Armor non-combat movement

that is a pretty bad plan

On R1, I usually buy 3 inf 3 tanks

on R2 I usually 4 inf + art + ftr

if he buys 16 tanks on G2, the game should be over, as long as you create stacks, and dont lose battles (you should never lose battles, if you do, then you placed your units wrong, or are in a no retreat scenario)

just buy like 8 inf + 1 tank or so, you should be fine on R3

Hi Prey. All Air units land in non combat and they have the balance of their  unused movement: a Fighter has 4, so if they moved 3 in Combat, then they only have 1 left. Air units cannot land in a territory that has just been captured. They could land on an empty Carrier.

@gnasape:

Have you thought of compiling all the questions and answers and having it stickied somewhere so that we can just find it and read through the various scenarios and questions that people have?

Larry’s thought about creating an on-line Q&A database, but I don’t know if it will ever happen.

@gnasape:

Also what about a 1-800-AAN-SWRS hotline number?  That way none of our games have to be stopped for a ruling.

Naaah.

@gnasape:

Not sure if anyone asked but what is your AA background?  I’m imagining a guy in white robes with flowing beard sitting in front of a computer eagerly awaiting a question.  I could be totally wrong, maybe it’s black robes, who knows.

It’s grey robes.

I’ve been playing A&A since 1984, and became the “Official Answer Guy” at Larry Harris’s site in 2005.  Since then, I’ve written the FAQs for Battle of the Bulge and Anniversary Edition, and helped write the FAQ for Guadalcanal.  I was also a playtester for Anniversary, and helped write the rulebook.  Recently, I revised the rulebook for A&A 1942.

BTW, that submarine does not become useless once the Germans lose the ability to win against the Allied navy/navies.

I like to send it to Southern Africa to ‘persuade’ Japan not to make a Brazil run, at least, force Japan to commit more to a Brazil run then what is normal and optimal.  It also keeps Japan honest by not leaving transports out there undefended.

And, finally, I’ve had a situation where Japan FORGOT the Russian submarine was down there by Madagascar and been able to attack his battleship and 3 transports with 3 fighters and a submarine. Odds are, he only gets one hit, you get 2, that’s a good trade!  Japanese transport which is useful for Russian submarine which is not so useful. (I actually got 3 hits to his 1 that time, but I was lucky.)

@Bean:

:-) Feel free to ask questions and discuss, no matter how small.

Yea, cause this entire site is designed to discuss the game!  We don’t know everything, but we can field the majority of questions.  If you wanna know what the designer was thinking, well, you’ll have to ask him. grin

@nooob:

that was the greatest soapbox ride ive seen in a long time

but in all fairness to LHTRv1.3 if you use the recommened charts and only use 1 die to determine NA’s “some”…NA’s are not over powering at all

Math envy.

Where’s my crack pipe?

It was also changed for the Hasbro CD version of A&A.  Not sure which came first… but when I first encountered it with the disk, it annoyed me.  But was good prep for Revised :-)
