Bombers transporting infantry

I use a bit different set up in my games. Bombers do well at strategic bombing while still keeping other options.

inf 1/2/1 3Pu AA
art 2/2/1 4Pu AA +1 attack bonus to infantry
arm 3/3/2 5Pu AA blitz

fig 2/2/4 5Pu 2 air at 3 air def
bom 2/1/6 6Pu 2 air at, strategic bomber

sub 2/1/2 4Pu
tra 0/0/0 5Pu
des 2/2/2 6Pu
cru 3/3/2 9Pu AA bombard 3
car 1/2/2 12Pu AA
b.s 4/4/2 16Pu AA bombard 4 2HP

trench 0/1/0 3Pu 2HP, repair, only one can be placed per territory per round.

@regularkid:

not to nitpick, but to maintain consistency with the OOB rules, I would keep it so that sAirbases and Navalbases are considered fully operational if they have 2 or less damage. Making it different amounts of damage for different functions introduces needless complexity. Just my two cents.

You’re right, why add complexity if not needed…

**-Cruisers and Battleships may pick up and drop off 1 infantry unit each during the non-combat movement phase only.

-Operational naval bases may mobilize 1 transport unit each during the mobilize new units phase.

-Operational airbases may launch 1 infantry unit each into a hostile territory 3 spaces away during the combat movement phase.**

Maybe they could get a single premtive attack in land combat like a sub (AA gun preventable of course). This simulates bombing before an operation. However I think that adding completely new rules for air units would be interesting.

Tanks are definitely not as good of a buy as they used to be. I think 2 infantry is a much better buy.

the cost of building bombers to deliver 1 infantry to a battle is too much to suatain during the early rounds, unless a game would go for around 20 rounds or more i could not entertain the logistics, the longest game that i played went on for 9 rounds top’s

for AA50 i have developed this. My feeling is the map has alot more territories, and it would take longer to play because of this. To facilitate a quicker result this was playtested and works.

Strategic Movement:

Each player’s capital territory has a value equal to half its IPC value, which can facilitate additional movement of a players land forces. Every time the Home territory is bombed by SBR the total movement of Strategic Movement is reduced one point for every 2 points of damage to the home factory.
    For example: Germany has 5 SR points because it has a 10 IPC home territory. If it was bombed for 5 points of factory damage, you could now only move 2 land units by strategic redeployment.

Procedure: after placement move one land unit a total of 2 additional spaces for each SR point. Units moved can be newly created units or units involved in combat or any unit whether it moved already or attacked. Units can even move across one sea zone to another controlled territory as long as you control the sea zone with one warship.

Repair of damaged factory also changes this value depending on current damage or investment for repair.

They are the same. IN United States they are sold under “old glory” or “command decision” 15 mm

Skytrex has them as well.

It really comes down to size of order. Skytrex will sell you them with free shipping as long as your order is about $300+
(you may have to ask for the free shipping by email before placing order–-say you want to place an order for $300 bucks and can you get free shipping)  The free shipping is not found on the site.

The price per bag of 50 Infantry is about $14-15 range, plus you need the washers to support the base, and a bottle of glue.

Not bad, but I think that infantry includes all that (officers, snipers etc…) when they roll their regular die.
