Unit Reaction?

[06 Maestro]

I don't have this game (yet). I am wondering if there is any unit reaction during the inactive player's turn. For instance; is there some sort of reserve setting that would enable one of your units to move during your opponents turn?

[LarryP]

Nope.

EDIT: I should have said in response to your question of Reserve Setting... nope.

[06 Maestro]

Thanks Larry.

It's a straight TBS game. Nothing like CoTA. It's a nice game though.

while it would have been nice to have reaction phase, especially for air or naval units, I don't think it's a big deal.

I'm really enjoying this game. [:)]

Ok back to North Africa

I like it the way it is. I liked it's predecessor RtV because it was simple and fun. This is the same along those lines.

For some reason I got the opinion that air and naval units could intercept. Am I wrong in this or perhaps they only contest in the hex/zone that they are in?
Thanks.

[gwgardner]

air units definitely intercept, in range

naval action is based on areas, ships need to be present in the area, except during amphibious assault (I think!)

[GeorgePatton]

I'm not sure how interception works...but I don't think you can physically interdict a hex (i.e., placing an air unit on standby on a specific hex) during your turn that you think might be attacked in an enemy phase.

I can give you one case of reaction movement by ground troops.

Just happened to save a game after landing a para unit in the D-Day scenario.

Upon reloading, 3 German units attacked and destroyed the airborne unit. [X(]

Only after this was control returned to me, still on turn 1.

I almost hate to ask if this is WAI (working as intended)! [:'(]
