Hi to all
I played a few times with A&A, especially G40
I was recently thinking about the importance of generals in WWII, somehow inspiring and leading their troops, with some special abilities.
Therefore i thougt about the following:
The possibility to purchase generals, with certain abilities and giving extra advantage to some units, in certain scenarios.

Here the list
Germany

Rommel. Role / Army. Give extra power when linked to armors (+1) to one armor unit. The unit attack at 4, instead of 3.
The rule apply only if the general is linked to one specific armor. Only in North Africa or Russia Goering. Role / Airforce. Give extra power when linked to bombers, either in SBR or combat. Give + 1 in attack, only to the one bomber to which is linked.
Apply only to UK, France and Russia

Italy

Graziani. Role / Army. Give extra power to armor attack, same like Rommel. Only apply in North Africa Riccardi. Role / Navy. Give extra power to Battleship only, and only in mediterrenean sea (+1 for battelship) AS ALTERNATIVE Valerio Borghese, linked to submarine. Give extra power for attack in mediterranean only, It would resemble the XMAS who caused a lot of trouble to UK in the period
Subs in mediterranean sea attack with 3

Russia

Zukhov; Vasililevskiy; Role / both Army. One to infantry, one to armor. Give + 1 when attaking with tanks, or +2 when attaking infantry, but only against Germans or Italians. No ability if used against Japan

Japan

Yamamoto. Role / Navy. Give extra power when linked to a battleship (same like Riccardi) Kuribayashi. Role / Amry. Give extra power when linked to armor (+1); or infantry (+2)
Advantages apply only on pacific theater

USA

Patton. Role / Army. Give extra power to armor (+1), only in europe war Nimitz. Role / Navy. Give extra movement (+1) to both planes on the Cruiser with which is paired. Apply only on pacific theater MacArthur. Role / Army. Give extra power to armor or infantry (same like Kuribayashi). Can apply both pacific or europe

UK

Montgomery. Role / Army. Give extra power like MacArthur. Apply only in north Africa and Europe. Mountbatten. Role / Navy. Give extra power to battleship, only on Euope map (i.e. atlantic and mediterranean)

France

De Gaulle. Role / Army. Give extra power to infantry only. Only apply to north africa, or after France is liberated, only in Europe and only against Germany

Cost for generals, 12 IPC (10 ???)
One general is linked to one unit only, and attack together with that unit.
When purchased, the general is linked to a unit on the map, related to his ability role (i.e. Navy, Army, Airforce)

If the unit is lost during the attack phase, the general is lost (dead).
If the the unit, paired with the general, is lost during defense phase, the general is captured, and “jailed” in the capital city of the enemy who won the battle.
The general can be freed if the capital city is conquered / liberated
Each general can be purchased only 1 time. Generals do not have any attack or defense power, nor movement allowance, but they get the movement, attack and defense value of the unit they are stacked to

Update to 2.74

Change Log:

2.74 12/6/23
Fix “fighter_LR” Tech Units not showing up. They no longer work with Technology but still need a tech image, otherwise they throw a error.

Game Notes for 2.6 prerelease are now located under the Help tab.

@IronWill:

So, I canÂ’t see the images in the original post.  All I see are Photobucket meter images.  Apparently the download limit or bandwidth limit or something has been exceeded?  Or some other problem?  Anyone have an idea what the problem is?

IÂ’m curious as to what the Larry Harris quote is in one of the images.  Can someone share the quote?

Photobucket screwed us all by starting to charge about $40 a month to post pictures on 3rd party sites - a service that has been free for years. It’s a shame but I’m not paying for that.

Larry’s quote says something like “I must point out that I encourage the use and implementation of house rules”

Watching crockett’s video now

figured I should let people know this is playable on the New UHD Map. :)

Has anyone played this in a while? I think its really balanced and could be a good “in between” for AA50 and AA40 players. It came out right before AAP40 ( AAE40 came out another year+ latter).

@hbg Interesting :upside_down_face:

I am searching for a file of the A&A1942 sec.ed. map to get my own enlarged version of it printed.

Can someone help me?

Thanks!!
