Can Egypt’s naval base be utilized in both SZ 98 and 81? In other words if you have naval units in the Red Sea(81) and you control Egypt can they move three SZs instead of two?

Yes. Any adjacent sea zone to a naval base gains the bonus. This assumes the ship started its turn in that sea zone and it is a friendly naval base.

Gallipoli is also an excellent Mel Gibson movie before Mel Gibson went nutso. Great movie about a terrible operation. I blame Churchill.

Might not have been the wildest game , but my best friend has not recovered and still talks about how ridiculous it is, so he is the wildest part of the story!
Won D-Day with 1Art in St Lo(my only unit), when he probably had 15-20 units left all poised to conquer a vacant Normandy.
Might ring him tonight and remind him of it:
I love Axis favoured games.

@Maddog77:

What’s w/ all the whining going on about the “new” tank rule? It’s not a new one either. 3-2-2-5 is the “old” rule since the game was marketed in the early '80s. It’s only a buck more now. Big deal. Simmer down folks and relize it’s only a game. Getting you panties all bunched up and calliing names is pretty lame and infantile. Do some of you need a time out? Or do I have to get the belt out? :-D

As far as the “rule” goes, I like the current 3-3-2-6. Only for the defense factor. But when I play the original, it’s 3-2-2-5. So I don’t rely on tanks for defense as much as I do a stack of Infantry.

Amazing! when tanks defend at three I use them for defense
when tanks defend at two I use infantry for defense

That was precisely my thought, McLovin. I feel, at this point in time, Germany needs a method to produce warships in the Med. If one allows Italy to take S. France, this - essentially - means that Germany has to build a complex in Yugoslavia. This may be a good idea in the long run anyway, making it a little easier to reinforce the south against Russia. (OOB this could be a major complex, Alpha 2 I do not think it can.)

I feel an Airbase would be nice to accompany the complex in Yugoslavia, if you go this route, since then you can put 6 fighters in the air for cover air patrol. But again, if you have S. France, I think you would not need this. (Little harder since you have to build Italy in one zone and Germany in another instead of combined, but much cheaper.)

It’s flexible. You want to protect Wake and Guam enough that Japan has no realistic chance at taking them. Even falling back to Wake if needed. If you start this out on J1 because Japan allows it and then they turn and go 100% against you, then yea, you probably would need to buy a destroyer and all aircraft for their scramble ability. If they ignore you for a time and go to India, then you could do it for less. Basically, I see them spending 38-41 ipc/round in the Pacific on the cheap side. Some rounds they may spend more if the player sees it fit to do so. The good thing about this is that once the war bonus kicks in, it may give you a chance to split your income almost 50/50 so that you aren’t totally ignoring either theater.

Any way to play without NO's?

“Taranto Raid” refers to the November 1940 assault by the United Kingdom on the Italian navy, docked at Taranto.

It’s often used on this forum to describe a first-turn attack by the UK on Italy’s Mediterranean fleet.
