Alternate combat system without the battle box

@krieghund thx

One more thing …

The opening turn would be a single round attack by the Japanese with a 5 damaging ships and a 4 or less killing a ship; and air and ground units are killed on a four or less.  The Allies damage a ship on a 2 and kill a ship on a 1.  Air and ground units are killed on a 1.

This is my starting thought on a first turn Japanese advantage.

Lets see if that can survive some play testing.

To make the box last longer, is there was for a laminate or coating to place on it?

I like Guadalcanal too. I like BOTB better but this one is pretty tasty too.

Its probably an inside joke because that Japanese guy standing guard is so fat instead of a menu they give him an estimate.

@Temppa:

Thanks for the tips. I have bought Guadalcanal then and it seems to be a rather good game.

Glad we could help. I was wondering if maybe we’d scared you off and you decided to pick up some Euro game instead.  :-)

@sanya33:

i just bought AAG and i played it for the first time last night.

3 questions about the rules:

1. when it says ‘move battleships, destroyers etc’ can they move if they are in a combat situation? so move them out of combat?

Yes you may. Your units are not locked in combat. They are free to move or load during the appropriate segments.

2. it’s my turn and i play 2nd. during a land attack  i lose an artillery. can i use this lost artillery to attack back during my round? (like most AA games)

My understanding is that casualties are not removed till the end of the phase except in the case of subs. Units get a chance to shoot back.

3. in order to damage my enemy’s airfield do i have to destroy all of his land pieces first??

thanks, sanya  :roll:

Nope. You just need two hits from bombers or ships.

Yes, I didn’t post about that part. I had that infantry and artillery move in the same turn, then Armor. But your way works as well. It does cut a step out.
