Rescue & Exit

1-Rescue (Strorch) what is the advantage of a piece being rescued other than denying your opponent a medal? Seems like you would just loose a piece to fight with, which would effectively make your opponent win all the sooner if your that desperate to just loose a piece?
2-Exit--pretty much same issue; As in the Air Pack Scenario-Beda Fomm #46a---What is the advantage to the Axis player to try to Exit the board? Seems like all thats going to do is give you less units to gain metals on your opponent & give your opponent a pinch point as he knows your trying to make it to the Exit?
Can some one explain please? Thanx, Rod

Ok, understand now. & a medal for Exiting would give the advantage I was looking for, but the Beda Fomm #46a doesnt mention anything about medal for exit---just that the "Exit behind the British units on the road is an exit for the Axis". What benefit besides just denying your opponent is there in this one? Also in the rescue situation--not only do you loose the piece to battle w/ but you loose the Storch plane as well? Seems like such a waste.

Any time it says "Exit Hex" it is understood that you can get medals for exiting. That's the only reason why you exit a unit.
With the rescue, you do lose the unit for battling but the other team loses the chance to get a medal...and the Storch leaves the board but can come back on any time you have another Air Sortie card or equivalent. That's not a bad deal at all and could be the difference between a win or loss!!

My finest example of using a Storch "Rescue" was during a play of "Fall Gelb" campaign from campaign book. My opponent reduced an infantry unit to 1-figure and since he was virtually in no man's land he had no posibility of outrunning his enemy or get into cover. Losing him would mean losing the scenario. Bringing in the Storch and removing him denied my opponent that easy medal, and I got some satifaction out of the look on his face when that easy medal dissapeared. What more he now had units stranded there and his gameplan was disturbed. So instead of him taking the win, he had to regroup and try something else. He lost momentum and I managed to take a close fought win. All good fun.

Ok, great, that makes sense. Still think the Rescue situation is a little weak. Should be able to replace unit in later turn maybe as reinforcement type thing, but can always make it a house rule. I'll play w/ that one & see how it goes. Thanx

I think the rescue is usefull, its almost as good as getting a medal, and in my opinion, I would rather resist giving the opponent an easy medal, rather then killing one or two figures.

The rescue rule is only possible with the Storch airplane (a German plane in the Air Pack). So this is an Air Pack addition and only applies to games where the Air Rules are in effect and a player chooses to use the Storch.

If you're wanting it, you should try to buy one sooner rather than later! Days of Wonder can't afford to produce it anymore in its current format so as stock runs out the price will go up...
