Tactics Card 10 question

@the_good_captain Yes. From page 16 of the Rulebook:

During this step, Axis land units move and patrolling Allied fighters react. Each fighter in a region rolls to strafe each Axis unit moving into or out of that zone, including reinforcements. The Axis player indicates all units that are moving, then the Allies fire one at a time against target units.

@SS-GEN said in Blockhouse Questions:

Questions.
Can the allies either attack a Blockhouse or just leave that zone with the Block house ?
If the Allies are in a zone with a Blockhouse do they have to do combat and cannot move out of zone ?
Seems to me they get a choice of moving out or attacking.

They cannot move out. Blockhouses are land units, so they are locked in combat.

Block houses get to attack at 3 against lone allies units in that zone on axis combat turn ?

Yes.

If say there’s 2 block houses in a zone with 5 allies units attacking 1 axis unit in same zone and allies get 3 hits the Block houses are destroyed along with the 1 axis unit correct ?

Yes.

Appreciate the quick replies. I was rather skeptical about buying this game due to the fact that I didnt think the card idea would be any good. I figured every turn would basically be the same and no fun would come out of it. I was wrong. I played with my son soon after I brought it home, and had a blast (even though I got whipped). I really got whipped once we used the fortune cards (I rolled too many 6’s).Anyways, I highly recommend this game. Loads of fun.

thanx again, i played a very nice game yesterday  :mrgreen:

Found this at Boardgamegeek. I don’t seem to be registered there :| so I haven’t DL’ed it but : Reinforcement cards pdf at Boardgamegeek.

@conanthelibrarian:

While I’m on here, any other of the smaller AA games (like battle of the bulge) that you guys recommend?  Im playing this with my 8 year old, and I like that he can understand and play with me.

Thanks alot.

@Krieghund:

D-Day is the easiest A&A game of all.  Battle of the Bulge and Guadalcanal are a little bit more involved.  However, if your son can handle D-Day, maybe he can handle one of those as well.  I think I’d try Bulge before Guadalcanal.  If you do, let him be the Germans, as it’s harder to play the Allies in that game.

I’d agree with this. Looking at the rules it might seem Guadalcanal is ‘simpler’ but you have to make many more “if I do this what will my opponent do,” decisions a lot faster and GCNL eliminates the reinforcement charts creating a daunting set of decisions regarding reinforcements.

If you are also new to BOTB playing the Allies will be a good handicap for you as it is tougher to play the Allies and will be easier and more interesting for him as the Axis on the attack.

I’d wait till you’re bored with D-Day though.

I would like to first draw your attention here if you haven’t found it already.

The blockhouses can not be destroyed by any succesful roll during execution of this order. You will only be able to kill German tanks, infanty and artillery.

You will likely have noticed the naval bombardment card which allows you to only target blockhouses. Later during the Alles conduct combat card you will be able to destroy anything hit -tanks, infantry, artillery or blockhouses.
