Flanking artillery help infantry on mail assault?

@The_Good_Captain Yes. See “Staging Territories”, on page 13 of the Rulebook, and “Deploying Land and Air Units and Supply Tokens”, on page 25.

@emmettdd said in Game Question On UK1 Attack Possibility:

@Karl7 we did have a turn 5 axis win by going around tobruk. That was fun

I do feel Brits have a much better chance if they give up tobruk and fight in mersa mutruh

Interesting, yeah, I am the first to concede that I haven’t played the game that much to be an expert.

But the fact that UK can throw a 50%ish attack and wipe out the german spearhead, safeguarding Cairo round 1 seems pretty huge.

Sure, if the dice flop for UK, they will have to fall back towards Cairo, but even a trade would be pretty devastating for Germany in my opinion…

But totally willing to be wrong on this

Basic R.R.(not using any units from other games)
Italy versus U.S.
Italy versus British Empire

Germany versus US
Germany versus British Empire

Both Axis versus just BE/USA
Both Allies versus GE./Italy

Folks I hope to start soon, bad weather and a leaky roof has stopped theses battles from commencing, thanks, Pellulo

Now…

No, the British player cannot buy supply with pre-game variable RPs.
On page 9, the plastic game pieces are referred to as combat units and trucks. As supply is not a plastic piece, they are not combat units.

Under LAND UNITS on page 30: “Infantry, mechanized infantry, artillery, anti-tank guns, anti-aircraft artillery, scout cars, and tanks are combat units, but trucks are not combat units.” Supply is not listed here as a combat unit.

Looks like we should have defined combat units more carefully, but the phrase “combat unit” appears dozens of times in the rulebook and it is clear in those uses that supply is not considered a combat unit.

Thanks,
Matt

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.

@COJOH
Yes, that is correct. Think of the old cargo as at the mouth of the port. Not so easy to mine that area.
