A little question about national advantages

I tried to delete this topic but I guess I can’t.  Mods please delete this topic.  I’m going to ask my questions in the G40 boards, as it seems like that is probably the better place to ask my questions as they pertain to specifically G40

Thanks for the answers. Our first play was a lot of fun. And was a totall victory for me :evil:….

Welcome to the A+A boards, BigKahuna!

Hoping that you have your answers already, but here goes:

1.  Strategic bombing raids (SBRs) ONLY attack the industrial complex of a territory, not the units therein.  If your game is playing without fighter escorts (optional rule decided by players ahead of time), the defender gets to roll his AA gun for each bomber SBRing the territory (killing a bomber for each 1 rolled), and that’s it.  If you’re playing with fighter escorts, check the errata to see how many shots the defender gets for the fighter(s) stationed ONLY in the industrial complex’s territory.  Surviving fighters don’t get to bomb the factory.  Other than that, the other units in the territory don’t get to participate.

2.  Usually that’s the case with this game, getting enough people to actually play a 5 person game.  Team up, of course!  Usually UK and Russia go well with the same person, sometimes I see UK and the USA by the same person.  If only two people, obviously Axis and Allied teams.

3.  Shoot, just use a pad and paper, but probably 30 of each should be more than enough.  IPCs usually in the range of 50-60 per side at their highest.

Thank you good sir.

enemy owned, but no unit present. 8-)

thx

@triforce:

I was wondering about that too.  How do you play on-line.  Do you just trust each other to honestly report rolls?

In my first games with Trihero we did exactly that… rolled real dice and posted the results.

We have switched to an online dicey though… not for any problem with honest reporting, but that it is just so much FASTER.  With real dice, we had to each be online for each half of a battle sequence… so a single battle could take several sessions to resolve (we were both often online together, so was fairly quick, but without that… a single move could take DAYS.  With a Dicey, you can (in almost all cases) do an entire nation’s move in one sitting.

That’s true. AA guns can move 1 space. They can even be transported. AA guns can never do a combat move though, they can only be moved around during noncombat. You can have more than one AA gun in a territory but only one AA gun fires during a combat.
