The result of naval units after combat

Thanks, I had missed that.

You don’t beat your kids? :P

No, you are wrong guys.  They would not splash.  All units (land sea or air) can always retreat one square, even if they are out of moves.  It is the bases for the leap-frog maneuver, where you can legally move a tank for example three times in one round.

Also, these alternate strategies are in direct response to specific opening moves by other nations and were posted as a way to “try something new” that also had the unique component of being so crazy as to be viable :-)

Once in the New Game menu, instead of clicking Begin, click on Options, then Edit Unit is directly above your choice of buttons for that menu.

I would think if you had 3 bomber stacks you could still build additional bombers. The rule is “pieces on the board” and I don’t think the build circle counts. Now, you’d have to have a bomber stack on the factory or lose a stack in battle. I would think if you have 3 bomber stackes on the board and none on the factory, the newly built bomber would be lost.

There are adjustments, then there is totally changing the game. Besides, what’s the point of making up a wild set of rules, playing that set of rules and getting good at it…… only to find nobody wants to play that way?

I’ve found that making even what you think are subtle changes can make a huge difference. Maybe it’s just me but even after all these years, each game takes on a life of it’s own after the first 2-3 rounds and often sooner.

I think the 1 defense on the bombers represents the machine gun cockpits on the bombers themselves. Not fighter protection.

A&A is not base awhole lot on combat realism.

A attacking bomber on a defending fighter, they both have an hit value of 4.
I have a hard time picturing this in real life, but thats not a big concern because its just a game.
