Fell free to contact me, if you have any questions concerning those expansions.

Hello all. Just wondering if there are any custom setup charts for the Global 1942 scenario? I have the printout but was looking for setup charts to customize what I have. Thanks in advance.

Here is the game setup as provided on Larry’s site:

Check out this link from A&A.org’s own home page, it has a pretty good global map (click the map to expand)

@mantlefan:

Lowluck (for the person who asked) is where you add up the combat value of units on each side of a battle in each round, divide by 6 (and that’s how many hits you get), and roll one die for the remainder determining whether or not to add one more hit.

For example,

6 Artillery are attacking 4 tanks for some reason

Attacker
6 Art, each has Attack value of 2.
6x2=12
12/6=2

So the attacker does 2 hits, no rolling necessary.

The defender has 4 tanks.
4 tanks, each defends at 3
4x3=12
12/6=2

So the attacker does 2 hits.

So what happens when the total is not easily divisible by 6
For example,

Attacker has
2 inf, 1 art, 3 tanks.

1 inf: 1
1 inf with artillery support: 2
1 Art: 2
3 tanks: 9 (3x3)

1+2+2+9=14

14/6 =2, with a remainder of 2.
So gets 2 automatic hits, plus they roll one die at 2 to try to get a third hit.

Thanks for the explanation.

post on the tripleA forums any questions you have, Kev is pretty good about replying.
