Oh gosh I never noticed Sardinia being misspelled on the map! Just a proofing error I guess. Lucky that it’s a very unimportant territory for the game.

Sardinia fix. :) Print at 400 DPI.

@kenny Scout cars never need supplies. If the defender want to defend against them all units that require supplies must use them to defend against the scout car. I do believe the scout car is required to leave that zone, or it can just not capture it. I assume @Panther would know. Re-thinking I do believe it can stay in that zone as long as it is neutral or friendly.

@Ramstark 1-2 is for Anti Air. I’m not quite sure if the German AAA’s were that better to warrant for a 3 or less. If so then I would be happy to add it to my North Africa 1939 Variant game.

If an Italian bomber attacks the Malta Convoy zone in where you have 3 Supply Tokens and 1 UK Fighter, his attack value is technically 6 with the Fighter having a defense value of 5. This is of course quite absurd that a slow bomber would be able to attack a Spitfire and have a stronger attack value. Has there been a complimentary rule on this in order to reduce the bomber attack value to well below the Fighters value to reflect the very slim chance of success
?

Thanks Matt! I didn’t realize that was a different app since we were in Discord still and it opened from Discord.

A sea mine can be detonated against any ship that enters the zone, which includes transports deploying there. Only newly-arriving ships/transports are subject to sea mine attack. Units already present when the mines are placed do not allow the sea mine to trigger, nor are they affected should a later ship/transport enter the zone.

@Axtivate I tried to play as close to the rules as possible. I believe I got about 90% of them correct. The ones I missed were minor.

I’ve played it more times now and I have seen results split between the sides with the Allies getting more wins. Getting to Cairo is hard and by the time Operation Torch starts Germany has to then focus on protecting Tunis from the Allies. The times I have seen the Allies lose was a failure in having enough supply.

“If an Axis player has one or more bombers on Crete, THEY may deploy 1 sea mine…”

So only Axis players that do can mine the Suez.
