2007 AAMC AAR Main Championship

@Spud said in Combined bombardment in AAR:

Does anyone know if the destroyers need to be accompanied by a battleship in order to use combined bombardment?

No. There’s nothing in the rules indicating that.

This article can teach you a lot on playing Germany especially. http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=14466.0

For the Axis to win, they need to break the Allied economic advantage. Japan should be snatching the easy territories in the Pacific and Africa and taking potshots with her battleships but the primary focus should always be Russia. For the Allies to win, they need to control Axis expansion and if they do that, they will eventually overwhelm the Axis.

My best advice is don’t make mistakes. Great strategy can be beaten with a silly oversight. Make smart purchases. Germany needs infantry early and Japan needs transports early. Look at what the Allies can do at least one round out every turn so that you won’t leave an opening for them. Use the turn order to anticipate their next move and to determine which units are already committed. Be aware of canopeners. US clears Novo/Kazakh and Russian tanks get Japan’s fighters in Sinkiang. UK liberates Karelia and US tanks from Norway support an amphibious assault on Eastern Europe.

@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 :)

Arrows are what I hate most!  They clutter the board needlessly.

I’d rather type.  I’m a fast typist though.

We need 14 more players for the 2007 Revised Tournament to have a full 5 rounds of game play.

This is from page twenty of LHTR pdf file

Strategic Bombing Raids: a bomber can make an economic attack against an enemy industrial
complex. During the opening fire step of combat, bombers that survive any antiaircraft
fire may attack the industrial complex. Roll one die for each surviving bomber. The
opponent must surrender that many IPCs to the bank. The maximum combined damage inflicted in one turn by all strategic bombing raids on one industrial complex and any rocket attack on the same industrial complex is the territory’s income value.

Italics mine.

This from the out of box rules page 28:
Special Abilities
Strategic Bombing Raids: A bomber can make an economic attack against an enemy industrial complex.
During the opening fire step of combat, bombers that survive any antiaircraft fire may attack the industrial complex. Roll one die for each surviving bomber (the maximum each bomber can inflict is the territory’s income value). The opponent must surrender that many IPCs to the bank.
Weapons Development—Heavy Bombers: If you have the Heavy Bombers development, all your
bombers roll two dice on an attack instead of one. That means each bomber can score 2 hits in a regular attack, or inflict two dice of IPC loss in a strategic bombing raid. (It still cannot inflict more loss than the territory’s income value.)

Italics and bold mine.

If you are playing out of the box SBRs can do some hurt. Not as much hurt in “tourney” rules. Those are the out of box rules pdf from the Avalon Hill website. I think those are the latest LHTRs but it is from the link to the pdf version in the sticky thread. I guess that leaves the question of if in LHTR by turn they mean UK’s move or R thru US moves. My earlier post while not quite wrong is misprecise.

Come on now and sign up!  See the posting in the “Events” thread under “Finding Players” and let’s get rolling!!  A&A Revised rocks, and this tournament will be a blast!
