I have a question: Relevant rule from the US/Axis tension table: "Event Modifiers: Event modifiers are implemented only when the indicated event occurs. Event...

This is very minor question about shock armies. If a 1-3 shock army attacks with 3 factors in a limited offensive, this would presumably cost 1 BRP. So if the...

Thank you for your response. Is it possible the words "air defenses" could be changed to "defending air units" in that rule? The reason is that "air defense"...
