AA Gun Question

My foe was not aware of this rule.  Since my 4 fighters scored 3 hits along with my 9 attacking bombers 3 hits against all 6 of his fighters scoring hits I might suggest we redo that round!  Thanks Krieg!

If you have 10 infantry and 1 artillery attacking, you have nine rolls of 1, and two rolls of 2.

The 1 rolls are unsupported infantry.
The two 2 rolls belong to an artillery, and a supported infantry, respectively.

If you have 10 infantry and 2 artillery attacking, you have eight rolls of 1 and four rolls of 2.

@GCar:

Anyone voting DD as not understood something in naval fights.
Anyone voting bombers as not understood the value of strategic bombing on his killing target (Russia or Germany usually).
For ground units, Art is the call (if no AA guns), but the winner should be in the ships area.
I will have to say Crusers, very close to Battleships, and maybe of subs depending which side you play the most often.

i disagree… Strategic bombing is Valuable considering the OOB rules,  it applies to damage only which reduces deployment capabilities.  however, depending on the game situation, it may be far more beneficial to add 4 Inf. to your forces on either attacking or defending.  especially when you risk your bombers to AA Fire.

Russia Barely has the Money for bombers, Germany is better off with 2 more tanks or 4 Inf., Britain usually needs that money for the navy or complex/units elsewhere, Japan usually needs more naval units or another complex, USA is the only when with the non threatened expendable wealth early on for bombers…   again this does depend on the current game situation, what round, how certain battles go, etc…

but to vote Bombers doesnt mean the player doesnt understand the value… it means he purchases these units less for whatever reason…
 the only other unit i purchase in the quantity i purchase bombers is Battleships, but they are more appealing for obvious reasons and every country (except Russia) has a need for a battleship at some point.

Like Krieg wrote.

But tanks get lonely too.

Correct.

spring 1942 released August 2009 and thank you for your response and links. they are very helpful. So using the Atlantic sub on UK fleet rather than the undefended transport with  Norway fighter and bomber for the UK home fleet. I see it now. Guess i was foamin at the mouth on the unprotected trans.  thank you

If you are saying that the Allies are landing Western Europe heavily, even reinforcing with fighters when Germany can reliably kill their beachhead, then it’s probably a bad idea unless the Allies are so far behind they need Germany to get diced. I don’t go heavily into Western Europe unless I can hold it for the rest of the game or I can hold it for a turn and have enough transports that I can pull out most of my units before Germany overwhelms them.

i was thinking about that if they kept interceptors at the IC then they couldn’t use them on attack runs against you also, but yes, I believe that they choose between the attack and the SBR for defense as well.  Should they choose to intercept the SBR and then loose the territory, they would have the one move point to find a safe landing zone, such as with carriers being sunk and fighters needing to land…
