@The_Good_Captain Yes I noticed the same thing after our first game (where I brought the SC with the flank instead of the MECH) and made the adjustment. Doesn’t come up often but when it does it can swing the numbers ever so slightly.
Cmd Jen (Axis) vs Botider (Allies) Alpha+3 Gm 1

In other words you may have to explain the rules to him, I also strongly suggest the allies get a bid for the older version.

I am not referring to the Pacific. I am only talking the Atlantic near Canada. As far as I saw in Larry’s site, that rule did not change in Alpah 3.9 either. Basically, the way I read the rules, America is not allowed to move within one movement of Africa, Europe or the British Isles (England/Ireland).
The Pacific rule has always (Alpha 3, Alpha 3.9) been that America can go anywhere except end next to a Japanese territorory.
@Cow:
also jen the links you provided have been changed to reflect the updated rules, I am not sure where I can find the older version of a+3 online… I had it printed out but I threw it away when the newer version came out.
I quoted the rule and gave a link.

America squeeks out a victory. Though, I should have expected to only get one of your ships.
I need scramble orders for SZ 109. The French guy still gets to unload, of course, and I am not sure if England wants to expend RAF on SZ 109. Come to think of it, I don’t think they would - if you change your mind, I can roll more defenders later.

For those observers out there, obviously I am doing something radically different than Sea Lion.
-
scratch that, moving the Aircraft Carrier to the destroyer fleet.
-
ok, looks fine. interesting move… i kinda figured you would go for russia since it would expend less of your army. a fine play… those 3 inf/3 arm are going to wreak a lot of havoc, i fear.
one french move… the dd moves to join the british fleet off india.
i will get australia 2 and russia 3 posted later today.

They had 14 IPC, not 12 IPC as I thought when I posted the turn - according to the map. So they saved 4, not 2.
And yes, I am trying something new with the Axis, namely, not suiciding on England’s doorstep.
-
never mind, they bought a destroyer round 1, they couldnt have had 4 left over. They had 2.
