Shat,

Loading and unloading from a transport is the unit’s “entire move”.

To clarify, It’s G1 combat move , you can load the transport, move the transport, and unload for an attack.

I believe you’re in the wrong forum.  It sounds like you have the Revised edition from 2004, whose forum can be found here.  That would explain the difference in the shore bombardment rules.

Yes, subs get their sneak attack in each round that an enemy destroyer is not present.

Correct, SZ 8 is obviously adjacent to SZ 6. So on G1 - if you want - you can move the German fleet from SZ 5 to SZ 8.

Played a game tonight as the allies. Allies won, with Russia building a Battleship in the Black Sea just for fun…it was the greatest thing ever  :-D

That is what I thought. Thankyou.

For which power? I tend to do an air buy for the British in India (I know most prefer an air buy an place it in England) to keep the Japanese at bay, also abandon Australia and move the infantry over to India. America  an “shuck” fighters over to Australia if the Japanese don’t take it on turn one and the British place an inf there round 2. Russia, if you’re playing with the revised set up, can usually afford to launch a massive attack on West Russia and do a round of combat or two against Ukraine before falling back on the Caucus. Pull the far east units back slowly towards Moscow, if you see the opportunity you can use these units to launch a counter attack against the Japanese if they ever occupy China.

As for the Axis…kill everything in your path  :-P…but I do consider an attak against British Eygpt to be vital to the Axis on R1.

@UtahJazzfan8:

Weather sucks here also. It’s been windy and rainy… probably in the mid 30s right now!!!  :-P

Thanks for the tips. I’m hoping to start my first game of A&A tomorrow after work.

2 feet of snow just dropped in a few hours here lol :P.

I wish you luck, I’m sure you’ll have fun.

LOL There’s practically nothing on the board!!!

I would keep pumping out MEN.

The more men Japan builds, the harder it will be for the US to take it, and they won’t be able to afford it.

The same goes for Germany.  Infantry are going to be your best friend here, you’ve conquered Russia! Now it’s about killing everything off of the mainland.

As Japan, I would build up Fighters after securing my capital.  They have long range, are cheaper than boats, and the US will have to buy expensive carriers to keep them away.

I’m not sure what you mean by “models” – but if you’re referring to the sculpted plastic playing pieces (infantry, tanks, ships, planes, etc.), the ones in 1941 are the same general size as in every other A&A game.  The only A&A sculpt produced to date whose size is regarded as deviating significantly from the others is the ANZAC infantry sculpt from the second edition of Europe 1940.

As for sources where you can buy additional units of different types, in the correct sizes, the best place to start would be Historical Board Gaming (HBG).

That caught my eye aswell, the tanks in 1942 were an awesome model, kind of weird seeing Japanese Tigers

Well, it’s not hard - then again buying enough navy to get enough troops over (without BB bombardment etc.) can take a LONG time…

I think it’s a fun game, especially if you want something relatively quick and simple. While I love Global, occasionally it is nice to play something that is so simple. I think it is more fun as the attacker because you simply don’t have to worry about SBRs or shore bombardment. Also, no AA fire to threaten your planes.
I think it is easier for the Axis to win. I have played a handful of games and only once so far did the Allies win, although I have not tried the new changes in setup yet. Also, I might have been just lucky so far (I usually play Axis). I have noticed if certain battles don’t go right for the Axis, the Allies could gain the upper hand.
Basically, it’s good if you just got a couple of hours or so to kill and you don’t want to leave the game set up.

My mother was an English teacher, but I have a flair for the vernacular.

That actually sounds like it might work.

At what turn did you do the landing?

Leave it as it is, historically, at this point in time it is axis biased, the US just entered the war so they need to rebuild, russia was loosing ground and england was england.  The game was set up so the axis can win in the short run but be challenged in the long run

I’m pretty sure it’s allies biased

I like this game for what it’s intended for, it’s not necessarily ment to be a totally dictated by strategy- luck plays a huge part in it as well and i have come to terms with it.

Thanks for the heads up, Lydian. That is a most interesting development… If enough people agree with the changes perhaps Larry & Krieg could propose an offical amendment to the set up.

whole new beginner level game.
