@UKcommander:

Ok, so I have you having 1 inf, 3 arm, and 2 ftrs in the UK.  Also, I assumed that you submerged your sub in SZ 48 but let me know if you wanted that to go any differently.

I have 2 infabtry, 3 armor, 1 artillery, 2 fighters in UK. My sub was submerged.
By the way, I show you having 37 IPCs in hand for the UK, as you didn’t spend 3 on your last move.  Please confirm that for me.  USA’s turn.
UK collected 34 IPC’s but has 37.

My trn and carrier are in SZ 27. I’ll remove a ftr from UK.

Just curios how far everybody who played it got. PM me the round you died on and I’ll put it in the High Scores.

High Scores
#1: aarules-died on round 6

20 points: Healing-If your last soldier dies, use this to limit to disruption. Once per game during casualty phase.

35 points: Reinforcements-You receive an MG42 on the east edge. Once per game.

40 points: Construction-Place 2 pillboxes. Once per game.

60 points: U-Boat sinks LSI-Once the round is over, skip 5 rounds. Do not receive points for units skipped. Once per game.

Special Advantages
During an initiative phase, you can spend that amount of points to use that special ability once per turn.

6 points: Offboard Artillery-Check my topic. Artillery makes shellholes unless in water. Once per turn.

8 points: Adjacent Area Fire Support-An MG42 from an adjacent area can fire at 6 dice against soldiers or 1 die against vehicles at any range. Can use Double Shot. Once per turn.

10 points: Swap units- If your unit is on the eastern row of hexes, you can swap units. Roll a die. Swap your unit for whatever you roll. Swapping removes all disruptions.
1-Mauser Kar 98K
2-Panzerfaust
3-Wehrmacht Veteran Infantry
4-Sandbagged MG Team
5-MG42
6-Panzer III Ausf. F
If you got a worse unit or the same one, you still must swap.

I’ll have more in the next post.

American Units 
Always go first
During movement roll for each unit and check the table. Americans never move backwards.
4’s are 1’s
5’s are 2’s
6’s are 3’s

Rolled……Move where
1…Directly forward
2…Left
3…Right
During combat, on a 1-3 see where the unit moves by checking the table. On a 4-6, attack the closest unit. If I can’t attack, roll again.

ROUNDS
Each round ends when all the Americans are killed. There is 1 turn in between rounds.
SWIMMING
Some Americans will be swimming. When swimming, they must take the most direct route to the beach. The Americans will swim unless you have a Higgins boat. Units that are swimming cannot attack, the defense is halved, and die if they get disrupted.

The player needs to survive as many rounds, or waves, of American soldiers landing as possible.

Map: Juno 3 The word Juno should be in the northeast corner. You can find the map if you type in axisandallies and then a dot and then com. Then go to downloads.

German setup is anywhere on the beach or shellholes.
Wehrmacht Veteran Infantry
Pillbox

I will show the American setup in the next post.

I just got Hearts if Iron 3 today. It’s a good game.
I played until October 3rd. I took Poland by 16 September, Luxembourg by 21 September, and Belgium is about to fall. I am trying to execute the Schlieffen Plan. I haven’t declared war on the Nedtherlands yet.

I’ll correct them now.

Sort of. The only world war 2 card game I’ve seen is Blitzkrieg.

It’s a collectible minis game so if you want a balanced force, then yes.
