@frimmel:

Sometimes you might want to hold dice back on a hex with trucks and/or supplies and only a couple of combat units as you increase the chance of destroying the trucks and supplies. Of course you increase the chance of missing the destruction or forcing the retreat of those combat units.

That makes a lot of sense and thanks for the quick response. I hadn’t thought about the fact that attacking with less units would lower the odds of hitting valuable supplies. This is something I’ll consider in future games.

Thanks again,

I just picked this up last week and after about 5 games I can say yes. I would warn them however that playing the Allies takes a lot of tactics and maneuvering!

I was just reviewing the rules on the attack phase and it states that “You may choose to roll less than the alloted dice if you wish by holding back certain units in the attack. Any units you hold back may not attack this turn.”

Question: When attacking, is there any tactical reason to roll less dice than the alloted amount? Since there is no counter attack, keeping units from attacking doesn’t seem to serve any useful purpose. Am I missing something?

thanks,
