@frimmel:

I believe so, yes.

thank you. i read the rule book and couldn’t find anything about them.  :oops:

Cool.  Thanks for everyone’s help with this topic!

I have more trouble picking up the country markers from the board than I do pieces.  But if I’m hopped up on demerol and grape soda then sometimes my fingers shake while placing a stack of chips with units on top and knock things over… but thats usually just in the capital cities where a lot of pieces are.  Now I use the number markers… so much easier!

Yeah, try “Strategy Games”.  That’s where I got mine.  (1683 Bayview Ave., 416-486-3395)

Hello!!! I am having a problem. I want to change my in-game A&A nick. In the internet gamespy login, I go to modify, and attempt to add " (panzer) " to my nick. It brings up a message stating that there are invalid characters in my nick. What is going on??? PS- I see other A&A players using the exact symbols that my version says are invalid!!!  :cry:

Thank you very much! That was indeed most useful!
cheers

Ooh, is there anybody interested in taking Don’s essays and writing updates to them for AAR. Just go point by point and analyze whether it is still valid (or not) in AAR and why.

@Baghdaddy:

What if the UK fleet unit is a carrier AND the US moves 2 Fighters in to the sea zone?

Do they have to move in during Combat Movement and fight the German fleet or can they move in during NonCombat Movement and just land on the UK carrier?

Well since I don’t think it is in dispute that they can attack the German fleet we can safely consider the sea zone hostile. You may only enter hostile sea zones during combat movement (with the exception of newly built ACs but I don’ t remember how exactly that conversation worked out.) So they can’t go there during non-combat.

If they have to Combat Move and fight can they retreat after one round and land on the UK carrier?

I’m going to say no on this. As according to the rules on retreats you must abandon the sea zone contested.

There was a conversation about newly built ACs put into enemy occupied sea zones and moving your fighters to that sea zone to land on the carrier. I’m not sure what was decided on that or if anything came down from Larry Harris or Avalon Hill. I think the consensus was that this was the exception for entering an enemy occupied space during non-combat.

A friendly AC in the zone may be the exception allowing retreat to the space you are retreating from.

I would flip a coin each time this came up and use that for the rest of the game.

Can you attach a saved game file here?  Save it just before combat, and make sure you describe the behaviour in detail (ie. which battle is screwing up, which round, what the rolls were, what you think they should have been, etc.)

thank you, now i can finish my turn.

Follow the instructions on the order cards.  They tell you all you need to know.

Yeah, lets just say I’m on a fixed income the printing shop idea isn’t in my budget.

Thanks for the advise,

@losttribe04:

I know how to turn a computer on, off, check email after that it starts getting gray. Does any one know of an on line A&A game that can play multi player where all five sides are represented, and play at the same time. Not posting results back and forth like triple A. Is there such an animal out there???

You know you CAN play TripleA live, right?

You DO know that, right?

Well . . . I guess you know it now.

@losttribe04:

Hey Frimmel,

Why do people use bidding to pawn off the Axis player?

Looks like everyone pretty much covered it. Thanks all. Especially Darth for the stats.

Hey,

I agree with you guys revised is the way to go; however, I had one buddy who just didn’t grasp the concepts until he started DDay. So I would have to say it depends on the person also.

The only thing I can think of that made DDay easy to start with is all the idiot cards tell you what to do in order. But for the most part I stick with revised

If there is a naval battle in the SZ that will be used to offload from for the amphib, then ALL Naval units (including the loaded TRNs) will be present for, and participate in, the naval battle.  That means the BB’s will engage the other ships for naval combat and cannot “withhold” fire in order to fire shore bombardment.
