If your opponent uses planes to attack a territory with an AA gun, does that AA gun only fire once, like a Battleship, or does it fire during each round of combat??

Yes, that’s what he was referring to (if I may answer for him). They can be found here, and I highly recommend them over the box rules.

@Craig:

@Cmdr:

I am too. But it’s nice to read some of the writer’s REASONS they made the changes. Though, since Larry did sign off on them, I never questioned their validity - especially since AAMC, FoE, DAAK and AA.org have all adopted them as the primary rule set.

Larry did more that just sign off on the LHTR. He has always been actively engaged in the discussions on all the topics.

Changes have been made because he wanted them made, but he has also accepted the arguments of others as valid for other changes. It has been a very fruitful exchange of thoughts and ideas.

Craig

I didn’t mean to imply that he took a passive role in the creation of the rules. (ie just signing them.) I mean that he agreed to the rules BY signing them. I’m sure he argued his case, looked at the evidence, and made decisions as well.

I think we could probably devote a whole board to the sub rules. I think in Classic (bot many games of Classic under the belt went to that backwards via Europe) subs could come into a zone, shoot, and leave without being shot at. Not sure on that though.

Our problem was we were not conducting opening fire every round that subs were still on the battle board. We would have opening shots then treat them just like any other naval units.

The sub rules are different in all four versions of the game with subs that much I’m very clear on. The sub rules for Revised I’m very clear on because I think they are the cleanest.

As does the AA upon taking it.

But, unlike the IC, the AA can be moved, and on the second round of “control” the owner of the AA can move it elsewhere.

The rule for holding VC’s is that at teh end of the US’s move (the complete turn of play) X number of VC’s are controlled by one side or the other.

8 VC’s is basically an Axis win (except in very special cases like a 2 turn limit test game where Russia goes suicidal in defense of the Allied VC’s)

Instead of 8, play for 9 for victory.

When one side or the other controls 9 VC’s at the end of a turn, then there is basically no doubt as to what side won.

If you get any argument, just remind them that you cannot NCM land units that participated in a battle that turn, and that AA unit, whether it fired or not, was an enemy unit that participated in the battle. :-)

or you could play World at War 2005 where all these problems are solved.

A/A guns can roll up to 3 dice per combat round and may not fire more than one die at each attacking aircraft. More than one A/A gun can be used in a territory. They fire just like any other normal unit. They can also be used as Anti-tank guns and casualties.

Oh yeah, defending and attacking fighters exchange fire for one round against SBRs. Fighters accompanying an SBR have a range of 6. They also have a range of 6 if they do not participate in combat that turn. A/A guns can fire for one round during the SBR and normally in a normal attack in the same turn. SBRs can damage/destroy factories, so the stakes are higher. Factories can be repaired but if they are not, certain penalties apply. For instance, if you hit well enough, you can prevent the factory from putting out tanks, A/A guns, ships and/or aircraft. You can also bomb runways and limit the amount of defending fighters able to defend against SBRs. In short, you can actually have a real Battle of Britian. One more way World at War is superior.
