Retreat - and Distribution of retreating pieces

No.  Air units have different retreat rules.  They stay in the contested space until noncombat movement, then they move up to their remaining movement allowance (whatever movement was not used in combat movement) to a friendly territory or carrier.  Also, air units cannot establish a retreat route for land or sea units.

I believe Hobbes meant SEu.

Voted.It is going to be a close one between the Yaks and HMS Prince of Whales i suppose…I voted both :)

The only problem with ziplock bags is that they don’t look nice  :mrgreen:

@ragnarok628:

wait, so the number of pieces DOES limit how many ICs can be on the board?

No. The only edition where the number of existing pieces limited the number of units you could have on the board was on Classic, in the booklet that came with the rules addendum.

Buy another game. That’s what i did. Proud owner of 3 1942’s.

Did you print one of IL’s maps to use that many pieces on?

Yes. My buddy printed one at his work.  Turns out his brother has some crazy printer that is 80" wide at his work.  Trying to find out about that.  I play on a ping pong table at times so i can have a crazy big map.  I’m looking for a map that combines the new Europe/Pacific together so I can play that on a massive map.  Although that will get expensive to buy units for those.  The rule is no plastic chips unless absolutely necessary (crowded territories is the only exception but that comes up rarely).

Nice. That is a big printer.

You can retreat from an attack regardless of how many moves your unit has left. It has been that way since Classic. It effectively adds 1 movement for the attackers but defending planes can also move 1 to land on a territory if their carrier has been sunk.

One of the best examples is for G to have a big tank stack on Caucasus and the Allies move a large force to Eastern Europe. You hit EE with units for G and the tanks from WR and afterwards you retreat back to Germany. And all of a sudden Germany gets a lot harder to take by the UK/US.

I just ordered that thing. Its awesome!
