Rules, interpretations and errata

Counter needs to be placed on the unit that caused the overstacking… makes this easier.

Just be aware they are optional, and not what I’d call generally accepted.  Bit as long as you know who you are playing against and they are cool with it then you are fine.

Unfortunately there are several errors/typos in the new cards.

It looks like the 7pt one has the ribbon?

I thought of third one that is basically just a combination of those:

Spread out the support pieces, and have each one earn different points on top of their ability.

HQ = Aircraft points
Ammo Dump = Soldier points
Fuel Depot = Vehicle points

It adds more strategy as to what you want to hold. I’d say 2 ammo dumps, 1 HQ, and 1 fuel depot would probably make it the most fun.

Well at the bottom is a link to the pdfs.  :-)

I’ve been toying with the idea of introducing soft cover and hard cover as game concepts for A&AM, and I’m looking for some feedback or ideas (and hopefully others might try it and tell me how it worked for them). Yes, they’re based on gross oversimplifications, but the whole game is based on such, so I don’t see this as a problem.

Soft Cover: Forests - Cover Rolls have a -1 to them, meaning that Soldiers have a 5+ cover save, and vehicles need a 6.

Hard Cover: Towns, Hills -  Normal cover rolls as per the rulebook.

Erm. Yea, I’ll explain more in a bit. I have to log offline ASAP. But I see this as being a bit more realistic and tactical without overcomplicating things. I might give the standard infantry of each nation a “foxhole” ability one of these years too, one that allows them to treat soft cover as hard cover if they didn’t move in the movement phase that turn. I dunno yet.

Over in the Rules Discussion of the Avalon Hill message boards, there’s that project called the “Historical House Rules [HHR]”, and it’s an attept to make the rule-cards more realistic and balanced for quite a few units (others were left alone). Has anyone tried using these? We gave them a spin the other night and they seem alot more realistic and had their actual historical capaicity on the battlefield. My only gripe is that the cards are in the A&AM colors, which means they’ll kill your printer if you want to print 'em up.
