Black Fox,

It doesn’t matter if you view it as light armor, or better infantry. All the pieces in this game come down their attack, defense, movement and their cost. Some pieces have special abilities that also need factored in, but they pretty much all a bunch of statistics and probabilities.

Following that, I still think at 4 IPC I would still just go ahead and buy armor. Why would I buy a piece that has one less defense and one less offensive value for 4 IPC when I can get a better unit for 5? Infantry are mostly used for either fodder offensively or for defensive purposes, but why would I rush mech infantry (2 off, 2def) to the front lines when for one more IPC I could send a tank (3 off, 3 def) and get there in the same time? Now, using your scenario of the late push, I am sending a unit that is more powerful on offense, yet also decreases the odds of my opponent strafing the units (and if he does, increases the number of units he will lose because it’s more powerful on defense as well.

That’s probably why the price of armor rose in the 1940 games.

Another point against them in my opinion is that the 1942 map doesn’t have enough spaces. With the extra territories on the 1940 maps I think it makes perfect sense. But that’s just my opinion.

I also believe that if you are suggesting a light carrier that it defend on a one. Seems more realistic that a smaller, lighter carrier would take less damage to sink and be less fortified.

I do think the medium bombers could be useful, but may need a movement reduced (less room to carry fuel maybe?) or something else tweaked.

What about giving it a movement of 3?

Most cruisers were designed for speed and range. The naval bases might eliminate a lot of need for the extra space, but could still be useful and a little more historically accurate at the same time.

That’s why he said the word Allies in his statement, not US.

Water.

Now if the questions was ‘What do you smoke while playing AA42?’, then I might have a more interesting answer. :wink:

Threatening Europe is part of it too, football. By having that be your staging area you can hit both Africa and Europe in one turn.

Give some flexibility to where you want to go.

I’ve never played with a bid, but I would think if there is one it should be small. The side doesn’t matter to me at all. I’ll play either.

Haven’t gotten to play against a person in a while, and I’ve never tried a forum game, but an itching for any game.
I gotta work the next three days (4 p.m.-midnight) so I can get started, and then I’m off Tuesday and Wednesday.

Will be playing MLB 11 The Show starting Tuesday when it comes out, but can still get a game in if anyone is interested.

Just a quick correction Hobbes. You have the UK listed twice on the 41 scenario at the end. I think you menatto put the US startes with Phillipines and Wake Island.

Also wondering if China/ANZAC means that only units can be placed in Australia because of the capital? Or is it like Global where china can place infantry in it’s two territories as well?

No problem, if you ever figure anything out post your results.

You can check out boardgamegeek for lists of the number of units that come with the games, but the units that actually get used will depend upon player most of the time. For France, you would probaly only really need the units that are on the initial setup, plus one or two backups for each.
