Question on Setup and AAguns

thanx a lot for the answer.

Tried Alpha +1 for pacific only.  Still very very hard on the Allies.  I played Japan.  we’re both pretty good axis players…  Is there an Alpha 2 setup for Pacific?  We may play it stand alone a few more times,  but ultimately it appears broken and we probably will use it as an accessory for Global.

My friend JJ has a few Allies Ideas to try and I wanted to try the build a Major IC in Manchuria by US strategy and roll out some AA guns.  But seriously… it still greatly favors the Axis/Japan.  OOB Anzac gets a Major and in the Alpha 1  Anzac gets a minor.  Seriously?  Its like kicking the allies in the face when they’re already face down in the mud.    also the elmination of US bombers is a kicker .

Japan didn’t loose much  a few aircraft, and face a tougher China,  but it made little to no difference.  I built 2 minor IC’s by the 2nd turn and kicked the crap of of india.

Granted the US player didn’t threaten Japan very much by turn 5,  but still its a huge huge uphill battle for the Allies and it really shouldn’t have been since Japan realistically never got close to India

I use:

transport - TT
strategic bomber - bmb
cruiser - CR
submarine - sb

You’re welcome.

The unloading action is what stops a transport’s movement capability, whether you bridge and not move, load and move one space to unload or load and move 2 spaces to unload, etc etc.

Yes, Air and ground units can kill each other.  You have to understand that an Infantry unit contains infantry and all the support units that go with it.  Some of the support units will include AA units.  Axis and Allies is set up to be a big picture view of the war, not as much detail as you might imagine.  I can understand why it becomes confusing when we have artillery, armor and infantry represented seperately.  In earlier games, we didn’t have arty and it was understood they were part of the other manuver units.

Enjoy the game!

Yup.  Sea battle = no bombardment.

Does that mean it’s thinkable (I know it’s not logical, smart, wise and/or strategic at all) that UK & ANZAC are not going to war during the hole game?? When USA attacks, Japan can retaliate without provoking UK & ANZAC . Correct?
