Thanks for putting a little humor into my day. I actually remember reading that when you wrote it, but I didn't remember that it was you. From humble beginnings a star was born... Geoff

Thanks for the kind words!

Sadly I remember what the question was...

I was confused about the Air Power Card and asked a question that showed just how muddled my thinking really was!! Here's my first post:

I'm a new owner and player of Memoir '44 and I have a question about the Tactics card "Air Power". It says, "Target a group of 4 or fewer enemy units adjacent to each other. Roll 2 battle dice per hex (Allied air attack) or 1 per hex (Axis air attack), ignoring any terrain battle die reduction. Score 1 hit for each die that matches the unit's symbol, a grenade or a star. For each flag, retreat 1 hex. Flags may not be ignored." If I am the Allied player and I target three Axis units that are together, I would roll 6 dice. Would I roll the dice against each hex (6 dice against one hex, 6 dice against the next hex, 6 dice against the last hex)? Or would I roll 6 dice and one of us players (Allied or Axis) chooses which units are hit? Or do I roll the 6 dice against one hex that the attacking player chooses? You can see my problem. In my mind, there are three possible ways to play the card. The first option makes the card very powerful. Is that the point? Thanks for the help and advice!

It's funny to look at now, because I wasn't even close to the correct way of playing Air Power with any of my thoughts. After writing the FAQ, I think I've learned a little more how the game works!

I was in a local community coffee shop a few months back with a friend talking about my Radio Controlled tiger tank and was telling him about a web page I had found that showed markings for the eastern front. We popped onto one of the PC's to look at the page. On my first visit to the page I must have had the sound turned off so i was unaware it had German marching music embedded into the page! I felt like I was in an old west saloon and the pianist had stopped playing as everyone looked at me I tried to explain what i was doing and the folks laughed, but talk about making an impact!
