Thread: Targets not to be hit

  1. #1

    Default Targets not to be hit

    These cards can be added by the target, but unlike the target, they must not be hit (penalty).

    La Brasserie de Papa Langolis (Brewery of Papa Langlois). If you hit it, you have to drink soda during the following pub debriefing.

    Shouldn't the trucks be backed up to a loading dock?
    An interesting card which I have to add to my growing collection.
    So how many books are in your personal library?

    Yes they should. Unless they are on strike
    Good catch!

    Sounds almost like Nam... Hanoi knew diplomatic quarters were off limits, so they'd place supply dumps around those and dare us to hit 'em.

    Some of Milosevic's forces in Bosnia did the same thing parking tanks, artillery etc. next to schools, churches, other No Hit targets... until some USAF officers got creative and put laser-guidance kits onto concrete-blivet training rounds. Even with no boom, 500lb of concrete falling on you from an F-16 20,000 feet still ruins your day...

    Interesting idea to add some realism, by making Oops Wrong Targets have tangible consequences... safe bet that a pilot who fragged a No Hit wouldn't be in the bar for drinks afterward, good chance he'd be confined to quarters awaiting Review Board or worse.

    I updated the card. The strike is over and Papa Langlois has his brand name on trucks.

    Oh that could be fun, have multiple truck convoys on the board and you have to hit a specific one while not hitting the others... say, a scenario of one enemy "critical cargo" target, two enemy decoys and one or two friendlies. Could be fun as a faster-paced version of a "balloon soccer" event we tried at Enfilade long ago--the object was fly across the table and smoke the other team's balloon while preventing them from doing same to yours's.

    There could be 3 attached cards of beer tracks with different numbers on their back sides. A recon aircraft would have to flip them till they find say "3" and that would be the target. The other two would be illegal targets. Then the bombers come and bomb the legal target. If they hit the illegal target, they will be penalized.

    Let's make it stronger... hit the brewery and not only no drinks for you, YOU buy the round.
