Assets

[Alex M]

Does the new AK use the assets system ? Only asking as I'm a massive fan . Cheers Alex

Hello Alex

No assets in AK PE.
There are battle tokens created by the pre game scenario though.

Thanks ,I look forward to trying them out 👍🏻

Also a really great new mechanism called 'Communications' which sort of does the same job as assets in that you can get airstrikes, reinforcements, bring back bases that have ran away and get rid of dead bodies...that kind of thing!

It's a new mechanism and one of the many great new aspects of the rules.

I like this part to, it's the bit that makes this particularly different, for modern warfare a very good way of obtaining these useful items ?
Well thought out again Martin, thank you.

Thanks for the info gents , sounds like there's some more innovative rules mechanics to enjoy in the near future , Alex

Yes, the new "Communications" part of each turn is a lot of fun.

Thanks for enjoying the communication mechanism.

It is however proving to be a difficult concept for many players.
The major difficulty is "why don't I just use the maximum each time?"

I will do a bunch of videos for AK.

[Sean Clark]

We are finding people go thr maximum or none at all.

Also, some players (me included) get carried away and say I want HE, rather than the number.

Another one is some players think you have to split your Comms points over both rolls and not that you get all of your points available for both rolls.

Need to bring back the residual one for all assets.

[Sean Clark]

But there are no assets in new AK47 

[martin goddard]

The residual 1 does come up now and again in discussions.

Quick one on the residual "1" I was disappointed that Martin dropped it, but I also understand why he dropped it.
So my line would be for a normal game play the rules as is !
But there might be specific games, scenarios that certain things come into play ? Including having residual 1 s on assets ?
I am thinking of suggesting that the overall CC in Berlin could have access to more assets ? According to availability? Maybe include just residual "1"
It is only a thought? It would have to be managed properly I think ?

Is this still an AK47 discussion?
