russia usually doubles their initial IPC. although the usa usually still has the highest IPC. of course this is obviously only true when I’m the allies and I win. :lol:

i usually see japan take the most increased IPC win (that is, when there’s RR and a bid)

I’m curious, does anyone play the Classic with a homebrew Cold War set up? I’m thinking about copying the A&A Iron Blitz set up, but if anyone has their own, I’d love to see it!

@Mn-guy Yes, other units can participate in the sea battle. Other than being a prelude to an amphibious assault, it is just like any other sea battle. The rules on page 15 mention only battleships and transports because they are the only units that can participate in the land battle.

As a side note, attacking air units must, of course, be assigned to either the sea or the land battle, as indicated by where they end their combat movement. They cannot participate in both, even if the amphibious assault is against an island.

Fighters can capture neutral territories but can they still conduct combat?

@Krieghund Thanks! (For completeness, I should have been more clear in that Germany controlled Persia at the beginning of its turn in this example. i.e. there was/is a legal landing zone for the fighter)

@coachdcj Player 2 is correct. From the Official Rules Clarifications document (page 4):

You can never give an ally anything: units, territories or I.P.C.'s.

@thecabal

The practical application in an actual game is the following:

This can adversely affect naval battles with multiple unit types on both sides and land battles in which the defender has a bomber(s) or a defense with multinational forces present.

It can cause the defender to misallocate his hits not knowing if the attacker is going to roll hot, cold or par.

@AdmirlScuttlebut said in Found an MB copy of Axis and Allies ...:

Don’t know if you would know the answer to my question but maybe if you don’t you can direct me some one who might. I also just received a copy of the original game but not for $3. It came with a cardboard sheet of custom roundels that look pretty old. I have never seen these before they include: 4 yellow with the image of a zero, 6 yellow pill box, 12 jap control markers with numbers in the center, 12 USA control markers with numbers in the middle of them, 10 marines with eagle globe and anchor logo, 6 commando with skull and cross bones logo, 6 German SS with patch logo, 4 fighters unavailable this turn for duty with red circled a/c logo, 6 paratroopers with patch logo, 6 air transport with a/c art work, 6 troop carriers with truck art work, finally 2 with artillery art work. Any ideas as to who made them?

That sounds like the gamers paradise expansion. I have all three expansion sets they put out.

Does it feel good to win individually in this game?

I have played many 5-way “every man for himself” A&A games. We’ve done it two ways, both original setup for each player (using the reference cards) and the scanario where everyone gets an equal number of units at the beginning, all to be placed on their capitals. We like the latter better, but both work.

For both versions, we set a time limit, and whoever has gained the most territory points at the end of the last round wins. Each player gets his country assignment randomly, and yes, it definitely makes a difference. GB is the toughest by far, so that player will have to use diplomacy to survive. Germany and Russia will fight each other to the death unless they form a nonagression pact (which is usually broken eventually). Japan and th US are in the best positions to win, but often end up in a similiar war of attrition as Germany/Russia.

I love this version of the game because it is totally open-ended, there’s no tried and true strategy to win. We make everything tradeable, IPC’s, territories, units, whatever. If you can make a deal, go for it. The only rule is that trades must be physically transacted during one of the “traders” turns.

Other than that, all standard rules apply. This might be right up your alley, Patriot. Give it a shot.
