AR 196 *DONE*

So we are looking at this for play testing purposes?

Ar 196
Germany
Aircraft – Fighter
1939
Cost: 9?
MG: 2
AA: 5
Bomb: 3
ASW: 2
A/VA/HP: 4/7/1

Sea Basing - This unit can base only in a coast or an island sector on your side of the map. Don't place a Rearming counter on this unit during your Air Return step.

Spotter - At the beginning of your Air Attack step, you may choose an enemy Ship within range 2. Your Ships roll one extra attack die when attacking that ship at range 2 or greater with their main Gunnery attack this turn.

I'm a little shaky on the cost and throwing 9 out there as a starting point, the reasons for the 9 is based off of the combination of the two SAs and that the unit has everything on the attack lines except for Torpedoes. To reduce the cost we could get rid of the MG line, after all this unit would never be used to strafe especially when the Armor line would become a 2/5/1.

I wonder if a reroll would be better than a +1 dice.

Limits its to 1 ship per turn. But is more decisive in a game.

Thanks!

Well, I still like the idea of giving the +1 only to Main Gunnery attacks at Range 2 or greater. I think that simulates the value of a spotter aircraft more accurately. Maybe its a small thing, but I think it makes it a little more fun to "work it" IMO.

A 1/3 chance to recall a missed shot isnt anything to build a strategy on. In ideal circumstances it could be decisive, but then can rolling all sixes on a torpedo attack. Its actual impact will be less in most game than a blank cheque +1 but itll be more likely to see gametime if the potential of a good payoff
