Has anybody done like a POW camp rescue mission scenario? If so, what pieces did you use?

Para’s of any sort would be considered in my builds.  SS stormtroops have there uses.

Axis fan out

@axis4ever:

I’ve just recently purchased AA Mini’s……

I do not have barbed wire, ammo dumps and all that…

If you get those things and make an HQ does this count against your 100Pt limit?

Support units and obstacles are treated like any other units for the purposes of army building; so yes they count against the 100 points limit AND the 15 unit limit.

Thanks!

There’s two perspectives on this.  One is, as you state, extra pieces are added to initial game set-up to even the score.

Another bidding system (called the FIDA bid, initials of a number of online A&A clubs), splits the bid into at no more than 50% of the bid can be added as initial set-up extra pieces; the rest is cash to be split amongst Germany and Japan (you can give all the $ to one side if you want)

An example FIDA bid would be 15:  inf, tank in Libya (Germany), $2 to Japan, $5 to Germany.

Actually, in FIDA, this bid would not be allowed.  the Inf/tank is 8 IPC, which is more than 50% of the 15 bid.  In this example, you would be able to place inf, rtl at the most.

Whoops!!

Math error… math error.

Thanks for pointing that out.  My description says <= 50%, but my example was incorrect.
