My play group runs out of Japanese tanks. They usually get two IC’s in Asia, and go for the tank March to Moscow. I scavenged extra tanks and roundels from my original Axis and Allies game.
In AA50, enemy subs and transports can be completely ignored, as long as you don’t engage any of them.
(If you attack a sub/transport combo with a fighter and also try to land there amphibiously, the sub can sink your transport. You can’t pick and choose what to ignore within a single zone)
Axis_roll is correct. Sea units may not enter or leave sea zone 16 under this optional rule. Bulgaria/Romania being cut off from the Mediterranean is just a by-product of the way the map is drawn.
Welcome Cobblepot! AA50 is a great game. If you run into problems finding opponents and/or time to play,
then check out AA50 Modules for Battlemap, and try PBF (Play by Forum) here on this website.
