The amtrac actually saw more and more use in the Pacific as the war went on. The Higgins had trouble getting stuck in the coral, and the amtrac offered exit in the rear of the vehicle instead of the door lowering in the front.

@Cmdr:

Could the tank be landed on a continent the next round and it’s movement fully utilized again?  If the island is a way station…

I was thinking about that while typing my response. That’s a glass half full, half empty situation. On one hand you’re not getting a tank until at least two rounds later because movement on the transport, but you can also look at it as getting a “free” tank to move with your latest purchases. Of course, that’s only if the orgin or the final destination on a continent of the transport is one turn away from the island you are attacking.

@mantlefan:

Could the tank be used somewhere where moving it 2 is useful in the forseeable future? Or is it just a 3a 3d unit in its usefulness to you?

That’s the big one for me when going after an island under your situation. You pay a little more for tanks, for one, because of its extra movement, and then it gets stuck on the island. It’s not like it would be a bonehead move to use a tank, it’s really not much difference as others have said, but if you got a frontline somewhere else on land the tank would be more usefull there than going after the island.

I don’t mind explaining them either, that’s why I wrote the passages out.

Spring 1942 is my first edition as well so I come here looking for help all of the time, though I usually triy to find the question in another post before asking it myself, so I’m not trying to turn people away or anything.

I don’t understand how he can explain the rule in one paragraph, then ask the same question about it a few graphs later, and I guess all I was really getting at is it sounds like another reading of the rulebook would do him a lot of good.

I’m not saying that it expalins everything perfectly, but with how many times he mentioned clarity of the rulebook it sounds more like he jumped into the game without the instructions and is asking for help along the way. It just doesn’t sound like he read it to me.

First, there is :
“I copy that it produces units equal to the number circled in the territory it is in. That being 10 in Germany 8 each in Tokyo and London.”

Then you ask:
“If you have an industrial complex in territories that the circled numbers total say 15, do you only get 15 units to place on the board that turn even if you could “afford” 20 according to IPC total on the sliding chart? In plain language do the complexes limit the number of units produced vs what you could afford from the treasury?”

Doesn’t sound like you copy. As Zhukov44 said earlier, the rulebook is actually pretty clear in all your questions.

Step 3. Attacking Units Fire (Land and sea battles)
Role one die for each attacking unit with an attack value that did not fire in step 2 (step 2 involved submarines surprise attack).

Step 4. Defending units FIre
Defending units roll one die for each unit with a defense value that did not fire in step 2.

Mobilize New Units
Restrictions on placement
For each IC, you can mobilize only as many units as the IPC value of the territory containing the IC. The limit includes units mobilized in sea zones adjacent to the IC. For example, the German player can mobilize 6 units in the Southern Europe territority.

Place land units and bombers only in territories containing eligible ICs. Land units can’t start play on transports.

Place sea units in sea zones adjacent to the territory containing eligible IC. New units can enter play in a hostile sea zone. No combat occurs because the Conduct Combat phase is over.
Place fighters in territories conatining an IC controlled from the beginning of your turn, or an aircraft carrier owned by your power in a sea zone adjacent to a territory with such an IC. The carrier may be either a new one currently being placed, or an existing one already in place. You cannot place a new fighter on a carrier owned by a friendly power.

Answers all of your questions and is right out of the rulebook.

She said three units added. She’s right. The UK had one AA gun, and got three more added for a total of four.

Sorry to interupt the pissing contest.

Been watching “The Last Days of WWII” on Netflix. Covers the last 26 weeks of the war.Goes into a little further detail about minor battle you don’t hear much about, but, as the title implies, it’s only the last six months of the war.

Without trying to give too much away to someone who sounds like they want to learn the game by playing it, all I’ll say is try to get him to have to spend some of the US resources on the other side of the map.

Why would he believe it if you printed it out on word if he hasn’t believed you up to now?
How does he even know how many he had to begin with?

I’m with JimmyHat and Bischoff, I don’t think he’s going to believe you no matter what, and he seems to have an agenda with wanting the extra pieces.

Just from your list the only units you have a complete set for are crusiers and strat. bombers, which also happen to be two of the least used units in the game. Something sounds fishy with your friend.

Look up one of the two games on boardgamegeek.com.

I’m pretty sure one of them (if not both) have a file for piece counts on the page.

Making units obsolete/worthless is what I was getting at in my post. I don’t think that’s exactly the case, but it can sort of make it a speciality item, and I’m not sure if the incomes are high enough for that. Not sure if I’m wording this write either.

Reading what you wrote about the late war carriers, maybe you could make the rules time related. Meaning they are like automatic technologies that appear after a certain round and just replace the older ones. All infantry gets those bonuses with movement and everything, and still costs 3 IPC, after the 5th round maybe. Fourth, even.

I don’t know. I like the idea (especially the mech inf), but it’s hard to implment.
