Hello Guys.
I have already purchased Axis and Allies Pacific 1st Edition. Is it possible to connect Axis and Allies Europe 2nd Edition with it? Or are those two not compatible?
Sorry I am new to this game and dont know the different rules of those two versions :dog:
Thank you in advance!

Which version of Europe 1940 do I have? Box matches SE design but no ‘Second Edition’ print.

Thanks, that helps a lot. I would still like to have the missing and altered pieces/ sculpts. Basically it was a labeling mistake by the seller. On the other hand, sending it back and looking for another offer is too much hassle. Maybe I can fix it with a 3D print :-)
I’ve known Axis & Allies for a long time, but the Europe and Pacific versions somehow slipped past me. They’re really well improved compared to the rather simple world version.

@Foxtrot
Yes. However, the FAQs currently don’t have a home online. I’m working to correct that. They can be found on the Downloads Page. The only change that makes a difference to game play is on the Pacific map. Sea zone 5 is not adjacent to Korea. The border between sea zones 5 and 6 now meet at the border between Amur and Korea, leaving Amur still touching only sea zone 5 but Korea touching only sea zone 6. This was actually an erratum for the 1st edition.

@SouthsideCH:

@ColonelCarter:

That assumption is wrong. While Germany starts the scenario controlling those territories, they are still original Russian territories, similar to how the Chinese territories controlled by Japan at the start of the games are still original Chinese territories, preventing Japan from building major ICs on anything but Korea.

Then why in the set up instructions does it say put a German control marker on the territory, as well as units? Just a unit on it should be enough. Every time you take an enemy territory do you put a control marker on it? I don’t.

You can play however you want of course. But the rulebook clearly states:

@rulebook:

If you have captured the territory, place your control
marker on the territory and adjust the national production
levels.

While the emblem printed on the map indicates the original controller of the territory
the control marker indicates the the actual controller of the territory - as ColoneCarter pointed out.

There are some rules where the distinction between original and actual controller is of importance.
The 3 IPC bonus for Russia is only one example. The territories you mentioned can never become
“original German, Italian, or pro-Axis neutral territory that the Soviet Union controls”.
When the scenario begins Germany has already captured some original Russian territories.
If Russia takes them back, they will be original Russian territories under Russian control.

So better avoid confusion.
HTH :-)

Okay +3 more ipc to the usual 12 allies bid. Makes no difference to me. Kind of lame because that 3 more ipc would go to a more strategic spot like right below it to smack ethiopia with better odds.

mmm, that is fine. I might see more crazy korea attacks.

I wish the developers would post some of their games if they are doing it online. I really want to see the logic in -1 inf for egypt in an already axis stacked game. Too many people complained about Italy sucking I guess, but they never hear the tears of UK hitting the floor. London should start with more money to defend itself, 37 starting income seems more reasonable. 9 inf fighter.
?

Allied strategy discussion. What to do against different axis moves?

Still taking india round 3 must be rough. defense 2 aa guns roughly 15+ guys. offense 21 air with 6 man drop. If he loses india he should get decent TUV kill and china should still be around for a little bit longer.

Plus it is a dead giveaway if all your warships are figs get put down there, which is why ya need your destroyer for a bit. Depending on how you position before you take the islands for your NO.

Jenn, don’t talk to me, you obviously didn’t read the last part of what I said.
