To the archive: >I'm trying to set up and play Breaking Into Valhalla, and am having >some trouble with the rules and setup. The questions so far: >*I have no setups listed for FLAK units 1-3 and Assault Gun 1. Where >should they go? OOPS! THESE SET UP WITH THE 84TH AND 180TH INFANTRY DIVISION UNITS. >*What are the movement costs for crossing the Maas after turn 3? The >same as minor rivers? (I assume you CAN cross the Maas without a >bridge. Otherwise it would be more or less impossible to build >pontoon bridges across, since the Allies need to control both sides >of the river to build a bridge). UNBRIDGED MAAS RIVER HEXSIDES CAN ONLY BE CROSSED BY ALLIED LEG INFANTRY UNITS THAT EXPEND ALL MP TO DO SO. SUCH UNITS CAN TRACE SUPPLY FOR THE FIRST 2 GAME TURNS OVER UN-BRIDGED HEXSIDES AS PER THE RULE. AFTER THAT THEY NEED A BRIDGE. TIMING IS EVERYTHING! REMEMBER, TOO, THAT UNITS CAN MOVE INTO A HEX/AREA THAT WOULD PUT THEM OUT OF SUPPLY (THERE IS NO RULE SAYING THEY CAN'T TO THAT). >*Are there a limit fot the number of allied units that can trace >supply across Rhine bridges? YES, RULE 7.1 STATES THAT UP TO 15 UNITS CAN TRACE SUPPLY OVER A BRIDGE. >Do roads negate the terrain effects of flooded areas? I assume not. YES THEY DO. THE MAJOR ROADS IN THIS REGION WERE BUILD ON ELEVATED BERMS JUST IN CASE SUCH A DISASTER OCCURED. >When counting units for strategic reserve purposes, is a unit a counter or >a division? A COUNTER. >Is there no direct VP penalty for the Allies for taking Strategic Reserve units? NO VP FOR TAKING ALLIED UNITS OUT OF STRATEGIC RESERVE. JUST THAT MANY FEWER THEY COULD RECEIVE AT THE END OF THE GAME. mvh Elias --- Elias Nordling telephone: +46-8-648 09 62 Hasselquistvagen 25a 2tr mobile: +46-70-175 00 02 S-121 46 Johanneshov e-mail: elias@nordling.nu Sweden homepage: http://elias.nordling.nu
