#2 Hector Waller (Commander) - Review card

There is no restriction of what type of ship you put a commander on. So if loosing a commander easily is a concern, attach to a more robust ship.

In wallers specific case being on a cruiser doesnt negate his flagship or fleet bonuses either.

Giving a unique SA for it here isnt really historic, since he went down with the perth. And a addedenum to the commander rule SA, will be limiting to aircraft and sub commanders.

Hector Waller - Australia 1939
Flag 1

Commander (Required): This unit is attached to a friendly ship in the deployment phase. If that ship is destroyed or removed from the map, this unit is removed from play.

Flagship 1

Aggression (Ship Bonus): If this unit is attached to a Destroyer or Cruiser. All local cruiser or destroyers roll +1 die on thier first attack of the surface attack phase.

Veteran Destroyer Flotilla (Fleet Bonus): If a local or adjacent destroyer is damaged or destroyed by a bomb attack. Roll a die, on +5 that unit takes no damage.

OPTIONS:
Potshot: The unit this commander is attached to is immune to mines.

Or

Transfer Flag: Once per game if the unit this commander is attached to is destroyed. You may transfer it to a local friendly ship.

----------------

So this is about where we are, we need an proposal, second of either the potshot or transfer flag option. Or a rejection/seconf of the proposal as a whole.

The general development window for this unit is closed. However, these cards will require testing for price and balance and won't immediately go to card creation.

Transfer flag on a destroyer is hugely important as they are “easy” targets and are often sunk in one round.

Hector Waller - Australia 1939 -Cost: 6(estimate)
Flag 1

Commander (Required): This unit is attached to a friendly ship in the deployment phase. If that ship is destroyed or removed from the map, this unit is removed from play.

Flagship 1

Veteran Destroyer Commander: If this commander is attached to a destroyer and that ship would be destroyed, roll a die. On a 4 or higher, destruction is prevented and the destroyer remains in the game with 1 hull point.


Aggression: If the number of enemy units in local or adjacent sectors is greater than the number of local or adjacent friendly ships. Local and adjacent destroyers and cruiser roll 1 additional die when making anti-air or main gunnery attacks. Abilities that give additional attacks can't be used with this ability

Potshot: The unit this commander is attached to is immune to mines.

Does this revision go some what to correcting the issue?

Why the exclusion of multiple attacks? Otherwise I would be ready to move this one towards playtesting.

Any other comments, thoughts on the various options?
