Hello all, need some help/advice

Hi @major-jsoto

The only two places I know to play online are here https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/17147/gargantua-s-k-i-s-s-triplea-instructions/30

Sorry to hear about your ordeal, Poague. You were remarkably close if you were listing that out from memory. I checked my board and then double-checked a couple of times (I find the sillhouettes on that board to be difficult to read). You missed two Japanese sea zones, the airfields, a US sub, and there were several quantity tweaks, mostly on US side. I also added the control markers. Still, that was an impressive stab at it.

Axis & Allies Guadalcanal Setup:

Japan
Sea zone A: submarine
Sea zone B: cruiser, 2 destroyers, 2 transports
Sea zone C: destroyer, submarine
Sea zone E: cruiser
Sea zone F: transport
Sea zone G: cruiser, transport
Rabaul : battleship, 2 aircraft carriers, 4 fighters, cruiser, destroyer, 2 transports, 2 bombers, 3 fighters, A.A. gun, artillery, 4 infantry, supply token
Bouganville: fighter, A.A. gun, artillery, 3 infantry, 2 supply tokens, airfield, Japanese control marker
Choiseul: artillery, infantry, Japanese control marker
Santa Isabel: infantry, Japanese control marker
Malaita: infantry, Japanese control marker
New Georgia: artillery, 2 infantry, supply token, Japanese control marker
Guadalcanal: 3 infantry, 2 supply tokens

U.S.
Sea zone J: battleship, submarine, 2 destroyers, 2 transports
Sea zone K: aircraft carrier, 2 fighters, cruiser, destroyer, 2 transports
New Caledonia: aircraft carrier, 2 fighters, cruiser, 2 destroyers, submarine, 2 transports, 5 bombers, 5 fighters, A.A. gun, 3 artillery, 3 infantry
Guadalcanal: A.A. gun, 3 artillery, 5 infantry, 3 supply tokens, airfield, US control marker

Sea zones D, H and I are empty.

Larry Harris wrote some great “Reports from the front” last year before A&A1914 was released. They helped me very much to learn and understand the specific rules and settings of the new game.

My question is, are there any similar reports for A&A classic or A&A50? Maybe somebody else did write this kind of reports with detailed actions?

Thanks!

I say your in excellent position to divert some forces to Japan. I think you should start building Pacific navy. but send some forces to africa. but you need to atleast bockade the suez if your building in the pacific. then move you bombers to the middle of the board. also you should attack FIC with india.  but what happened to russia. I hope that is an invisible chips under your sole inf in the ukraine. and that it stands for 100.

Thanks for the Clarification switch, I think you might have nailed it… At any rate John Remember that you must roll a “number” or lower in order to get a hit.

@nefi:

hi. my question is: i atack whit 5 infantry units and 3 artillery units. then, all infantry units are supported by artillery

3 infantry units are supported by artillery.
you then have
2 inf rolls on a 1
3 inf rolls on a 2
3 rtl rolls on a 2

Artillery supports on a 1 to 1 basis, each artillery pairs up with one infantry unit to give the infantry a +1 attack bonus. This does not apply when defending.

@Revelade:

Can two or more bombers hit the same indust complex? And if so, assuming the area that the IC was on had a value of 3 and both bombers rolled 4 and 5, would the IC player lose only 3 IPCs, or would that damage stack, resulting in a 6 IPC loss?

This depends on what ruleset you are using. I see that theres a lot of confusion in this post regarding bombing raids, so I’ll try to make most of the questions clear.

If you are using LHTR the maximum combined damage inflicted in one turn by both strategic bombing raids and any rocket attack on the same industrial complex is the territory’s income value.
You can then attack several complexes to do more damage.

If you are using the out of the Box rules, the bombing raids are a bit more effective. Here each bomber can inflict no more than the territory’s ipc value.
This means that if you attack Caucasus with 3 bombers you can do up to a maximum of 12 damage, as the value of caucasus is 4 IPC, besides if you have the rocket tech you can still inflict up to 4 more damage with a rocket.

I should say that most players uses LHTR (Larry Harris Tournament Rules), as these are commonly agreed upon to be more fair, it should be obvious when you think about the bombing rules in the standart rules.

Regarding heavy bombers
In the standart rules, heavy bombers do 2 dice of damage both in regular combat and in bombing raids. That is 2-12 IPC damage, depending on the territory’s ipc value, the bomber can still only do damage up to the value of the territory.

In LHTR heavy bombers rolls two dice and then you get to choose what roll you want to keep. When Heavy bombers are in bombing raids you get to roll 2 dice, choose one of the rolls and add 1 to this value, this is for a damage of 2-7 per heavy bomber.

Hope this answers all your questions,
-Daniel

come to Round beginning and everyone roll Tech’s

and do or die everyone :wink:
