X-Persona: From: "Dow Jones" Subject: Avalanche press third reich alternate ground combat system I am a die hard AH fan. This game is totaly different. I do like the simplified sea rules and the diplomacy rules. The board barring a few misprints in Northern Russian is very artful. The counter design is great. It may too bright. The combat system leaves this game lacking. However for land combat I have incorperated the old AH CRT. I have left the naval and counter air combat as is in the rules. Supporting aircraft (after counter air, interception ) add thier value to the crt calculations but air units are not taken into effect when eleminating units. after ground combat air units are returned to a base in range of the combat hex. So far this system has worked out okay.
