You have to bring a warship in order to ignore the sub.

On this line, the old guy could be named:
Axis & Allies 2nd Edition (Classic)
or, to cover all:
Axis & Allies 1st/2nd/3rd Editions (Classic)
Since you don’t see “Classic” anywhere in the box or the manual or anything for real, it fits better between parenthesis (people that don’t know stuff might think it’s not the one, since the one they have is not called “Classic” anywhere, of course).

If we’re talking about just one ship in a sea zone carrying just one or two units, there’s not much potential for confusion. If we’re dealing with a situation in which a large number of transports in a single sea zone are carrying a large number of units, the simplest solution would be to keep all the transported units physically off the board and to represent their presence on the board via one or more markers. This is basically the principle of the task force markers that were used in the original A&A Pacific game.

There would be two basic approaches. If you consider the transported units to be a single group, all you need to do is plunk the sculpts into a pile off the board and to put a small marker – anything would do – next to the group of ships transporting them. If, on the other hand, you want to track in detail which-unit-is-aboard-what-ship (so you can figure out what troops and equipment get lost when ship X gets topedoed, for instance), then you’d need to put a little numbered (or lettered) marker next to (or under) each ship, and a corresponding marker off the board next to each unit or pair of units being transported. Scrabble tiles could be pressed into service in that role, as one possible quick-and-dirty solution. For a more elegant, you could use HBG’s cardboard naval task force markers, of which it has a wide selection.

In any case, this would fix the transportation problem without having to replace the ships themselves (or until replacement ships become available, if you want to look at it that way).

@ColonelCarter:

(…)
Point (3) only says that the dice must be rolled simultaneously (i.e. before any casualties are chosen), it does not say that you don’t have to keep track of what unit rolled what. (…)

Thanks, Colonel, that cleared it to me. I can sleep well again, knowing I always played it right ;-).

@cts17:

The Germans must get past the British fleet before they can conduct Sealion, people.

Before you rant at me and call me retarded by saying the Brits have no fleet, consider this:

It’s because you never built one.

If they build one, Germans go around the island and land in UK from Z109. Since you bought a fleet, there is little opposition on the island

I am in a Global game now. We just finished Round 9 and decided on a break for a while. I am playing Germany and the Russian player is also handling China.
Germany captured Paris Round 1, forced a Sealion Round 2 and was successful but at somewhat high cost. Round 3 took the 3 big neutrals - Spain, Sweeden and Turkey - which also took a fair amount of resources. Therefore, I don’t think I was able to build up enough in the east for Barbarossa like I would have preferred. I had a good force by end of Round 3, but it certainly could have been better.
Italy really struggled with Britain in Africa and the Med.
Japan took a gamble by bringing USA into the war Round 1 by attacking Brits and the Philippines.
As for Russia, first three rounds she spent building a lot of infantry along the border with a few artillery and tanks. Round 4 Russia actually attacked Germany, which I really was not expecting. Sank all my transports and took an unoccupied Sweeden from me. Round 5, she had destroyed all three army groups in Europe, took Warsaw and was only frustrated by Finland with a bloody repulse. Round 6, she threw a massive army at Berlin. Lucklily, the last couple of rounds of combat went my way and Berlin survived with just 1 fighter unit left. Both sides were severely depleted but Germany still had her capital.
Fast forward to Round 9.
Now Germany is getting strong again, starting to advance into Russia itself and threatening Leningrad. German Navy has been sunk by the US Navy and they keep fighting back and forth over Spain, which US currently holds with a fairly strong force.
Italy finally finished off all British and French troops in Africa and has a tank running around blitzing territories. Most of Italy’s resources have been spent trying to help Germany with Spain and threatening Russia with a small force from the south.
Japan has all but destroyed China – 1 territory and 1 infantry unit left. They have grabbed Calcutta and control Eastern Asia and the DEI. However, both the Imperial Navy and the US Navy have been slugging it out and are almost non-existant. Also, Japan has tanks creeping west toward Russia.
So, while Russia is still a ways from being “out of it”, they are in pretty bad shape. I have seen this in other games as well. Russia is just too dang big and can’t seem to get a decent number of reiinforcements to the front. When they start a big offensive, if it runs out of steam then it seems like Germany always grinds them back. Unless the US can get over there with a large enough force to really threaten Germany in Western Europe, Russia will be taken out and then Germany will have plenty of money to deal with the US and push them back out of Europe with help from Italy.

How do you space your european american transport fleet out?
