You’re welcome.

Say the Japs had DEI & Phil, and its main force is at Carol Is. Ideally if you could get 5 allied subs in range you could spread them out in 5 different sz all at once costing Jap $ (8-10 ipc) and forcing them to buy more DD’s to go after you. At the very least it could be a stall tactic or weaken the Jap force. Jap would need to make a choice to attack your main force w/o DD’s (cheap causalities), or leave the convoy raids in place. If Jap goes after the subs, you may have created targets of opportunity to go after.

@moompix:

They can’t hit the subs, or be hit by the subs. So, what would be the point?

just a question dude.  maybe some new thing with the whole “scramble” thing.

The Dutch government is in exile, the british are merely reaching out to their european comrades, and thus can collect the Dutch IPCs if they occupy these islands.

Having japan have to take them first makes no sense

and if they started in allied hands, what would UK do for its first 3 turns……ummm…build infantry some more?  :roll:

ty dinosaur.

as far as who is John Galt, i am not sure.  But, he has his own boulevard here in Omaha.  :-D

@Omega:

I filled a complaint and hopefully this will be fixed for future game

Robert

The complaint will be handled by the same people that handle the emails. What needs to be done is everyone should send an email stating that they will not purchase another AA game until they get a few more Japanese tac bombers. They will either listen and follow through with sending the pieces or it will make Larry look for another publisher to handle the production of his games if he wants to keep putting out games under that name.

@katfishkris:

i have chance to buy GC for twenty bucks, brand new.  is it worth it?  i have never played GC.  played pacific, europe, and d-day, enjoyed them all, till AA50 came out.  AA50 is all  i play now.  so should i buy GC for $20, if nothing else but for the pieces?

Any A&A boardgame is a bargain at $20. I’ve had a lot of fun with Guadalcanal.

No tanks though as far as ‘pieces farm’ goes.

Woo hoo!

Finally got one right (before Krieghund!!!).

Good point commander!

@Imperious:

naval radar developed only insofar to made surface naval units aware that air units or ships were coming up or near.

Now that’s what I’m talking about! 
Now does that early warning should merit any bonus….  :?
There’s the question.

@Imperious:

I don’t think the game should include rules of sighting or locating ships by way of search rolls and modifiers for some kind of technology for locating them. We tried this in AARHE and it was too tedious ( version 2.0 i think)

Agreed. I wouldn’t want to add more rolls to the process… except that ASW thing but that’s another thread.

thanks krieg

Pact of Steel (PoS) is really good.
much better than Revised (IMHO). It makes a ‘shorter’ AA50
I would love to see a PoS with AA50 subs, trannies, and tech rules

They they have some other “monster” versions of the game that are too big, long, and complicated (if I want to walk the walk to a much longer game I would simply jump to War in Flames)

@katfishkris:

i dont think china really had 15inf.  more like 6-7.  but those 6 or 7 inf wanted to attack manchuria,  which had something like 3arm & 2inf.  the US wanted to use their long range heavy bombers to blast the japs first, followed by the chinamen to take the IC.  wasnt sure what the rule was on that ‘combined’ attack.

That’s still a lot of Chinamen.  I’m lucky if I have 2 or 3…hehe.  Seems a risky proposition to use your Heavy bombers, the Manchuria IC is useless to the allies.  Depriving it to Japan could be usefull, and might be worth sacraficing a bomber.  All depends on what else was going on.

@Battlingmaxo:

as an aside abattlemap is incorrect on  AA50 42 setup….it lists dd and trn for sz1; game lists ca and dd

I read from my setup card: 1 Cruiser, 1 Transport for SZ 1 in the 42 szenario.

Anyway the setup of ABattlemap AA50 42 setup is wrong in SZ1.

I added this issue to the Modules-thread. Thank you!

you can reinforce territories taken in cm during ncm with land units

@FAQ:

Q. If I have the Increased Factory Production development, is the maximum possible damage inflicted on my
industrial complexes by strategic bombing raids and rocket attacks increased along with their production
capacity?
A. No. The increase in production capacity is an increase in the efficiency of your industrial complexes, not their size.
For this reason, the physical target of bombing remains the same, so the amount of damage that can be done doesn’t
increase. The amount of damage that can be done is based on the IPC value of the territory, and that doesn’t change
when you get Increased Factory Production.

Another thing I have used, take a few digital photos of it.

need some one to play.  my first PBF so patience would be great.  have aa50 mod for abatllemap,  prefer either scenario, 41 o 42, NOs on, tech on, no LL.
