Alternate combat system without the battle box

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.

As Frimmel said, you do the Attack Air Units step for each zone in which air units are eligible to be attacked.  Then you do the Attack Sea Units step in each sea zone in which sea units are eligible to be attacked.  Ditto with land units.  Each eligible zone does one combat round in each step.  At that point combat is over, and you move on the the next phase.  You don’t repeat the combat cycle again - you only go through it once on each turn.  A turn can end with opposing forces still occupying the same zone.

As long as opposing forces continue to occupy the zone, the battle will continue on subsequent turns, one round per turn.  Unlike D-Day, forces are not locked in combat.  They can leave the zone any time they are eligible to move.

I have not got mine yet,but I’ve been told it’s pretty cheasy.

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

@frimmel:

Ranged fire is cool!!!   :mrgreen:

Well, unless you are on the wrong side of it.  :cry:

No, it is not!
I’m always on the wrong side of it … and the enemy artillery always hits the wrong transport.

:lol: Stupid random casualty system.

@Commander:

I have played the game now and the instructions are not clear on one thing.

Do you only pay supply to move ships from the cards during deployment or do you also pay during movement as well?  I noted the instructions show you only pay during deployment…
Commander Hara

If you want to move ships or planes from the island card during the deployment phase you must use a supply or more depending on where on the board you want to go.

All other movement does not cost a supply.

Me too.  We were using one supply token for every ship sent and only sending them during the resupply phase.  We were spending huge amounts of money getting ships onto the board.  No wonder our game was dragging on way past turn five.

I tried to contact the replacement but no luck so far.

I’m sure he’s working at funagain full time.
