A&A Jargon - Colloquialisms

Hate to compromise my deity status, but JWW is giving me quite the schooling in the league this year…he beat me in 5 rounds our first game, and 4 rounds into the second things are looking hopeless.  I managed to beat him a couple times last year, but I had to work for it–he’s hardly breaking a sweat!  Now if we could just get him to write some strategy articles.  :-)

@scheidelin:

I corrected my first note.

Ghostglider was playing Allies ofcause

Got ya. I already was heavily confused by the setup on the board for an Axis victory :P
But this is great. Indeed, be sure to announce it next year, Holland aint that far away either :)

Apart from the brits leaving the frenchies to the wolves i havnt seen anything to out of the ordinary. i broke the axis with Rome as they invaded albania (no point getting involved with a drowning man  :-D )

ONLY if you have the Combined Bombardment technology.

Otherwise, ONLY the Battleship fires, and then only once for the entire battle, and then only if it did not engage in combat the same turn as the amphibious landing.

Hey lord BTW the 8/8 and 8/6 means it rolls a secondary attack. German Jet fighters have this because they were able to use their speed to attack a fighter two times in the time it would take that prop plane to get a good look at a Me-262. They were able to even ignore fighters and strike at bombers and then get a pass at the fighters again.

Battleships get a secondary attack that is not preemtive. The first (highter number) is a preemtive attack.

The carriers take 2 hits

german Type XX1 is preemtive even against destroyers and cruisers

Katyuskas are preemtive

self propelled artillery hits go against tanks first

armor hits go against artillery or armor

infantry must go on infantry first

Artillery attack preemtively in the first round only

Tanks +1 attack with matching plane 1/1

Infantry +1 attack with matching artillery 1/1

Artillery +1 movement with matching armor 1/1

many other rules make the numbers look more understandable. Many ask why does a battleship etc. attack twice… but if you look at the other rules as a whole the values are perfect.

Yea, the reason for that is America can offset any advances by Japan through exploitation of her islands.  Couple that with the massive fleet Japan has to build up just to keep America from owning everything and killing her Asian units from the rear and you have a mess for Japan.

And yes, I know you can vote for May already…
(I believe this poll will run in May as well, as far as I know…)
