Aircraft question

No worries, ask as many questions as you wish. :-D

After a consult with my friend who has a deeper understanding of the rules than myself here are your answers:

1. If unit fails movement roll it is done with it’s phase.

2. If unit is disrupted it is done with it’s phase.

3. If the commander goes first and is disrupted the rest cannot banzai/angriff as disrupted commanders lose their SA. So I would send him last.

Thanks!  That’s what it seemed like, it just doesn’t say so explicitly.

Can a spotter also spot voor arty/mortars?

The Spotter SA applies only to Aircraft.
Any units that have **Indirect Fire say so. (Currently: GE sGrW 34 81mm Mortar, SV 82mm PM-37 Mortar, US M7 105mm Priest)

Can defensive fire result in anything more then disruption?

Defencive-Fire does NOT result in a hit against the unit; it simply gives a face-up disrupted token. Having more than one face-disrupted token has no additional effect on a unit. They do not cause damage/destroyed results because They Are Not Hits.

However units can still use their Special Abilities during defencive-fire which may cause more than disruption. For example if you provoke defencive-fire from a flamethrower and it rolls three 6s, it DOES still immediately destroy the unit.

Can a disrupted vehicle change facing?

No; the rules specifically say they can’t.**

Units don’t block line of sight. When attacking you have to declare a (valid) target unit. Only units with blast will attack every non-aircraft in the hex.

“On a sucessful cover roll, can the attacker resume his attack with the effected unit?”

I’m not sure what you mean.

Attacks go as follows:
Attack declares target and rolls appropriate dice, counting successes for hits, etc.
If the defender is in cover and takes hits he does a cover roll; on a 4+ THAT attack is limited to disruption.
Procced to the next unit.

wow that map links usefull  :wink:

@KansasBoyd:

Do you play three wide by two deep

or

three deep by two wide?

We usually play the 3 wide x 2 deep… but we don’t usually have a large enough table for more than that.  I prefer the 3 wide because it spreads out the armies and allows more room for flanking.

@argarus:

yes you can. its in the rules.  look under the " Transport" in the glossary section in the  back!

Whoa! This changes everything… now I need my halftracks even more. Thanks for the info.

Changing facing doesn’t take up movement “points.”  When you get to your destination hex, you can face whichever hex side you wish.  And instead of moving to another hex, you can change facing within the same hex.

However, if you are face-up disrupted, you cannot change facing, because you cannot move.  And if defensive fire or a failed movement roll stops your movement, you must stop facing the hex you tried to enter.

For the exact rules wording, go to the Avalon Hill webpage and download the rules.
