US starting setup - Infantry piece missing?

It is worth getting. Good luck!

@HansOop:

I think I know the answer to my own question and the answer is I have no option but to engage in dice battle and to either keep battling or retreat back to where I came from.

Right, the purpose of the Combat Move Phase is to move into hostile territories to either initiate combat (against hostile units) or just capture the territory (in case there are no enemy combat units present).

Welcome to the forum  :-)

No doubt an unnecessary clarification, but to avoid any new players getting the wrong end of the stick - fighters that start or finish at sea must have a carrier in that sz. Up to 2 fighters per carrier.

@wittmann:

Thanks Private.
I always forget the Chinese addition.

As well as what it was that happened on the date of your wedding anniversary? :-D

Don’t worry - if I beat you on 24th May I will constantly remind you of what happened! Of course otherwise I shall be glad to let you forget! :evil:

Thanks for the responses guys.  NIce to know the pieces are interchangable between games.  I have played another game since and we all seemed to make lots of mistakes.  An experienced player would smash a new person at this game.

smanifesto I will probably do exactly as you have done and get a pieces from other games.  It was getting frustrating having to constantly look for new units and swap chips around.  I’m also with you on customizing the game a bit.  We already have a house rule that battleships have to return to a factory to be repaired at the start of your next turn when damaged.

Yup, I just noted it in the article and on all the places where the photos are uploaded.

We looked for that rule and could not find it. As far as I can tell if you want 4 subs in 4 territories you can if you want. It only came up once during the purchase phase but by the end of the turn, it all worked out okay.
