Rule Question

Wow, thanks for the quick reply :-D I was also wondering, what can the axis do to counter the allies supperior air force and number of trucks?

@Krieghund:

@Fishmoto37:

After a truck stops in an enemy ZOC, how and when can it be released for further movement?

If the enemy units are pushed back or eliminated so that the Truck is no longer in the ZoC, the Truck can move.  Also, the Truck can move one hex out of the ZoC in the Movement part of the Movement & Reinforcement phase, then move off the board in the next turn, assuming it is still out of the ZoC at that time.

@Fishmoto37:

When combat units are retreated can they be moved back one hex to attack if they pay one supply token to move and one more to attack? Or is this only an option for tanks? (Assuming these units have not attacked previously?)

Units, including Tanks, may only move in the Movement & Reinforcement phase (other than retreating, of course), so if a unit is retreated it may not attack in the same turn.

Thanks so much Krieg. Those were the only two issues I had with this game other than I would like to see a larger map. Thanks again.

Welcome, KikaSmile!

The only thing that I know of that you can do is edit the original post and change the Message Icon that appears next to the thread, but I don’t know how much success you’d have trying to get people to do it consistently.

As usual, spot on Krieghund.

@Casanova:

second: do players retain the supply tokens given by turn even if they don’t use all of them?

I would just add as to the supply tokens that these don’t have to be moved onto the board as they are added per turn.  for example, as the Axis, you get 9 I believe, and if you only wanted to move 6 of them onboard with trucks, the others would be left off board and could be moved on during your next turn, much the same way that not all of your reinforcements have to move on-board, but could be left off-board.  they still would move on in the order from the chart though.

@Krieghund:

Per the FAQ, when you win the air combat initiative, you choose who places air units first.

OK, thank’s for the FAQ. :wink:

Excellent, thanks!

You would have to land supplies at the beaches and move them to the front line units. Units would have to be able to move out of zones with other units. The whole “locked in combat” aspect of D-Day is not in keeping with most of the mechanics of BOTB.

You can but it has not been playtested with the map. The ideas have been playtested and they work very well in other games. I am working on changes on the air power thing because its not historical. Both sides had limited air power for each day of the campaign and i plan on spreading out the pain of allied 3/9 planes for the last 4 turns of the game , while i feel many games will progress with the statement " if the germans dont get far by turn 4 they should resign" I want to take the same number of air allocations but spread them out over all the turns ( except no allied air allocations on turn one).

So what im saying it go ahead and post but let me email a better version first  to you with these new changes. Ill have it by tomorrow.
