1. When battleships are damaged, can they still do everything they normally do at full strength like shore bombardment and naval battles while still turned on their side?
2. When a neutral who is pro-your side joins you, can you land your planes in that territory in the same turn?
I’m a little confused on this.
Can you do both strategic bombing and a conventional land attack in the same zone in the same turn?
Can you do both convoy raiding and a conventional sea attack in the same zone in the same turn?
If so, doesn’t this violate the general rule that you cannot do two combat moves in the same zone?
15mm - sheez - you must be using jewelers tools! Very cool results.
What scale is that? It’s pretty awesome…
Well, at first I thought it would really imbalance the game to have tank defense raised to 3 and still cost 5, because, figuring defense per IPC spent, a 3 IPC infantry gives you .66 defense, and a 5 IPC tank gives you .60 defense. So infantry seems to be not that much greater. But when you take into account that for 30 IPCs infantry will soak up 10 hits, while for the same cost tanks will only soak up 6 hits, infantry is still king for defense. I could see where you might need to adjust the price when throwing in new units, though.
Thanks for the answer - from reading other posts it appears one purpose of the $6 armor was to make mech units more appealing in the global game, which 1942 doesn’t have.
I recently updated my unit prices to AA global version, but the original rules to Spring '42 say that armor is 5 IPC, 3/3/2, instead of global’s 6 IPC, 3/3/2.
I’ve been playing AA since the 80’s and still can’t get comfortable with the 6 IPC price. It just “seems like” it should cost 5 IPC.
In your gameplay experience, does AA Spring '42 play out well with 5 IPC armor? Or does everyone buy too much armor and ignore infantry? I’m asking because if it works well like it is then I’m repricing my armor back to 5 IPCs.
……and as it did not move through a different seazone neither the BB nor transport has the option to retreat unless it was joined by another naval unit that came from a different seazone that was also not hostile.
You lost me there - please explain further??
What if Germany had a BB and Tsp sitting next to the UK. On UKs turn, the other player places a new British BB and transport there in the same zone. On Germany’s next turn, if he chose to attack the new UK ships instead of withdraw, would the accompanying German transport be forced to participate in the attack also?
That’s when you really need an atomic bomb in this game. :-)
Ate those stickers or a stencil?
It is printed photo paper glued to the bottom and trimmed with a hobby knife.
OK it’s fixed….
By the way all of my BBs and CVs have this on the bottom:
I did this mainly because about 10 years ago I drilled little holes in all of them so I could stick little hit symbols in them from a travel sized Battleship game, so I needed to cover the holes!
The German ship is signalling distress! Its flag is upside down. :-D
Dang - I knew something looked weird! Back to drydock for refitting I guess.
I considered the 5/5/2 idea also except it would require a “5” area on my battleboards.
I just thought that everyone played the guitar so I wanted to play something different. They say the banjo is harder than guitar at first because you have to learn to pick it. But after you learn that it gets easier than a guitar because there are only 4 strings to learn instead of 6. (the 5th is a drone)
After I hit college I realized the banjo was pretty limited for styles such as rock-n-roll so I started learning guitar.
You do any fiddlin’ with that violin? :lol:
Badly worded on my part - the chip under the flagship on the battleboard would represent a fully operational ship. After the first hit you would remove the chip, representing the first hit that bounces off, then fight as normal.
Anyway does that sound about right or would you change the price, etc?
I’d like to add a little firepower but not sure how.
I’ve been reading old FAQs here and keep seeing Krieghund’s phrase “Subs can only be ignored during movement” - sorry but I don’t get this. What is considered movement here? Don’t you have to move to do everything?
