Rule modifications, please…

@Krieghund:

Welcome, yeomans!

Submarines can be attacked by air units in this game.  Of course, they will only get one shot before the sub(s) can withdraw.

You may be thinking of the rule that says subs can’t hit air units, or you may have read something concerning later versions of A&A in which air units are unable to hit subs without a friendly destroyer present.

The underlined portion was a totally new thing for us when we started playing 1942.2 (after playing the classic version for so long).  I can see the idea behind it though.  Helps preserve the sub a bit better from what we’ve seen.

A newbie facing the same dilemma. Thanks for letting me know that it is the second generation. But can you please elaborate how that come?

Yes, this is true…… BUT, when you drop them off on UK’s turn, and then on USA’s turn the transports move to pick them up, then on UK’s turn load on the transport, then on USA’s turn transport them, and UK’s turn unload. It takes a lot of time. And within those turns, Germany (if they still have their air force) can sink that American transport. So, I think its not a good strategy.

I know but:

1. People won’t recognize the thread that easy…
2. It is easier to ask…
3. Helps me build post count in an honest helpful way… 8-)

If I remember right though there was a reason why Japan didn’t land in Manch I think it was b/c there was a counterattack possible and so GWS choose to go for either SFE and Kwan or all to FIC.

Europe 8
Pacific 6

By t3 I have like 35 inf plus whtever in kerelia. I welcome the attack! I exagerate a bit but if Germany attacks Keralia I suggest earlier unless USSR does something stupid. Or later if Japan is threatening from the other side.

@bossk:

I believe the attacker still gets to choose his loses in what you refer to as fly overs.

In the case of a flyover battle with an AA gun, the attacker could choose casualties but there isn’t much point. The reason being that you can only have a single air unit involved in the flyover battle as per rule #5 I stated above (i.e. one combat move). That means only one type of unit (either a fighter or a bomber) is present so there isn’t much point in choosing casualties.

I think this is an exception to the general rule that the opposing force always chooses their casualties.
