5 player game

(Though it has been known to act up at time)

Can we get rid of Airbourne troops? That rule is annoying.

it’s ok with me, with or with out it

Usually when I play, I need at least one zany rule that makes the game fun and entertaining (like paratroopers). It’s probably not going to be used often (if at all), along with a lot of the 3rd Edition rules (who in their right mind would buy extra AA guns?), but it’s just in there for kicks.

Mini, e-mail any thoughts you have for our game plan. :wink:

i’m still in.

and i like paratroopers - they actually force one to leave garrisons. and you are actually forced to pay attention to areas not on the frontline which often leads to superior play… aas long as you remember that the rule’s in place…

how are we doing 2 hit BBs?
-a&a:e/a&a:p style? ie first hit is automatically repaired at the end of battle…
-or, 1st hit must be repaired and the BB is weakened in some way until it is…

Actually, BBs are repaired at the end of the turn in AAE/AAP.

i guess the paratroopers can stay, thats 3-2 majority rules.

so can we get started

hmmm… it does seem to say that… but we’ve assumed that it meant the end of a player’s turn, not a full game turn… in AAE/AAP it’s almost a moot point… although i suppose if it could come up if attacking a once submerged sub or newly placed unints while your ally is still in the sea zone… actually, as the axis start the game turn in both AAE/AAP, only once submerged subs would be an issue… or multiple attacks on an axis navy… sorry, i’m babbling - just thinking out loud…
we should perhaps agree on timing before play…

You people better be posting updates of the game every once in awhile! (cuz I’d like to know how it progresses :smile:)

i meant the timing of the BB repairs. will we do it at end of player turn or game turn…

I don’t know, in a lot of ways, I’m much more familiar with BBs never repairing (as in the CD-Rom version of the game). 2-hit BBs are already an advantage so self-repairing BBs almost make these behemoths unbalanced. Oh well, better stop ranting, self-repairing BBs are actually an advantage for the Axis! :wink:

“i meant the timing of the BB repairs. will we do it at end of player turn or game turn…”

The best way that I use to seperate between player turns and game turns is to use “turns” to represent player turns and “rounds” to represent game turns. Guess the designers never thought of it.

TG Moses VI, are you getting my e-mails?

You sent? Koo, I’ll check it first thing! I’ll be sure the replay!
