……it explains itself n’est pas? :oops:

no , sorry i worded that wrong, i meant other Non-Heavy AIRCRAFT got +1 on the dice, not all units. but i suppose your right, bombers should also have higher defense, but i also forgot to mention that the bombs should be alimited ability like AP rounds, or roket salvo.
but superior armor on a bomber? i dunno, maybe but if so 6/6 is kinda high then, cause other planes and AA guns usually roll like nine dice, but then again, Bombers would be a priority target… But the innacurate would make it virtually useless in defending itslef against other aircraft, and plus, it souldnt have such high normal AT cause if you think about it all thoes machine guns in the turrets arent really gonnna do much to say a panzer 4, but your right about having higher AI dice cause all thoes machineguns would be a living nightmare against infantry. :evil:
also the bomb ablility would kinda ignore cover and hit everthing in a hex so blast and bombrdment wouldnt be nesscessarry i think.

Has anyone ever thought about bringing bombers to the field?

i did, and  heres how i think they could work:

they are placed on the field like aircraft, and have AT and AI attacks like aircraft, BUT heres the biggie, inseatd of the “aircraft” ability, its “Heavy aircraft” wich gives other non Heavy aircraft +1 on dice rolls (not stacked with Anti Air), and the bombers ability could be say Bombs 10 wich could be an attack used to hit everything underneath and in front of the bomber, but would alsa have the blast and bombardment abilities kinda built into it.

i think that only being able to attack underneath and infront(like a one way strafe) would allow the other player to mount a good defense against this otherwise pretty powerful attack.

one bomber stat idea

Lancaster bomber 19 pts.
5/5
A
Heavy aircraft(explained above)
Bombs 10(also explained abouve)
AI 8/7/-
AT7/6/-

Well anyone who has an oppinion tell me what you think. :-D

OH the T-35 is in the next set? i was just posting some ideas for what COULD be units in the game, not nessecairrily, sorry i thought you were just posting unit stat ideas

sorry

I didnt make em up
the russian DP gun was basically the same as the bar gun, only with an higher rate of fire,
as for the death’s head SSthey were the SS fanatical leigeons usually assigned to do the dirty work of exterminating jewish refugee camps. i could go on, but yeah.

oh and one i forgot to put on

DP gunner
Russian infantry , common, 5pts

speed 1
4/4 defense

covering fire
close assault 7

AI  9/7/-
AT 2/2/-

Hey i got one too

Death’s Head SS

German rare infantry, 12 pts

speed 1
defense 5/5
Fanatical (ignores disrupted counters but still gets -1 on defense)
steely resolve 2
ruthless
close assault 8

AI 11/9/-
AT 2/-/-

i hope they come out with the Su-152 Aka “the counquering beast”
another thing that would be kewlwould be the me163E “Komet” the war’s only rocket-propelled fighter like 20 points 7/6/0, and like3/2/0, with “extreme speed only like 6es count” but its also got "highly volatile: if this unit gets a disruped counter destroy it immediately"and it would have like 3/3 defense.
But what they should defietly have  is a kamikazie Zero.

ok i tried that unit combination, it worked like a charm on a battle where we had an objective, but when we played a full on kill all battle i ALMOST won, but he managed to take out my pershing as i was moving in for the kill(i had his tank damaged by then)
but it would have worked better if i had screaming eagles instead of the Defiant ones, but hell i almost won

Yea i agree with you there, the Yak would be sweet, and the lack of russian units in D-day pissed me off. But the nebelwefer would be freaking sweet, like a towable katyusha , thier stats would probably be pretty similar too.
and a grease gunner with crack shot? have you lost all faith in the game makers?
And the A-Bomb would suck nuts, like what roll a million dice against everything on the feild? it just wouldnt add anything positive to the game.
Chuck norris? that would be pretty damn funny, but i dont think Chuck is THAT old.
but if anything i hope that they come you with more russian infanrty, like some infantry that have a DECENT close assault.

(ps: nice reference to southpark)

Well, finally theres another set coming out, sweet. :-D
But just one big question whatll be in it? :?
im guessing asise from whats stated in the announcement , im betting theres gonna be the ME262.
hey i wonder if theyll put in the Black widow, or usa’s firt operational fighter the shooting star? :roll:
well maybe not, it was used in the pacific more…
well lets see what everyone else thinks willbe in it!!!

ok just a few problems, i dont have screaming eagles, ive only got 3 defiant paratroopers, and i only have 2 flamethrowers, sides that i have everything you said, oh i dont have the resourceful hero either… i traded i9t to my friend just last week, for a grizzled veteran, wich, I think, is way the hell more useful.

Hmmmm…. i suppose youre right, next time i play ill make sure to use the standard rules, well standard rules, but more points, 100 points just seems a lil chinsey.

well one its a not a turn limited battle, we play with a limit of 18 UNITS, not turns, and its just to kill everything, you know, last man standing?
well no i dont actually use the hellcat, its a piece ‘o’ junk.
and yeah sides taht i figure ill try using my paratroopers taht i do have, cause his Axis force has like nothing for infantry, the only GOOD infantry hes got is one SSpanzergrenadier, and his 2 storm troopers.
well still does anyone have a suggestion on how i could defeat the damn thing with what i have?
well anyhow i get my paycheck on monday so ill get a couple new packs, probably a setII and a D-Day set.

Ok, new issue, my friend pulled a veteran tiger, and now whenever i play allies i always lose!!!
not only that, it seems the damn thing can take out like any of my tanks in one go!!!
what do you suggest doing to kill the damn thing? ive tried using infantry but the best ive done ot the damn thing is disrupt it!!!
i could use any help what so ever please.
and if you have ideas for how my russians could take it out plase tell me?

PS we play usually round 180 points 18 unit limit, kill everything battle.

Dont you need a credit card for ebay?

yeah, i only have like two pnzr grenadiers and no aircraft, i have one sniper, and a hole crapload of antitank stuff, that seems to be the only thing i ever pull for axis. we also play with usually a 120 point battle, lastman standing, with historical nation limits, i use mostly german, and he always uses american and british stuff. Whenever i get axis and allies stuff i always get nothing but crap, the best thing i own is either me jagdpanther , or pershing. :|
i dont have much in the way of numbers for my germans, its mostly a mechanized force with infantry support, and none of my tanks cept the panzer 2 ausf (f) is even slightly good against infantry.

hello, i am a big fan of A&A minis, i play it with my friends all the time , BUT latly my frind i play against most often has ruineed the game for me: he is always allies, and he ruins tha game by playing with nothing but infantry, no tanks just about 20 infantry, and all of my axis stuff IS good, but i dont have anything that can match his numbers and he almost always wins because of it!!! :x :x :x

I just need some suggestions on just what i should do! :|
