Convoy Question

@The_Good_Captain The rule applies in all sea battles where there are sea units allied to the attacker present, regardless of the type(s) of defending German sea units. The rule mentions only German subs because the author failed to take into account the possibility that the situation could also exist with German surface units if they were mobilized in a hostile sea zone. This oversight was corrected in the Axis & Allies Pacific Rulebook.

Thank you guys, that is a big help and will make the game go smoother.

I forgot all about this sticky thread in player help which applies to this question.  :oops:

Ahhh, you meant Europe.

See your post in the Player Help board.  :-)

Just play regularly with Germany first, then USSR, then Great Britain, then the USA for the whole game. That pattern never changes.

By circled territories do you mean Stalingrad, Leningrad, and Moscow? If so, they are circle shapes because they are cities, however you play them just like the regular territories.

@Anonymous:

also to note, if you attack a territory and win, u may NOT move there on non-combat. remember, all combat, non-combat, unit development, and the rest occur at the same time. so u cant land a plane in a place where there is a battle taking place.

for some reason i thought this was only true for aircraft (i.e. runways take a turn to build . . . ).

For the Allies to win, the Soviet counterattacks must be focused – and lucky! Build/borrow as many fighters as you can. Also I advise NOT strategic bombing. I cannot see how the high risk of aircraft loss is worth the gain of turning six German IPCs into ash. Gimme a break. Take out a couple of Wehrmacht infantry, and strafe & bomb Panzer divisions from the safety of a combined air-ground attack, and you can wipe out dozens of IPC value, with zero threat to your expensive air wings. Much better deal every time.

Meanwhile, the order of the day for the Yanks and Brits is to correctly manage the balance of transports, destroyers & troops they’ll need for D-Day. Simplify: Tan boats will haul tan troops, green will haul green. See if you can steal a forward fighter base, maybe best in Norway.

Avanti!

see pg 21 of the rule book:
“AA guns in a captured territory may not be moved in the same turn that the territory is captured”
