You put either 2 soldiers or one tank on a transport, move the transport no further than 2 spaces, unload the transport and fight. If you have battleships, they can shoot once at the bad guys on land. What's confusing about it?

@YNNEB-hz3be3 жыл бұрын
No its simpler than that you put the amount of dice the same number as the units you have if you dont have enough dice you can use the same 4 dice that the game gives You take the type of unit amount and put the same amount of dice near the battle strip but only for that unit and this is how it works When multiple units attack each unit attacks for themselves Example: i am attacking siberia with 2 infinatry against 3 infantry My units role the dice and my dice are 5 and 1 so only one hit if you oderstood the video you know what happens next

It's like Risk in that you fight battles and take over territories. It's got a lot more complexity though. It's WWII so you play on teams. Each nation has several land, sea, and air units all with different attack and defense capabilities and movement ranges. You also get income from the territories you control an use that to purchase different units and customize your armies. There's a ton of other cool stuff I'm probably forgetting. If you like Risk and want more historical detail and strategy then this is a good game.

If an Carrier has planes when a two-part amphibious assault takes place can the planes take off or does this have to be done before the assault takes place?
@harsh-rules7 жыл бұрын
I think you can remove the planes as long as they can declare a safe landing zone besides the Carrier. Essentially, they will move during the Non-combat phase. If they are going to attack a different target you can declare this as well. (Once again need a safe landing place.) Otherwise, if the planes have no place to land. (The Carrier is lost) then you lose the planes as well.
@gav88277 жыл бұрын
Harsh Rules: Board Game Tutorials So just move them beside the Carrier?
@harsh-rules7 жыл бұрын
That would work. Just declare to the other players where they will land. If there is no safe place to land, then you probably can't do it. However, if there is you're just clarifying where the planes will fly to during the non-combat phase.
