Novice question

@CWO:

@Warhawk77:

Starting to play more and I was wondering do all the box sets have the game pieces in the same scale?

The short answer is “mostly yes”.� The longer answer is a bit more complicated.� From game to game, A&A sculpts have generally been on the same scale when you compare units belonging to the same unit class; in other words, specific sculpt X will generally be the same size no matter which game it comes from.� Within each class, however, scales can vary; for instance, the Yamato and Iowa battleship sculpts are roughly the same size, even though in reality Yamato was much bigger than Iowa.� There’s even more variation between unit classes, the most extreme case being the scale of the infantry sculpts and the scale of the battleship / carrier sculpts.�

There have also been some cases of scale changes for specific units.� The British and German battleship sculpts became larger and more detailed when many of the sculpts were “refreshed” at one point.� The German 88mm sculpt went from being small (and mis-representing field artillery) to being large (and correctly representing an AAA gun), and the same thing happened to the Stuka (which originally mis-represented a fighter rather than a dive bomber).� And note that the ANZAC infantry sculpt is somewhat notorious for being rather large compared with other infantry units.

Reading the reply I see I should have asked the question better. I should not have used the term scale as the pieces are different scales compared to each others but you fully understood what I was trying to say so thank you.

I will point out I had never thought about the different types of planes and guns that the sculpts are until you pointed it out so now I will have to go thru my games and compare them all.  :-D I know I’m helpless and get sidetracked very easy maybe a little ADD on my part, but what else would I do tomorrow?

Thanks Again

You are correct Carolina :-)

Thanks for the answers. Our first play was a lot of fun. And was a totall victory for me :evil:….

In combat movement yes. In non-combat movement no. It is the same as an in and out blitz.

enemy owned, but no unit present. 8-)

If memory serves me correct, there are more bugs in A&A:Iron Blitz than there were in the original. Yeah, go figures… :-?

@Michael:

1. Can fighters and Bombers attack Battleships, Destroyers and/or Transports unnassisted (without naval units)? :o

2. Where 4 (four) land/sea areas come together in one spot, can you move units diagonally across the “four corner” area? Example can you move directly from Berents sea to Karelia? Can you move directly from Western Mediteranian to Tunisia?
:-?

1 - yes (note transports cannot initiate a naval battle, they have an attack of zero)

2 - no, thats 2 moves! cheater! :)

Nope, thats the way it was in the original game. Changes thing quite a bit huh!
