cyclem Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 Just got the game last weekend and I have a couple of questions: 1) How does river affect combat? The docs are not very clear on this. In many instances, my ground units had no effect on the defender when attacking across river. 2) How can naval units cross into the Black sea near Sevastopol? Do you have to control Istanbul? 3) How can naval units cross from the Mediterranean sea to the Atlantic? Do you have to control Gibraltar? 4) How can we attack Tangier? Which country owns it? 5) How does supply really work? Obviously, HQ provide most of it, but how much do starting city, port, occupied city provide support? And how does the range calculation work? Thanks for your help on a great game, cyclem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 1) Missed this one in the manual, if you attack from a river hex your attack is reduced by 50%, this does not affect air units. 2) You have to control the land/sea hex for that sea lane 3) Yes or reduce the port to strength = 0 4) Spain 5) Supply from an HQ was missed in the manual but it basically follows the same formulas given the Supply Calculation Tables found in the manual. In general HQ's act as a supply giving source and it is based on it's current supply value. Hope this helps, and glad to hear you are enjoying the game!
