New techs?????????

Thank you, that actually helped a lot. We had a general idea of the subs ability to submerge unless facing destroyers, but that got a little confusing when it came to combined arms.  Your comment about dice actually sorted that out. Thanks a bunch, I’m sure I’ll be back with questions about convoys, bombing, and scrambling once we play again.

Meant One map only for a shorter game.was talking Europe, but have a few problems with Pacific concerning set up, especially
Vis a Vis missing Russian Inf. In pacific only Japan should not be allowed to empty Manchuria and Korea as Russia borders them. Played a friend who sailed his Us fleet to Australia on T2 , before my T3 DOW. Was legitimate, but I feel it should not be. I now accept T2 DOW is seen as all as best. Would like to see a clarification of stand alone NOs and starting set ups. Sorry if I sound unclear.

Wow,

Alot’s changed in the last 20 years of Axis and Allies.  You’ve got alot more playable countries to work with, namely France, China, Italy, and ANZAC.  USSR always goes after Germany now, the submarine rules are WAY different, Battleships and Carriers take 2 hits to go down, they made the cities on the board the victory conditions, there are diplomatic rules as in how and why the USSR and USA come into the war…

Also, a list of the new pieces:
-Artillery (pair with infantry to increase attack power)
-Mech Infantry (moves 2)
-Tactical Bombers (pair with fighters or tanks to increase attack power)
-Destroyers (anti-sub)
-Cruisers (less powerful Battleship)
-Air Bases and Naval Bases (increase range of planes and ships)

There are major and minor complexes now, SBR rules are different, and if you go into neutral countries now you have to fight instead of paying 3 bucks.

No problem! It is however different from the AA50. There are no tokens anymore, so every 5 IPC is a one chance die only. I think our first houserule will be to get those tokens back, but at a higher price. There is relatively more IPC to go around, so I think 6, 7 or 8 is a better price. Or as I read somewhere that you need to pay an upkeep of 1 IPC every turn.

what are those russian units in the med?

oh wait, is that italy?

why are they so brown-red?  surely they could have made them more distinct, or made russia less brown.

@Brain:

Targeted attacks would be a nice rule, perhaps you would select your target and then attack at 1 less than your normal attack value.

IMTO, I don’t think the level of detail in A&A combat supports targeted attacks unless the Techs you’re envisioning are jet power + Harpoons / ALCMs.

Maybe I should have said focused attack.

Sure you can clean the bathrooms at WoTC.

If you could clean bathrooms you would be overqualified to work at WOTC.
