Anybody interested in developing a 1940 or 1943 set up?

@sparky660 Welcome to the forum :smile:

In case of a sucessful roll you return all tokens to the bank. In case of a failure you keep them (rulebook, page 11).

HTH :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks Panther. I read that last night and it didn’t register. I re-read it just now and it’s rather obvious, I don’t know how it confused me.

@Private:

Anyway - with that help and my brother’s print business this is what I have ended up with. Fantastic!

It looks awesome, enjoy gaming  :-)

Look above  :wink:

Thank you for the reply.  We have always been playing this way, so it was nice to confirm that it was the right way to handle withdrawals.

Gee, thanks guys!

i was going to make a similar russian national advantage for A&A 50 for russia

Scorched Earth:
The Russian player may decide to, in combonation with normal defense, assign units to scorch earth. The defending units roll to hit normaly, at their attack value instead of defense, allocating hits against the territory itself. For each successful hit reduce the IPC value of the territory by 1 during the next collect income phase.

Example, germany attacks Ukrane with 6 tanks, there are only three defending russian infantry, they stand little chance, so two are assigned to scorch earth……the other defends normaly. They roll a 2 for defense and a 1 and a 5 for scorched earth. The germans lose a tank, and during their collect income phase the Germans only get one for Ukrane instead of two

Crazy idea…but interesting

so the game should go for how many rounds? 6, 7, 8?

i think 7 or 8

@Driel310:

To add to that, putting in an extra DD in SZ15 makes a shitload of difference since Germany is now unable to attack Egypt on G1, making life hard on Italy as you described.

Of course you have all the liberty of the world to guess the correct setup as we don’t know the whole true one, but this change is so big impact on game balance is very substantial.  :wink:

p.s. trust me, if Japan wants, India will fall on J2. Only the Russians can prevent that, but I doubt they can spare the troops.

Did you play it with this DD in SZ 15?  When did you take egypt?

I am not shure to sacrify the german bomber for a landing operation in turn 1…

No we did not. We used the R9 version of the map Bluestroke made. We believe that is the only setup that has some basis, the pictures from GenCon. Any changes to that setup (although we got confirmed there are some) are pure speculation.

And unless you are unlucky, Germany should not push the Egypt attack until the bomber dies too.
