I recently bought the AAE game and really like the improvements they made to the rules and the new units.
I’m looking forward to play some PBEM so I downloaded and installed mapview but can’t seem to find the AAE module anywhere. I’ve searched the net but in vain.
AS TO THE ORIGINAL QUESTION, YES YOU MISSED A RULE. GERMANY CANNOT BUT 56 IPC’S WORTH OF ANYTHING IN THE FIRST ROUND (YOUR 4 TRANSPORTS & 2 DETSTROYERS.
plith7, the rules for naval placement have changed in AAE, if the us places naval units they can now fight instead of simply being destroyed, make a german blockade a very expensive venture.
