Sergeant's rules (part 3)

I generally play this rule but I restrict it to only the attacking player.  Since the attacker has the initiative any rolls they have for 1 they get to choose the enemy casualty (with the exception of infantry).  This occurs only on the first round of combat.  I was thinking of always letting fighters choose but have yet to play test it.

yea we got that in AARHE.

Tank and Artillery hits must go to other same first then infantry

Land units cant kill air units unless it was a AA roll

ON naval transports cant be soaker’s for attack or defense. Transports are not combat vessels. The idea that a transport is also destroyers and escorts is totally bankrupt thinking. They are only merchant ships.

Battleship hits must go against like first if the enemy has any and same down the line.

1. it hits its own kind, then its hits anything else (except transports)

2. tranny are last naval unit to be removed

3. defender may retreat after any combat round by declaring first, followed by attacker

4. planes can make targeted attacks on any ship, after they survive ships AA rolls

5. Subs can kill anything they want , except when a ASW unit is present it can screen out one unit at 1/1 basis

6. ASW units are cruisers and destroyers and sometimes planes

7. ships that take 2 hits cant trick the system by allocating multiple 1 hits first. each ship that takes two hits and is allocated one cant full up with free hits and repair. so basically you can do this once, the rest will either be that same battleship (sunk) or ships that take one hit.

actually not all of those are in AARHE  :wink:
some of them (particular some naval combat stuff) were removed (by you) so we can have a simpler combat system

ON naval transports cant be soaker’s for attack or defense. Transports are not combat vessels. The idea that a transport is also destroyers and escorts is totally bankrupt thinking. They are only merchant ships.

not totally bakrupt but much less justified since the introduction of destroyer unit in 2004 REVISED EDITION and cruiser unit in many house rules and upcoming 2008 ANNIVERSARY EDITION

1. which ones are outdated?

2. i was talking about revised specifically and not Milton Bradley.

@Sergente_nella_neve:

That’s all. What do you think about this?  :-D

its not good if defender chooses, its also not good if attacker chooses
your hybrid system should be fun to play

@Imperious:

1. no.1 and no.5
   no.1 - we got rid of the system that separates naval units into classes
   no.5 - only targeted attack when undetected and 1st cycle only, replacing the old screening system
2. yeah I know and I agree with you about the transport unit
