How Many People Use the Two-hit BB in A&A?

[theduke]

I always ask everyone else what they want, 1 or 2 hit. Most of the time we end up with 1 hit but I like 2 hit better so I said yes. If there was a third choice on the poll of ‘maybe’ or ‘depends’ I would have selected that instead of yes.

[jedimaster]

yep, 2 hit is better. with 1 hit bs navies tend to disappear real freakin’ quick. so yeah we use 2 hit

Normally we play destroyers (8 IPC, Att 2, Def 2) instead. However, I prefer 2H-BBs sometimes.

[haxorboy]

it was a given when we played, just seemed weak for the battle ship to sink after one hit to us…

[cystic crypt]

i never play this in a&a,
i always play this in a&a Europe.

Aren’t two hit BBs a rule in AAE?

[dezrtfish]

I always ply 2 hit BBs even though I think its an advantage for the Allies. We alwas used to play that if a BB was dammaged it stayed that way. Then we decided that BBs should be able to go to port and be repaired for 1D6. Now we just play by the rules from revised.

Two hit BB’s are a rule in AAE I believe, and a house rule could possibly come out of this. Say that you have designated port territories where your battleships could go to be repaired when damaged. Some examples would be the German ports at Kiel and in France and then they would have the Italian ports in Taranto. Just a thought.

My first game of axis and allies was on the new board so yes I always play with two hit BB now. Even on the old board.

I try to always play with them as well - it’s a good rule. I believe it was an official optional rule with 3.0 first… not sure.
