I wanted to know how exactly the German anti-tank works, i.e. whether, in the same turn, it can shoot both as an anti-aircraft and as an anti-tank (i.e., shooting 2 times). For example, if a territory that also contains a German anti-tank is attacked by 2 infantry, 2 tanks and 2 planes, should the anti-tank first shoot as an AAA (this happens before the attack begins), then, shoot again as a defensive unit (choosing, among other things, the tank target of its shot for the first combat turn)?

@SuperbattleshipYamato Alright I will try this next game. I wish America had more power in this game. Kinda like France in Global I could win without them.
Btw this is off topic but I think the British should start off with a plane.

@simon33 said in L25 French Rebalance FlyingBadger (Axis) vs Simon33 (Allies+0) #1:

Urgh, I didn’t see your post, thought it was still your turn!

No problem, I’ve had a few distractions anyway. I’ve had a look at the Italian move but it’s a lot more complicated than a normal I5! Will think some more and post it tomorrow. Then should be back to being more prompt with my turns.
