Making the Battle Box last longer

@krieghund thx

One more thing …

The opening turn would be a single round attack by the Japanese with a 5 damaging ships and a 4 or less killing a ship; and air and ground units are killed on a four or less.  The Allies damage a ship on a 2 and kill a ship on a 1.  Air and ground units are killed on a 1.

This is my starting thought on a first turn Japanese advantage.

Lets see if that can survive some play testing.

Sorry to have been off the grid for a lot of days for me. Dinosaur you bring up a bunch of things that I will give some additional thought to.

Off the top of my head I suggest units have a value for ‘turns from enemy contact.’ This value could be for each phase and then add to some sort of base unit type value.

Also maybe the whole scale should be in some sort of relation to Victory points?

To make the box last longer, is there was for a laminate or coating to place on it?

I like Guadalcanal too. I like BOTB better but this one is pretty tasty too.

Ranged fire is cool!!!   :mrgreen:

Well, unless you are on the wrong side of it.  :cry:

No, it is not!
I’m always on the wrong side of it … and the enemy artillery always hits the wrong transport.

:lol: Stupid random casualty system.

Its probably an inside joke because that Japanese guy standing guard is so fat instead of a menu they give him an estimate.

@Temppa:

Thanks for the tips. I have bought Guadalcanal then and it seems to be a rather good game.

Glad we could help. I was wondering if maybe we’d scared you off and you decided to pick up some Euro game instead.  :-)
