@RisingSun I had similar experience, I was big into the naval miniatures but couldn’t afford both. I bought a lot on ebay a year or so ago and have played a few games. It is not difficult to learn especially if you are familiar with the navy side, it’s pretty similar but includes facing. I think it’s a great game and wish I had collected it some when it was active.
Ranger from reserves
-
The guy where i always play A&A against wants to buy a few rangers from reservers. My question is, is this really a spotter with the same abilities as the other spotters? Because the ranger is much stronger in defense ans offense and has close assault and a special ability.
Hope to have an answer asap.
-
Yes, they rock. They are also expensive at 7 pts per.
Note that they count as a spotter for other unit that require spotting. The range themselves have no other implied abilities from that attribute.
-
Yeah but my german spotter is also 7 point and he is very weak. Does the ranger also have the chatting on the radio and the cover ability? And if he counts as a spotter can he also move and or attack?
-
No he doesn’t have the Chatting on the Radio disability and he doesn’t have any extra cover abilities. He can just be used as a spotter for units with abilities like Indirect fire.

And he has a spot range of 8 hexes?

The “spotting range” requirement is usually listed on the attacking unit. You go by whatever it says, barring any other ruling or effect.
