Sorry guys, your blds still not match for my French Fries

lol, I got my son his first gameing system this year, Nintendo DS and your probably right, but so far he is still willing to sit to the table with dad.

I haven’t followed all the re-direction of AAM marketing, shake-ups, transition of staff at Wizards, but it seems to me AAM has been relegated to the category of “out of print” and to be played only by an underground cult of die-hard fans. The only place I can seem to get an AAM game in is on this forum via PBEM.

Maybe the release of the Northa Africa sets will sell well enough to make Wizards reconsider resurrecting the Combat Zone program.

@mateooo:

here is a rules questionm
I just played a few games with gamer, and these situations came up a few times.

When does the movement occur during the assault phase?

At one point does a unit need to be able to spot for a mortar?
Heres a situation. I have the initiative. If I move a soldier during the movement phase into LOS within 4 hexes of a unit (spotting for my mortar). During the assault phase (I go first with initiative) I attack that enemy unit with my mortar (spotting with my soldier). My soldier doesnt shoot, and instead moves during assault phase, out of LOS, and thus can not be retaliated against. Is this legal?

An inverse situation is this. I DONT have the initiative and go second. My opponent has already done his attacks. During my ASSAULT phase, I move my soldier into LOS and within 4 hexes of an enemy. Can I then use that spot for my mortar?
Basically, when and for how long does the spot have to occur?

thanks
Mateooo

1.  You resolve move/attacks for one unit at a time.

2&3.  I assume you are refreing to the mortar w/ the “Improved Indirect Fire” so any unit can spot?  The special ability (having another unit within 4 hexes) must be satisfied when the Mortar’s assualt is resolved.  It doesn’t matter if the soldier moved before or after that.

@dezrtfish:

I’d have to read the specific abilities to be sure, but I believe usualy Can’t Trumps Can.  That is to say an abbility that denies a certain action trumps that which allows it.

Clear as Mud?

I can’t speak to this situation specifically but I agree with the above. Typically a “can’t do” trumps all.

I don’t play A&A Minis.

But if anyone wants a face to face for Axis and Allies Revised, PM me.

We can meet up at Neutral Ground or elsewhere in NYC.  Somewhere in Brooklyn on the N line preferred.  :-D

I’m looking for Axis and Allies Minis players in the NY/LI area…
