Germany's wolf pack option rule

@Mork:

isee… well you made your point on the navy issue.

thanks for the input on the different q’s. now about LHTR, is there a place were these rules are entirely laid out? what are the main differences? why would you use LHTR as opposed to original rules?

There are various minor ajustments to the rules in LHTR that make them a bit more fair or logical.
Fighters have to end their turn on the spot they end up after the turn ( in box rules they can be put on a carrier of the coast )
Some NA’s are tweeked so they are a bit more inline with the rest ( US bombers where just 2 powerfull in box rules )
Techs are applied after your turn to avoid sea-lion kinda things.

Think that sums it up pretty much but read the rules i might have missed a change or 2.

The only difference is that you’d be forced to hold off one turn.  No biggie.  5 Bombers is 15 IPC you’re down anyway, and since it’s going to take at least a round to get into position, waiting 1 round for units to save up is nothing.

BTW, the Flames dicey is screwed up on rolling the damage.  They say attacker does 3 all the time, defender does 2 or 3.  I already notified them it needs to be fixed to come into accordance with the actual description of LL SBR.

Ok thanks for the info TRIHERO.

Gencon takes place in Indianapolis IN, from 8/16-8/19.

Several board game and minis tournaments…

Still time to plan and go…

thanks for you’re help

My purchase and exact unit allocation will depend on Russia’s move and how it went. I prefer to build only land units on G1. If I’m able to stack Karelia or Ukraine, I’ll build 2-3 tanks. No matter what, here’s what I attack in no particular order:

1. Gibraltar Battleship: sub, 3-4 fighters
2. Karelia: minimal force or full stack, depending on counterattack
3. Egypt: 2 inf, 2 tanks, maybe a fighter, bomber
4. East Med Destroyer: battleship, loaded transport, fighter

If Russia attacked Ukraine or Belorussia, I will always counterattack. An attack on Ukraine changes where I play my fighters. Attacking West Russia on G1 is a risky play that I’ll only consider if Russia had really lousy dice.

@Cmdr:

Some interesting, but not personally attempted, strategies include a US IC on Brazil on Round 1 pumping out at least 2 units a round for America to send into Africa.

its my standard USA play 🙂

I should have gone heavy against Russia from the start with Japan, not go mess around n Canada to put even more brakes on US…

But im on the way… and Russia can´t take India if you want to keep Cauccasus…
