Questions: Bombing Raid, Less then 5 Players, and Money

@CWO:

@Warhawk77:

Starting to play more and I was wondering do all the box sets have the game pieces in the same scale?

The short answer is “mostly yes”.� The longer answer is a bit more complicated.� From game to game, A&A sculpts have generally been on the same scale when you compare units belonging to the same unit class; in other words, specific sculpt X will generally be the same size no matter which game it comes from.� Within each class, however, scales can vary; for instance, the Yamato and Iowa battleship sculpts are roughly the same size, even though in reality Yamato was much bigger than Iowa.� There’s even more variation between unit classes, the most extreme case being the scale of the infantry sculpts and the scale of the battleship / carrier sculpts.�

There have also been some cases of scale changes for specific units.� The British and German battleship sculpts became larger and more detailed when many of the sculpts were “refreshed” at one point.� The German 88mm sculpt went from being small (and mis-representing field artillery) to being large (and correctly representing an AAA gun), and the same thing happened to the Stuka (which originally mis-represented a fighter rather than a dive bomber).� And note that the ANZAC infantry sculpt is somewhat notorious for being rather large compared with other infantry units.

Reading the reply I see I should have asked the question better. I should not have used the term scale as the pieces are different scales compared to each others but you fully understood what I was trying to say so thank you.

I will point out I had never thought about the different types of planes and guns that the sculpts are until you pointed it out so now I will have to go thru my games and compare them all.  :-D I know I’m helpless and get sidetracked very easy maybe a little ADD on my part, but what else would I do tomorrow?

Thanks Again

You are correct Carolina :-)

AKA it’s next to useless.

Yeah, I finally noticed and was like… “Thats weak!” Eh, oh well… My jet fighters are good to go tho.

It would be good in later games. Free Industry repairs!

If your’s attacking the capital, you wouldn’t want to SBR, 'cause the IPC’s will be yours after the takeover.  If attacking a non-capital IC, go ahead, as it depletes your enemy’s IPC’s.

Both moves are legal, the first just wouldn’t do you any good. :-D

Sometimes you only have one unit to move to somewhere else SSG Rock.

If you have 10 ARM and want to transport them all on the same turn you will require 10 transports. You may load those 10 TRN with 10 INF as well but as mentioned you are not required to do so.

according to the operations manual page 30 the transport may carry any land unit and a infantry… so i don’t reckon that you could carry two arts… unless your using a diffrent set of rules… or updated ??

but then again it seems every set has its own rules… slightly diffrent from the last set…
could be you transports may only carry two men… or a tank if its 2nd edition…

I’m pretty sure you can only have as many ICs as were in the game, and that I can’t help you with, I’ve had a couple games and mixed up the pieces.

There’s a small empty hollow in the middle of the plastic tray that says Pacific, that were I usually store the Chinese. The Chinese board setup is on the American reference card.
