in a more vivid way.

Do you know if there is a file with your map to download.
I’m more than curious to see how they handle China and High Siberian plateau TTs?

Ok, TcB A7 D4 pick target and get a preemptive hit on a “2 or less” only when attacking?

Remember I don’t have in game where you can buy air or naval bases. You can only use whats on the map. Air bases give you + 1 move. Naval bases only give you a +1 move when you go from one naval base to another naval base in non combat. Other wise you only get a 2 move from them in combat.
This forces you to plan your attack moves a turn ahead for naval.

Is your map a bit different from Death Head’s?

General 6 Stars

Just for the Dutch Island Values and I made the UK pacific FEC Anzac. And drew a Line on map so West Germany is not connected to the same sea zone as London I believe. It was a map flaw that was pointed out.

Newbie question: how do you built your 12 sided dices pack?
How many do you have?
My local store only provide a large number of 10 sided dice pack.

Chessex dice. I bought 2 bags of 50 d12 per bag with different colors.

General 6 Stars

Dang, maybe I missed it but Chessex don’t sell d12 right now. I bought 1 bag of 50 d12’s at gaming Store and the other at Amazon I believe. HBG sells them .55 a piece but I believe its either 6 or 8 colors.

baron Münchhausen

50 Dices… A real deal.
Besides D6, the highest bulk package was 10 D10, at the last gaming shop visited.

Amazon did have 25 packs of d12. Some transparent. I thought it said 13.50 with free shipping. Check on site. I think the 50 pack is obsolete now.

baron Münchhausen

Thanks.

Go to E-bay. I found a set of 50 for 10.00 free shipping outside of US. They do have Chessex 50 pkg. dice there to like one I found was 23.00 plus 6.00 shipping. Probably more like 12.00 shipping for you but close to other sites that are selling 50 pkgs at 35.00.

I’ll probably buy another 50pk. Do need more for 2nd Table. I believe the item number on bag is Chessex 29412. This is the 2 bags I bought. Some dice I don’t use is because there to dark with gold number colored. So I may go with that transparent set because I can see all the white number coloring on them.

Had second thoughts on Victory points conditions but after rechecking I�m good to go. If axis don�t get Calcutta they will need Stalingrad for sure and vice versa with 1 bonus point.
Was just thinkin the Axis didn�t have enough ways to get 30 points if they didn�t get 2 of the 2 worth city�s.

Adding the 2 point bonuses really help axis to win like in 5 ways instead of just the normal blast to Moscow.
Got 7 guys for game this Saturday which will see how well the game goes finally with more than 2 to 4 test players. The game this Saturday is not a test game. The normal group is playing. Ill post a report Sunday.

baron Münchhausen

Cool.
Have fun.
Thanks.
