First game.. Opinions.. and lots of questions!

artillery attack on a 2 inf on a 1. If you have an artillery and a inf both attacking the inf gets boosted to 2. 1 arty can only boost 1 inf

Inf and arty defend at 2 by themselves. Inf are cheaper. You need inf for defense as well as for the attack bonus. You also need inf for cannon fodder and blockers.

Once you get some arty just buy inf to replace your losses and try and maintain a 1:1 ratio. If on defense you probably want more of a 2:1 or even 3:1 ratio. Depends on your situation. If you’re really under pressure a lot of people will go all inf for max defense.

I’ve always liked to be able to do small counterattacks when possible though. It’s nice to have a couple planes so you can at least do some minor counterattacks.

Best thing is to set it up and give it a go : )

you might want to read through the after action reports a couple threads above you. probably some good info there for ya

It’s an illegal move.

Or you can just download the rulebook from the WOTC site, grab extra units (from other or older games), paint them to match, print a map out created by Imperious Leader and you should be on your way.

This is what I did any way.  Although I went as far as to recreate the Combat board, IPC chart and National Objective/Setup Charts.

@ShadowHAwk:

Would it not be much better and simpler to state that every move should be possible before combat is rolled?
To avoid these cheesy situations. It takes the carrier the whole turn to move 2 spots so if it does not start sailing the same time the fighters would launch they would not survive anyway.

That will severely hinder some of the tactical & strategic aspects of battles and planning and remove alot of the surprises from the game.  Regardless of how a battle turns out, one of my favorite aspects of the game is the surprise move or act of desperation that wasn’t expected or accounted for.  I’m satisfied that you can’t send your planes on a one way trip, but you CAN send them on a potentially suicidal mission.

Yea so if you catch an AC out at sea with out a DD you may get the ftrs too if they can’t land within 1 space.

@Battlingmaxo:

as an aside abattlemap is incorrect on  AA50 42 setup….it lists dd and trn for sz1; game lists ca and dd

I read from my setup card: 1 Cruiser, 1 Transport for SZ 1 in the 42 szenario.

Anyway the setup of ABattlemap AA50 42 setup is wrong in SZ1.

I added this issue to the Modules-thread. Thank you!

:-)

Don’t have revised or dday(have everything else) ….hence my ignorance…sorry

my best bet would have beeen amazon anyway ;)
