Great video as always! Let's make it hot with a question! In the animations it appeared that you always start out at the 1st spot on the hit assignment chart, regardless of if that spot has been used, is that the case? For example: 4 hits are scored against land targets but all are originally assigned to AA guns. There is an artillery and 4 infantry on the island. Is it correct that all 4 hits start at the first spot and hit the 4 infantry, or do the first 4 spots get taken and hit 3 infantry and 1 artillery? I appreciate the clarification!

@BoardGameNation 3 ай бұрын

Glad you enjoyed it! Hits are assigned to slot the hit fell into. If it isn't a valid target (enemy doesn't have any of those units), you drop back to #1 and move up the neck until you find a unit type they do have. So, you are going to see a lot more hits land in that first slot even if the hits don't actually start there. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

Am I mistaken, I thought moving sea units from the base card to the main board only happens during reinforce, resupply and deploy pahse and costs supply tokens depending on how far forward you intend to deploy?

@BoardGameNation 3 ай бұрын

You can move sea units off the base card as a combat move. You can also spend Supply Tokens to move directly from the base sea zone out to the map. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

@alkfjearknglinadlngdalfn 3 ай бұрын

Is the dice box actually wide enough for the dice to turn over? It looks like the dice might only be able to rotate about one axis. So, for example, if all the dice were placed inside such that all the 6-faces were facing the red numbered side of the slider, would you ever then be able to roll a 6, or would they be forever stuck facing that way (in which case you would only ever "roll" 2,3,4,5s)?

@BoardGameNation 3 ай бұрын

I wondered that, too. But, I didn't find that to be the case. Like any dice shaker, you have to give it a good shake to get a random roll. I haven't had any trouble get that with the battle box with this game. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

@stacygwynn5296 2 күн бұрын

After regroup phase is done and you pick up with next round, do you resume battles of units that are in the same zone? For example, in New Georgia there were units left from the previous battle. Would you pick up with that battle and resume it in the next round? Overall an excellent explanation of the game. You earned a sub

@BoardGameNation 2 күн бұрын

Thanks for subscribing! If the island or sea zone is still contested (contains enemy units) when the combat phase begins, then yes. Whatever units are there will do battle. Thanks for watching!

@BoardGameNation 28 күн бұрын

Carriers and Battleships are "Capital Ships" and players are awarded 1 Victory Point for each one sunk (page 12). You are correct. There are 9 airfields. Players score 1 Victory Point for each undamaged airfield they control at the end of their turn. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
