HISTORICAL BOARD GAMING HAS NEW FORTIFICATION PIECES!

One idea I had that is similar to this is to play each of the Theatre games (Guadalcanal, Battle of the Bulge, D-Day) and then have the winner of those sub-games gain some advantage the following Global Session, at the appropriate juncture in the game.

So if Japan wins Guadalcanal, you put Japanese units and ships there, either at game start, or later, and if the US wins, vice versa
The winner of Dday gets bonus units before/after first atl landings
b o b winner gets help defeating/protecting Germany

Only problem is these games are sorta wonky and I don’t have B.o.B.

@crusaderiv:

No. In fact i’m talking about historical accuracy battle.
If you make war you start with your strongest force.
Germany, USSR and later the Allies, used the tanks, planes and artillery to start the battle not with the infantry.

It really doesn’t make a difference as far as rules go. All defending units get to return fire regardless. If you’re assigning casualties i.e. tank vs tank etc. That would be incorrect. Except in the case of some naval units, the defender may assign hits to whatever unit they choose and may return fire.

I may not be understanding what your concept is. Please explain. If I am assuming you correctly you need to read through the rules again and it may give you a clearer idea of the combat sequence.

I’m not trying to be rude. I think your post could be a bit more descriptive. It will help people answer your question better.

I completely agree. But that isn’t what he said.

And the House(hanger) has a very small “footprint”, about the same size as the base of an Infantryman, only square instead of round.

It’s simply a choice. No space used and a “Symbol”,……OR
A tiny space used by a more 3-dimensional representation. Pick whichever one you like.

“Tall Paul”

“Build” is misspelled in the Russian box.  Just in case it got missed and/or has not gone to print yet.

Well then, it looks like I will be placing a new order next week as well.

The best solution to the problem is to download TripleA. The above link will let you do exactly that. Not only will this engine allow you to play Larry Harris maps, it also allows you to play a good selection of player-created maps. Some of them are significantly better than any of Larry’s maps, at least to me. (Including New World Order, Rising Sun, and Domination 1914 No Man’s Land.)

You start Taliking about 1960’s games, I start thinking about my Favorite Aircraft ever.

The Huey Gunship.  mmmm……
I also love the idea of flying all around werever I please and Pooping out Grunts everywhere.
Air Cav. Is Awesome. I like more then Paratrooper Regiments.  :evil:

Those Jolly Green Giant Choppers were cool also, But F’ing Ugly

So a Chopper Unit is a Must!. or at least available as a tech.

This map could be managed to allow an Axis & Allies game:

The original game is Moscow Attacked! Its a free game.
