A&A games in the family?

@slip-capone

We played a couple, then moved onto a week-long game of Global. I like “Revised” quite a bit, but my usual opponent is none-too-happy with the ability of transports to shoot back.
; )

THANKS!

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.

Now that you have the Revised game you’re probably going to want to toss the Operating Manual (or at least bury it at the bottom of the box  :wink: ).  Replace it with the latest LHTR (v1.3 i think)  here’s the link to a pdf version:

Have fun!

p.s. looking forward to our first game

K, thanks very much.  I was a little bit in doubt and didn’t know the background of when that was started.

My old A&A crew, from when I lived in Albuquerque, (of which justus and DonkeyPunchNightmare are members) would be glad to play all the time.  Sometimes I feel as if I’m getting rusty, because they play fairly often, while I play once ina blue moon, at best.  For this reason, much of mine and justus’ phone conversations are about - you guessed it - A&A!
