Scenario Playtest; Looking For Opponent

Hey to all,

As some of you know I have written 2 scenarios that are posted in AAM scenarios.  I am looking for an opponent to playtest 1 of these against.  If you are interested post here with which scenario you would like to play and which side you'd like to take.

The Scenarios:
http://aaminis.myfastforum.org/about10364.html

Let me know,
berger
carrion

sure, you choose which one and which side you want.
acs0424

LOL I said you choose!  Alright.  Lets do Losto Island, I'll take Japs.

Can you do maps? Those specific maps are the backside of NA.

Here is the army:
Japan
SNLF Paras x12
Honor Bound Hero x1
SNLF Captain x3
SNLF Fanatics x1
AHF Infantry x4
Arisaka Rifle x4
Type 97 Antitank rifle x2
Type 92 MG x2
70mm Type 92 x2
Imperial Sniper x1
Type 87 Armored Car x5
Zero x4
Type 95 Ha-Go x1
Type 2 Ka-Mi x1
Type 97 Chi-ha x1
Type 97 Te-ke x1


Alright.
carrion

Yeah I know, but you know which ones need more play testing, so let you choose.  Will try to have map ready tonight and maybe this afternoon, with all units.  Need to look over special rules and such.
acs0424

Yup no problem.  If you have any questions just ask!
carrion


QUESTIONS:
-Recon:  Why adjacent and not LOS.
-The P-40 needs to roll 5 or 6 before they can enter the battle and once they enter they can spot and attack.
Thats about it for now.
acs0424

Hm, these questions are good.  I said adjacent because the Japs had good camo and all, seeing them from 500 meters away might be hard.  
The P-40 can enter the battle whenever it wants. So it goes in on top of a Arisaka, it rolls a 6, the P40 sees the arisaka attacks it and Japan loses surprise.

Now if you dont mind im gonna add something to the P40 rule to make it more realistic.  The Japanese can shoot at the P-40 even if the P-40 fails is recon roll, however this would result in the P-40 discovering the Japanese and the Japanese losing Surprise. Then the question becomes is killing 1 plane worth losing surprise?

Now if you think LOS would be better for recon then I think it could be changed, but LOS within med. range, not long.

Alright my deployment:
Armored Cars in W1 V2 W3 V4 W5
SNLF Captain + Arisaka x2 in V6
SNLF Captain + Arisaka x2 in V8
SNLF Captain + AHF Inf in W9
AHF inf x2 + Imp. Sniper in V10
MG x2  + Fanatic in W11
Antitank Rifle x2 + Type 92 Artillery x1 in V12
Type 92 Artillery in W13
Ha-Go in V14
Chi-Ha in W15
Ka-Mi in V16
Te-Ke in W17

Alright.

Casualties:

Quad 50 in D10 disrupted

Wow my Paras suck at shooting.

The armored car got into U3

Alright, shoot back.
carrion

So I'm guessing surprise is over next round.
-Sniper is in a hill hex-[cover=1d6]
-Vet SMLE and Owen in R8 have Camo, so they are unaffected.
-Car in U3 needs a movement roll to get into T2 to make it to S3.
-Quad 50 has defense of 4, so unaffected.
My assault coming soon.

Yeah but it's not in the other forest hex.  Need a roll for each forest hex, not just the first one, unless you can prove otherwise.

Can you prove that you need to make a roll to enter each forest hex moving from a forest hex?

Logically the terrain doesn't change so why should I have to make another movement roll?

It's a different hex..you look for a "you can" and I will look for a "you can't"...sound fair.

Sound fair to me. It's late.  I'll get back to you tomorrow.

Also, if niether of us can find rules lets each roll a die. the higher roll wins the rule,

**Will adjust Cars after we find out for sure**

your move.
carrion

Advanced Rules p.30:
movement roll:  Units attempting to cross a stream or a hedge; Vehicles attempting to enter a forest hex; and Soldiers attempting to enter or leave a bluffs hex through a cliff must succeed on a movement roll to do so...
acs0424

And my arguement against that is it doesn't state where they are coming from.  That rule is up for interpretation.
carrion

A forest hex is a forest hex, there is no interpretation.
Ask the rules section and see what they say.
acs0424

whatever you win the rule. not like im gonna win anyways.
carrion

You just had a bad round of die rolls.  You still have your main force coming up from the south, plus this is why you playtest things to see the ins and outs, not to win everytime, that is for the the others playing it after it is complete.
carrion

asked in the rules section and this is the response:
