@Imperious:
This does not belong here. Spend 3 more seconds of time and notice global has its own section.
You forgot: “and welcome to the forum!”.
Bunkers*
It says bunkers protect only one boarder. But it also says bunkers grant +1 to all defending INF.
Here is my question. Lets say a territory with a bunker is attacked from 3 sides. I understand the bunker will get 2 defense rolls for the side it defends against but will all defending INF get the bonus +1 on defense. If that is the case these things seems a lil too good.
There are alot of clarifications on these in the works.
See some of the other threads.
Basically, as it stands there are 2 types of Fortifications.
Type 1. Which are only placed at the start of the game - and only defend from certain locations, or certain attacks.
Type 2. 20 IPC cost, can be built anywhere, limit of 1 (Unless setup dictates otherwise) = 2 rolls at 5, and + 1 to all inf in the first round.
Thanks but that goes against what the latest PDF says about bunkers
and I quote from the new PDF
Bunker Option 1:
Cost: 20
Movement: N/A
Attack: N/A
Defense: 3 (D6), 5 (D12), 11 (D20)
Transport Class: N/A
Bunkers are strictly defensive units. They can be built in any territory that has been
controlled for one full round. These units only protect a single border, which must be specified
when placed. Bunkers do not take damage and cannot be taken as casualties. If a territory
containing a bunker is captured, the bunker is destroyed and removed from play.
When defending bunkers receive 2 defensive rolls during the first cycle of combat only.
Bunkers also grant defensive bonuses to all infantry defending the same territory giving them a
+1 (D6), +2 (D12), +3 (D20) to all defensive values for the first cycle of combat.
What version of the rules are you reading from?
The latest PDF they put up on the HBG website
…
Ok so those are “OPTIONAL” rules if you buy JUST that piece to supplement another set.
The rules that come with the Global 1939 game are as I posted above - and are different.
Ok I was just saying isn’t the new “optional” rule a lil over powered?
Yes, and no.
The limit is one… and all parties can do it.
Of course it doesn’t help when the russians drop that in Moscow with a stack of 70+ units. But, if Germany can do the same? What does it matter.
