A&A 2nd Edition IPC (& More) Log Sheet

Wrong subforum - this one is for the coming 2nd edition of Axis and Allies Spring 1942.

The one you’re looking for is below, Axis and Allies 2nd Edition. Please wait until the mothership teleports this message to the relevant subforum. Thank you.

@calvinhobbesliker:

Why can’t Russia buy inf round 1? Do they already have 20 inf? Why is China neutral when it was the first allied nation at war?

Russia starts with all twenty infantry on the board.  This is actually less than they start with in MB’s 2nd edition.

As for China, it was neutral but pro U.S. - a mechanic which was dropped from A&A.  I can’t say why, you’d have to ask Larry.

Yeah I have read that thread. I use to read TripleA forum. I actually made one small contribution to tripleA. In the last or the second last release there is my alias. So cool.

No it wasn’t AI. It was just allowing one sea zone to be connected to more than one canal. This is essential for mappers who wanted black sea canal.

But until we improve the engine…support for AI, house rules or even just “standard” games like LHTR, AAP, AAE, etc will not be straight forward.

I guess we can’t even do my “Buy one destroyer for every enemy ship” if the engine doesn’t even let you see the world.

Wow a whopping six votes. Hold on I want to make sure I counted right. (don’t want a recount demanded).

I kinda thought thats how it would play out. But I do think that Agent orange makes a good point. Then again I suppose I guess it depends on what you are looking for in a game.

i also like the original A&A

HUGE rule change from 1st to second:

Commander-in-cheif rule:
An allied commander may use allied peices in an attack (i.e. Russia can use UK peices in Karlea to attack Ukrane). 1st edition only, eliminated because of the complete unfairness, but it was very historically accurate (D-Day was really D-Day)

Land rule:
Sea zone and land zone are THE SAME (i.e. 3 BBs could take WEu from germanby and hold it). VERY strange rule, I’m glad they got rid of it. 1st edition only.

That’s all I know about it.

“He beat me.”

More likely you beat yourself! :P
