Hello guys,
my friends and I have started to play AARHE today, and frankly, we’re enthusiastic. Great rules, kudos to the community!
Three questions cropped up on this first day which we could not resolve by reading the rules carefully over and over:
- Transports: there seem to be contradictory sections in the rules. In the section “upkeep” it says:
Upkeep in special terrain
Pay 1 IPC for … every unit occupying AP (transport) at the end of your last turn.
And then it says later on in Non-combat move:
Sea Transport
Units on AP (transport) must be loaded and off-loaded the same turn.
I guess both together do not make sense?
- With regard to building infantry the word “connected” pops up in the axis cost table:
VC connected to Capital 3
What does connected mean? IPC path? Also via convoy route?
- Rockets: They do damage like Strategic Bombing Raid within 3 spaces - if I research this as German (I need 2 boxes) I could pummel Britain with 10 dice per turn! (IC in Germany and Rome = 4 IDs, 3 ID’s in Form of AA’s and VCs in Berlin, Rome and Paris (=another 3 IDs.)
The most Britain could do would be to develop Underground factories and save 3 IPCs (Production Value for “production interruption”). This comes nearly for free for Germany, as he has all the IDs from the beginning and researching rockets with 2 free research dice is manageable.
Is this intended or did we misunderstand something?
Regards,
sponge
p.s. thanks again for the great rule set!
