Hi both.
Same feeling as others – Good to see you are playing Africa via TripleA!
One minor note. I saw rolled dice for scout car supply raid and bomber collateral damage early in the game. I believe the dice roll was not needed, according to the unit characteristic in the rulebook.
Hope all is well with your development on the module. :)
And, if the combat was completed in first round (area A defender retreat or eliminated in first round), is the Scout Car required to move into area A too? or does it stay in area C?
As titled.
Consider a main force of 3 inf attacking from area B to A, with a single flanking Scout Car attacking from area C to A.
I know for sure that supply token must be spent for area B. Does the single flanking Scout Car in area C require another supply token spent to attack?
I agree with both of u.
What I was suggesting is that German can have a good control on the fate of the uk navy, even if they leave z111 untouched.
I am not sure how to relate that idea with a grand German strategy yet. And, well, I am looking to see, if any friend here may have a creative plan to go.
AA, to me, is fun in mind.
I give it a thought exercise and come up with a sample battle order.
It seems… not quite risky and z112 should be defensible with the CV build.
just a reference point to go from.
I know it is not a big issue, but I just can’t help wondering.
I read that recently a lot of folks are trying the CV 2TP buy to threat Sea Lion. Usually both sea zones are attempted and cleared in G1.
In the few other cases, it is almost always that z111 is attempted.
Then I begin to wonder why. z111 is the less mobile fleet, it can go nowhere out of range of German fleet, except z109. wouldn’t Axis wanna leave it behind, instead of leaving z110 to escape to z92?
I just wonder.

We are playing at five players , which is filled up now. If u look to play one, I can surely recommend u to them. And see if we can play later.
Or u may ask wonko n see if he wants more
we are going to have a new game started.

that’s why we have been checking up this and that so diligently. :wink:
thanks for your patience too. :-)
it’s cool that you have answered so promptly. we all have a life to live. And personally I am interested in know what the other game would be, if you don’t mind sharing. :wink:

another issue to address.
Rule II.5c. “Bomber can strategic bomb industrial complexes, air bases, and naval bases. Can transport 1 infantry per bomber and drop paratroopers. Defend in a SBR with a roll of a 1.”
Para-trooping is not related to Bombers in G40, as far as I know. In the AA franchise, the closest resemble of such rule is in Anniversary, and it is different from what is written above.
My intuitive interpretation of the written statement is as follow. Each bomber can either pick up an “Airborne” unit (see set-up chart) to para-troop it in CM, or transport 1 inf in NCM. Any territory can be choosen as the destination, as long as it is range-permitting.
Because you didn’t mention any other restriction, the interpretation implies the following few points are valid.
1.) Para-trooping Airborne units behind enemy line in CM.
2.) Transporting infantry to friendly (regardless newly captured or not) territory behind enemy line in NCM.
3.) Airborne unit / transported Infantry can be picking up and drop by the bomber in-flight. the bomber unit doesn’t have to start with them in the same territory, nor to end with them in the same territory.
4.) Para-trooping is subject to AA fire, just like any other aircrafts. after the AA fire, any survive Airborne units lands and bomber resume the normal combat role immediately.
I believe these points will be in FAQ anyway. hmmm… again, it’s my interpretation only. If it is not what you intended, amendment to Rule II.5c is suggested.
I think the most likely challenge would be disallowing the transportation of infantry to newly captured territory. the logic : one need to setup air field in new territory before the transportation, which is the reason for disallowing aircraft to land on new territory. However again and again, I leave the judgment to you.
Also, in setup-chart, I see the only German’s Airborne, UK’s Commando and US’s Airborne are related to Para-trooping. Thus, only these few countries are capable of para-trooping in CM. Right?
again, again and again… thanks for the good work. 1939 is nice idea and huge task.
