Furthermore, subs played a much bigger role in the atlantic than they did in the pacific,
Got to argue here, Subs became supreme in the Pacific for the USN. The Sub effort more or less cut Japan off from alot of important resorces (Oil, Rubber any one) by the end of the war. The Japs never ran proper convoys and considered escorting a demeaning task for the Mighty Japenese Navy. I will second the feeling here simplity is best.
As for the French, when it comes to it France as a power she is occuppied by Germany (Even though Vichy went on in Europe a bit and then theres the free French, can’t wait to see how AAE40 handles this). as to Indochina, the Japanese did not ‘invade’ here but just moved troops in, in September of 41. This was one of those links that caused the Americans to impose the Oil embargo on Japan, which then forced the Japs to look at gaining Dutch East Indies by force etc. So as an actual combatant in the Pacific, and thus game Pieces, she matter nothing.
Hey Just asking for some help to get out of a problem I am missing my British Card know its in the house some place but cant find it was wondering if somebody could either post the set up here or send me a scan of the card. Greatle appricate any and all help.
Thanks for the reply . . . while the thread you mention is great for a long read 30+ post :-o I will keep asking here to be able to get a quck response.
Now my next question: if you bought 2 research tokens and then both rolls fail, due you keep those same two tokens for use on the next turn for more rolls?
This is the first of what I expect to be many rule questions any body else can post theres as well here.
Ok . . . am I understanding this right?
I have 2 US Infantry, 1 US Artillery and 1 US Tank in the Eastern United States, I want to move them all to Morocco/Alergia. I have 2 US Transports in Sea Zone 10. If I understand the rules I can load all troops on the two transports in Sea Zone 10 then move them into Sea zones 11 and 12 and then Conduct an Amphibous Assualt on the 1 German Infantry located in Morocco/Alergia.
Did I do “Operation Torch” right?
Has any body worked on putting or used crusiers in AAP?
Captain Crunch ,Thank you for yout thoughts they were well worded and well said.
Now any opinons on the system I mentioned for play?
Well a debate has insued fowlling my little thouths on, basically, game mechanics. But let me retort a little. The debate on the bomb has been a recent occurence, say since the late 60’s. Before that it was simply “Wow what a powerful weapon and thank God we used it to too end the war”. yes that simple I would say the invention of the H-Bomb caused more disturbance in the mind then the A-bomb ever could have caused. One point often overlooked is that many in Japan wanted to continue the war, even after Nagisaki (SP?), and it was only till the Russians came in did these voices get drown out. But the idea of the war going on was a real possisbillty late into 45 and early 46. On top of this the US was out of bombs, looking at mid 46, till new ones appeared, in fact, I think, Nimitz wanted to use the bomb in the invasion of southern Japan in late 45, against troop concentrations. So the idea of using the bomb as a weapon operationally was a valid option. There fore why keep the bomb out of the arsenal.
I know I could have posted this else where but thought it belonged here first.
The effort to build a bomb was shared by almost all major powers during the war. It was a huge undertaking with many steps leading to the final product. To suggest that one singe roll of the die in the game leads to the bomb I think historically and for the sake of play is a bit two simple. All of the games have introduced avarious tech charts and national advantages to play all ignoring the bomb like the proverbal elephent in the room.
With that said lets us say that even to make a bomb takes the development of the spliting of the atom. This should be a sperate die roll needing a 6 to achieve like all other technologies. Once that is achived you shoud have enffective means to deliever the bomb which could be either heavy bomber or Rocket both of which are already on the boards in most A&A games. So that means two rolls to even say you have a bomb. each bomb should coast 20 or 30 ICs, and when used the player should annouce his target either an Industrial Center or troops one or the other which removes that unit(s) from play. Each following use requies the player to purchase new bombs at above mentched cost. This will prevent the player from going over board in using the A-Bomb.
