Grizzled veteran or heroes question

Im sure I’ll run into some things but that is it for now.  Thanks for your help.

I’m really enjoying playing the miniatures game.

@Gamer:

The last word is a set preliminarily titled “The Late War” MIGHT be coming out in 2012.  Wizards of the Coast, the manufacturer, seems to be winding this game down, as it is pouring resources into a new game - Angels 20 (an airplane miniature combat simulation game) seemingly at the expense of AAM.

Is that airplane game set in ww2 by chance? I’m intrigued.

Correct

I actually get it now. Thanks Ducky!…and MOTCD  :-)

@Obergruppenfuhrer:

Thank you so much! I should take it slow but it’s hard when your so hooked. I love WWII history so much that Axis and Allies is like some “dream come true” of a game to me. Love your singnature quote by the way.

Learn to play online with us in the play by post forum.

Thank you for the invitaion. I’m working a lot this week but come this weekend, I’ll make time for that. Sounds wonderful!

LMAO,

what the hell is the point of leaving it there if it’s ignored?

Also with the Hero of the Soviet Union if he rolls a 5 or 6 he “ignores” the Distroyed counter, wtf do you do now? you can’t kill him because he’s already dead, It’s like he gets a free Zombie turn?!?!?!  If you can roll high you have a russian vampire running around the field. :roll:

Additionally, if you download the scenarios that you’ll find at www.axisandallies.com, they’ll actually list suggested units for you.  It makes quick, pick-up games much easier to get started.

Thanks fellas! Being new to the game allmost all information is usefull!

Here is the rule as reinforced by Avalon Hill.

The Tiger immediately disrupts a soldier unit upon entering the hex (face-up counter).  This happens before defensive force occurs in that hex.  Units with face-up disrupted counters cannot perform defensive fire.

So, in order to stop the Tiger tank from using its special ability (remember- special abilities trump the rules, as explained at the back of the starter set rule book), a soldier unit must employ its defensive fire while the Tiger is in the adjacent hex.  Most soldier units don’t have enough attack dice to equal the Tiger’s frontal defense of 7, so the Tiger will have no problem moving into the hex.
