ORIGINAL: fulcrum28 thank you Larry, it is very nice. Just two minor comments/questions. 1) It costs 1 star, but all operations like that should be done and execute across the front simultaneously so that all attacks just consume 1 star. Otherwise, each separate attack across the front would cost 1 star, am I correct? or I missed something? I'm sorry I confused you. I was using just what you saw on the map as an example and nothing else in the game was relevant. But you are correct....you got to set up ALL your attacks before you pull the trigger because each combat phase has a potential to burn rounds. I've only seen ONE combat phase that didn't cost me any rounds in all the time I've been playing. So it does happen...you just never see it unless the planets are in conjunction and we on the earth are at the closest point from here to Mars and it's a Tuesday. quote:
ORIGINAL: fulcrum28 2) The first moved done by HQ does not look too realistic since attacks done by HQs were seldom performed in real battles. Maybe using recon unit would be better. But in TOAW using HQ as attacking unit seems allowed. :) Yeah, I thought that too. Then I looked under the hood of this particular HQ unit and it has no command squads nor any support squads [ which I thought was odd ] so in my eyes the icon looks like an HQ unit, it's actually a small shock squad in de-skise. [ I have no clue how to spell disguise. ] And indeed, it IS allowed by the game engine. I'm going to have to fix that HQ unit so that I don't use it that way any longer. It's beginning to confuse my friends. [image]local://upfiles/16287/4FCE0BF501454A28AC70AFA0ABA9342A.gif[/image]
