1942 Battle Board - Game Aids - IPC Chart

@aardvarkpepper Bombard casualties fire back eh? I see that in the rulebook now. That drops the probability down too far for me. Thanks for pointing that out

thanks guys i appreciate it. cant believe ive been playin the wrong way for a while now. i had units counting one to get on and one to get off in NCM. so only tanks were able to. woops lol

@drsnidely:

Hi everyone. I’m just curious what everyone uses to track your IPC since the newer editions no longer have paper money. My group has always just written it down but I never liked that. It feels like math, and I’m always forgetting to carry over the 1 or 2 IPC i didn’t spend.  Recently my girlfriend got me a set of poker chips. We tried using them in our last game and it worked great. Really easy to keep track, and I like having something tangible instead of just numbers on a piece of paper.  Plus it was quite satisfying when the Russian player handed me a stack of chips after Moscow fell.  :evil:

Just curious if anyone ever tried this and what your thoughts were.

Still have my first A&A game from 1986, so we simply use the money from that version.  We also use the white/red chips as well.  We use the grey/green/red for industrial complex damage.  That way there is enough to go around and it doesn’t get confused with each other.

“…transporters can not offload after retreating…” thanks that clarifies the situation.

Add another destroyer for the States in sea zone 11.  I believe that should bring it close to balanced.  This will allow the 2 transports to survive putting a lot more pressure on Germany earlier in the game.

@P@nther:

Where did you find the 1941 rulebook as pdf for download?
Please provide a link.

Thank you :-)

I’m mistaken. I knew I had 2 copies of the 1941 rulebook, … we played using 2 rulebooks!!  Duh, I bought two copies of the 1941 game.  There is a scanned version of the 2e rulebook available (where I do not know) but I was looking for an official pdf version that contains text not just images.

Sorry. I’m easily confused!  :|

@Most:

Thank you. I wish there were more of the UK and German artilary units. They look Awesome.

@LuckyDay:

Units look very nice, although I’m still not sold on unique pieces for AA guns, something standard for everyone.  Why not make unique IC’s for each country in mark-3, after they start making ICs again…
Still, maybe this bodes well for better Italian units in the future instead of reusing Germany’s…

I agree; I just picked up my new copy at my FNGS all the new sculpts are an improvement and the new artillery pieces are a BIG improvement visually, aesthetically, and even tactilely, if that’s a word (i.e., they have a much more solid, quality feel to them.)  I’m not sold on the new AA rules; I think I may continue to use the old light grey pieces in their original role and use the new pieces as “dual-purpose” artillery.  The idea is that they can target 1 aircraft (and/ or maybe a tank too, making them “tri-purpose” ?) if they roll a “1.”  Not that I’ve thought through all the implications yet of this new “house rule” idea yet, but it’s worth thinking about.  I’ve already tried it in one game using the old German 88’s for dual-purpose “special units” and the new HBG 105’s for regular field artillery, and it seemed to work OK.  The new pieces just give everone the same possibility (and look much better to boot!)

@Variable:

I happen to be a fully vested lemming that must buy everything with Larry’s name on it. Did my pre-order for 1 each. Bummer about getting them together is having to wait until July to get them when the second game comes out. On the plus side, added a pre-order for the new Fortress America and got free shipping on the lot. July is gonna rock and I will be buried in plastic!

That is awesome
