Explanations for changes from Milton Bradley version

welcome to the forums!

@mallimoosh:

1. Can you fly air units over enemy sea and land territories without AA during noncombat?

yes.  you can always fly air over whatever you want so long as the air units can land.  you could also fly air units over AA during noncombat too, but the AA gets to shoot at you depending on which version of the rules you are playing.

@mallimoosh:

2. If an attacker fails to take an occupied enemy territory and the attack is over, can he then go back into that same territory with other units during the same combat move?

no.  all combat moves are considered to take place at the same time, and, one you’ve started rolling, you can’t go back and make another combat move.

See this thread in player help.

The TripleA is a cool game, but it’s a shame that the AI is sooo lame. It really is to easy.
However, it’s great that they included a lot of versions, and a few new ones(at least to me). The Great War scenario looks nice :-D

To be honest, I always determine my build units after determining all my attacks.  Actually screwed me up in a F2F game because I couldnt move the pieces into the territory being attacked without giving up my right to buy units.

But in PBF it’s easier.  No one is looking over your shoulder, so you can write out all your attacks, move the pieces on the board, look at the situation, determine what your NCMs are going to be (most likely - or even permanently if none of your attacks need dice) then see what the board looks like and figure out what you will build from that.

:-o
The latest version of Triple A is very good. You can play someone via e-mail, or live on line. The AI is ok if your a beginner,( or just feel lke breaking a losing streak). i usually end up playing solitaire when I’m working out a new strtagy. Or you can play hot seat at yours or someones PC. I ike it because I don’t have to have a board set up somewhere all of the time. Also, I think some of those guys I play against on line don’t bathe very often, so Playing them over the internet works for me. :-D

  They call me that because I’ve sent my T-34s’ just about everywhere.  :roll: Not Brazil yet though, Hmmm… Next time Jerry invades there I’ll have to send some T-34s’ to liberate it.

Im looking forward to it because I have yet to see T-34’s in Brazil as well lol. But not having to setup a board is clutch. We manage a meetup once a week playing the boardgame but its not enough to satisfy the craving haha. Cant wait to start playing some games versus fellow forum members.

There is now a link in the Tournament Rules thread to a funcitonal link for teh LHTR rules.

Major changes that I note:
Landing FIGs on new AC rules are changed
Errata regarding SBR damage corrected
Heavy Bombers are different (though this is not a factor for our no technology Tournament)
AA fire in NCM rules changed (they don;t fire in NCM)
Numerous clarifications including multinational forces present during attack in a sea zone.

before I ever heard the exact rules of A&AR, I thought that a part of the combat sequence was like this:

the attacker attacks with his attacking dice the defender defends with his defending dice the defender attacks with his defending dice the attacker defends with his attacking dice casualties are taken from the board
(…step 1 till 5 again…)

maybe a little feedback is needed?
say 4 fighters attack 3 infantry and 2 fighters?

the attacker rolls 4 dice. he rolls (as an example: 1,2,3,4) so 3 hits the defender rolls his defense: infantry 2,5,6 and fighter 4,5 so he has defended 2 of his units good, but will lose one unit (the third hit he could not prevent by defending rolls) the defender makes a counterattack with his defending dice (he is in his own territory, so he has an advantage…): he rolls 2,3,4 for inf and 4,6 for figs. so, 1 hit for the inf and 1 hit for the figs. the attacker rolls for this counterattack and rolls a 3,4,5,6 so only one die (the ‘3’) is good for the attacker to prevent the damage sustained. another unit has to die…

you can see this is a whole other way of playing, and would make the game look more like “warhammer”
I just thought the game would be played this way, but since I know the rules, I know it’s not  :lol:
I’m not suggesting you should play this way…
you can always say every casualty has a “save” of a “1 on 6” or a “2 on 6” to prevent being lost and still stay in battle…
I know this rule would prolong battle, but sometimes people want this…
:-P

:x ah yes you are right. my mistakes
