I hope there will be an aspect in the game that involves the native islanders and the huge contribution they made in the Pacific theatre.

I only buy enough transports to secure africa.

I was recently playing a game which had hedges in it and the other player and myself had a fight about hedge rules when it comes to line of sight. Can someone please clarify this.  Thanks in advance!

I dislike the Russians most. Its a very blunt stragety. I say be Russia if you like to get your A** pounded all game. Sorry about the language

Its cool to play just because of the plot and the setting. Its also a cool game to play when you’re bored

I don’t think Risk sucks at all. It’s a great game to play when you don’t have days to dedicate to A&A. It’s also a great game to play with family because it is easily taught

Thanks for the help

1. Is it considered, attacking the rear armour if the enemy is across from one of the sides of your tanks?

2.If a tank is shooting 1 hex (or any for that matter) away from an inf in a forest hex is his line of sight blocked bu the inf’s hex?

3. If you disturb an enemy from a defensive fire attack, can he still go ahead with attacking you? or move anymore?

4. On some unit adv/dis advs, it talks about adding attack value during an attack. Does attack values resfer to the amount of dice thrown?

5. Are cities considered road hexes since they contain roads in them?

6. The Japanese amphibious tank moves into the pond. Does this mean it can also go in a marsh hex?

On UK1 I always pull my fleet out from the Pacific to the Mediterrenian to assist in taking out the German fleet. There is no use getting your whole fleet destroyed and maybe an enemy or two when you can threaten the German naval defence.

The only case when US can have a confident surperiority is when Japan is very aggressive in Asia and the US is nearly 100% comitted in the Pacific. Even though there are many ipcs to have in the Pacific it is better to Support your allies in Euope.

I wouldn’t focus on being aggressive with the UK because of their thinly stretched lines throughtout the map. When I’m Britain, I send my middle eastern inf to india and make and aggresive assualt on north africa, while threatening western europe with fighters and transports. In my opinion, Britain is a nation which should be focussed on draining german ipcs and ensuring Russian sucess.

I just use a clear plastic tacklebox with customizable slots.

All of us A&A Battlefield 1942 players should unite and addd a prefix like <a&a>so we can identify each other in games.</a&a>

Can units shoot at an enemy unit behind another one?

Does an attack on one unit in a hex affect other units in the same hex?

On a sucessful cover roll, can the attacker resume his attack with the effected unit?

This mod is pretty demanding when it comes to unit amounts. Noobs with small arsenals (like me) wont’ be able to play.

I’m intregued by this variant sounds interesting and has a great list of units. How are you going to distinguish the units as for ex. Humvee or Delta Force

Hey I’m from Calgary! SW

Would you people say that A&A Minis is better than Warhammer?

I play Battlefield 1942 all the time. My call-sign is Geography Moyoles. Let me know if you find me!

Yes that makes sense.
Thanks

@Jennifer:

Besides, why bother building the Russian fleet???  America is in a MUCH better position to clear Africa and make Germany"s africa corps life a living nightmare leaving Russia and Brition to deal with mainland Europe.

Biggest mistake I"ve seen so far is an ultra tight focus on Eastern Europe territories and not as much on France.  If the Jerries are gunna leave the west lightly defended then take it!  At the very least you diverted some german assets from the front lines to clear a few infantry you put in France giving Russia a respite for a round or two.

I agree 100% in saying the battle shouldn’t be focussed to the East. Just today I captured France from my Dad just to drain him of Ipcs and to take strain off Russia. I’d say this is a good move because the land units in Britain are in a good position to attack considering they’re within 1 boat trip. I say this because I don’t like taking risks with full transports at sea trying to get to Africa.

In A&A Rev. You can see that Panama and the US are adjacent territories and that is also true with Mexico. Is this a mistake or did they intend on having Mexico and Panama sharing borders with various American territories?

Thank you very much!

Can someone explain how Marshalling cards work. I just got the game and the manual is hard to understand. :?
