The result of naval units after combat

Yeah, we are playing the new version with destroyers and guns. I’ve never played the game before last month. I came at him with a sub a destroyer and a battleship. He had a destroyer, two transports and a battleship. Luck of the dice and his desire to save his battleship ended his chances of getting anything off of Japan for a time.

kyrial, Not much on posting jpeg knowhow so you can either advise me on that or give me you email. The bottom of my copy is pretty much perfect. I can take some shots with a digital camera and you can whatever detail you’d like.

Africa will provide about 3X the ipcs each turn that India will.

And don’t forget that the African Ipcs are most likely to be German rather than Japanese. It makes a big difference to have Germany at 30-33 as opposed to 39-42. 3ipcs(India) makes little to no difference to the Japanese in the grand scheme of things. I see big problems with a Japan first strategy primary among these are that Germany can get too big and walk through Ukr, Cauc and eventually take Karelia. If there are no masses of Allied troops preparing to take WEuro/FinNor then the Allies are in big trouble even if the push against Japan is succeeding.

i just recently played a game where the chips ran out but thats just because my opponent put like 50 infantry on germany

i like a man who grins when he fights

I would, but i lose track. I’m guessing i’d have had anywhere in the 60’s-70’s in Karelia for inf.
but this is kind of a weird question.

Yeah, CC is right. The rules state you can retreat to a sea zone that does not contain enemy units. Clearly if the battle has not been resolved then there are enemy units.

A point of interest is that the defender can retreat into the sea zone from which the attack was launched provided there is no other enemy units in it.

KNOWLEDGEABLE DUDES and DUDETTES,

Artillery based AA guns – ha, brings backs memories :smile:

Of course you still have to factor in limitations at two per side or distribute them equally to both sides at the beginning of the game. Changing units stats and/or adding in new units are the surest way to expand the game into a new field of tactics and dynamics. This frees up a considerable amount of complexity and difficulty of altering the game board itself (too sticky), adding in totally new rule sets (too difficult to learn), or using dinosaurs (too extinct). Interested to learn, if anybody else has variations on different units.
