Can you build air/naval bases on allied territories?

@tank-buster said in Can aircraft make noncombat move thru friendly neutral if land units move into it on the same turn?:

I thought that might be the case but since aircraft could fly over an unfriendly neutral if they attacked it

Depending on what you mean this is or is not correct. When you say “fly over” if you mean they can fly into the unfriendly territory during the Combat Movement phase and attack it in the Combat phase and then in the Non-combat phase fly out then that is correct. If you mean some units attack an unfriendly neutral and other air units fly into and out of the unfriendly neutral during the Combat Movement phase to attack elsewhere that is not allowed if this is the first time the unfriendly neutral has been attacked.

@Cow:

It is still to your advantage to go to war sooner than later. J1 DOW is the way to go for this unless you trying to take over America, you get pretty good odds for it still.

I disagree with you here Cow. Pacific is a lot different than global. I even think it might even be best to wait till turn 3 to attack allies after they have declared war on you. This will keep America from getting her 30 dollar bonus, and her 40 dollar bonus for two turns. That is a total of 99 less, since you would take phil in a T1 attack. Haven’t played enough games to be 100% sure, but taking India is a lot easier, and your real problem is taking Hawaii. I don’t know how you can ever take Sydney if the allies are competent at all.

@mastermind93:

If I remember correctly, you can’t build a Major IC in a foreign territory. I do agree, though, on the importance of the Caroline Islands.

I think originally it was allowed. If not, i’ve been had ;)

@xzorn:

A major sticking point among my friends in playing Axis and Allies is the wait time between turns.

What about having a combined purchase phase for all players?
And use markers for each IC (like fleet markers) to position purchases awaiting placement.

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!

Yes playing by myself is a real bummer, trying to find people in my area “Nashville”.  Good new is my son and my son-in-law both will be moving here some time this year.  Until then I have no choice but to play myself.  The good news is I win every time.  The bad is news is I loose just as many……

I have a negative comment on your comment about negativity, but this time I will keep my comment to myself. :-D

Hmm cool. I stand corrected.

Thanks Krieg
