Better airrules?

[Colonel_Coo]

Hey maybe we'll get much better approved air-rules.

Heck, maybe HHR will be codified.

I think I saw something like this out of the window when we were getting ready to land at O'Hare last week. But it was snowy and I couldn't tell for sure.

That's coming out in set VIII.

Where the heck did you get that advance photo?

I would go for that:

Yes Remember, a early war stuka (1938) it's very intersting for destroy a french B-1 bis because with pz IV D and pz III it's very hard :)

Last weekend I used these 2 house rules for the first time:

-- units with the AA SA get to defensive fire when enemy aircraft are placed within 3 hexes from them;

-- aircraft getting disrupted by defensive fire cannot attack.

This made placing planes a much more tactical matter, and prevented the "trade a plane for a 45 point unit with low rear armor" ploy (if the owner of the 45 point unit invested in some AA cover for it of course). Moreover, it felt much more realistic this way. And it didn't make the game any more complicated.

We'll be using this from now on (or until better ones come out of course).

BTW the Stuka B is a must for pretty much any early-war scenario with germans in it, so I hope the next set will have this one. Under our house rules it should probably be able to still drop the bombs if it gets defensive-disrupted, albeit at a -1 on each die (a new Divebomber SA?)

Good house rule.

is that different unit than Junkers JU 87G stuka or is it just a change you added

Nice, simple. I like it.
