And note that his commander ability is +1 to all Paratrooper attacks and it does apply to himself as well.

Thanks Mot. That’s two downloads I’ll have to do. I’m guessing neither is the size of TripleA but to give you an idea of what my connection is like TripleA took nearly 4 hours to download. I’ll get to those when I have the time. Soon enough I’ll can this sh!t connection.

Good Idea, working up to the full scale.  And your right if you don’t have an objective of turn limit Infantry are a waste of time.  With an objective Close assault becomes possible.

Planes attack the same way as any other unit, with the sole exception that terrain doesn’t block LOS to and from them.

While I don’t hate them, I’m not a huge fan of airpower either.  Things bog down too much when you have to constantly ‘watch the skies.’

@Der:

T-70s are the Russians’ ultimate weapon.

As a man who plays the Russians himself, all I can say is……hell yes mofo.  :-P

Heroes is an interesting idea implemented poorly. It’s a skirmish level game. We don’t need heroes to spawn in the middle of the game. I think the begining would be just fine.

I’ve been toying with the idea of introducing soft cover and hard cover as game concepts for A&AM, and I’m looking for some feedback or ideas (and hopefully others might try it and tell me how it worked for them). Yes, they’re based on gross oversimplifications, but the whole game is based on such, so I don’t see this as a problem.

Soft Cover: Forests - Cover Rolls have a -1 to them, meaning that Soldiers have a 5+ cover save, and vehicles need a 6.

Hard Cover: Towns, Hills -  Normal cover rolls as per the rulebook.

Erm. Yea, I’ll explain more in a bit. I have to log offline ASAP. But I see this as being a bit more realistic and tactical without overcomplicating things. I might give the standard infantry of each nation a “foxhole” ability one of these years too, one that allows them to treat soft cover as hard cover if they didn’t move in the movement phase that turn. I dunno yet.

I found my own answer.  Removed after second turn.
