Cold War Commander / Re: ICM?

QuoteThanks.

Hopefully that is made a bit more clear in future updates. Either in army lists or an errata.

ICM is the standard military acronym for this family of weapons - the trouble with these types of munitions is that they are hugely diverse in nature. However, I'll ensure that this is clarified & stated clearly in the Rules Errata.

NB: I've had a number of requests to note the actual armament of the aircraft listed in the army lists.
TBF this has proven to be a monumental & an almost impossible task, for a number of reasons:

1) on-going confidentiality/secrecy issues - often even many decades after the aircraft have been withdrawn from active service finding this information is really difficult/impossible. NB: it is often easier to establish the attack-loads of old Soviet Communist aircraft as a lot of this information has been posted on-line since the fall of the USSR, than it is to establish whether a 1980's UK or US aircraft would have delivered which weapons.

2) many modern aircraft have weapon points capable of carrying many different weapon loads (even on an improvised basis) and so it's often the available operational armouries that will dictate what weapons are carried. Napalm tanks are a classic case in question - most aircraft that can carry additional fuel tanks that they can drop/discard can replace these with Napalm cannisters.

3) political considerations - the fact that an aircraft 'could' deliver Napalm or Chemical weapons etc. and that the country concerned has that weapon in its armory, doesn't mean that they will publicly admit to this, or under what circumstances such munitions would be used.

4) the fact that an aircraft has a certain set of munition capabilities (in it's manufacturers service) doesn't mean that it has the same capabilities in another countries service or if it has that capability to deliver such munitions, its user may not have these weapons.

So ... in the up & coming Updated Army Lists all aircraft (unless specifically stated otherwise) will have HE munitions as standard, and where I have been able to verify specifically that the aircraft could carry another type of munition(s) these are listed (& the capability needs to be purchased to be used).
But as always I would encourage players to do your own research - in my mind that is an important part of the hobby  :)

Thanks

As Superscribe states - with the exception that SAMs (especially MANPAD SAMs) will use their AT stats against all air targets.

If the AA is shooting at attack helicopters (HELI:ATTK) you use the AT stats of all AA weapons.
Most AA guns can fire at ground targets and some of these have different factors for that. These are in the Notes.

All of this will be clarified in the (up & coming) List & Rules Errata.
Thanks

Where a unit has AA capability its AA value is its AP value.

Quote from: fsn on Yesterday at 08:30:34 AMAktually ... if the skull represents the Terminator franchise, then it is a time-travel and not a space theme.  :-B

Yeah, there's a story there...  We'd initially called it Sci-Fi themed to go with the ranges.  But then we did an Eagle + Neil Armstrong figure, so I switched it to space-themed but forgot about the Terminator...
