Wow. Thank you.

@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.

@The_Good_Captain That would be interesting to know, because when I received the answer on my question that time, we ended our Europe game and… my brother (Axis) won from me. The allies were marching to Moscow in order to save them but were just one round to late; Germany took Moscow. So in a desperate attempt to strike back to Berlin with all available forces of the allies, my attack failed and Berlin survived, game over. Or not ?

According to what Krieghund said here, I would say yes.

@The_Good_Captain Hmmm. It seems when I answered this before, I neglected to consult the FAQ. The answer here is correct, and the answer in the other thread is not. I have corrected it there. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Yup, that makes sense. Thanks again guys!

@Krieghund ok tks

I would say classic is the one to break people in with, then move on to Europe and then Pacific. The rules have gotten more complex since classic which was pretty simple and had few “and/if” rules like Europe and Pacific have. I know personally that after playing AAE and AAP it is hard to go back to classic because it is so simple, so you might just try and have them watch you play or they play a game with you but you help them out the first game or two, like tell them when to do a SBR or why it is important to build infantry only for Russia, simple strategy like that. I have learned to keep noobs interested you can’t own them their first game, or they will just quit and never want to play again.

Play the game over at gleemax. Its free and you wont have to figure out too much because the program does everything for you except buy, move and place new units.

I don’t believe so, because while I don’t have a copy of the rules at hand, I think Non-Combat Move occurs before unit placement.

Any other ideas other than this?

turn 0 - use 8 ipcs to buy a transport and but with other transport in mediteranian.

turn 1 - buy 2 bombers and another transport. load up transports in mediteranian with 2 troops 2 artilery. move full fleet to the gilbrata stright take out gb destroyer. uplace 1 troop on gilbratar straight. use subs in atlantic to take out all british fleet. load up that transport with 1 artilery 1 troop. move it with the largest remainer of german subs. place bomber in northern italy with rest of fighters. leave everthing alone in africa. move most troops in europe to defend from russia. if gb has no transports left leave troops along northern coast alone but be sure to leave troops to defend the mediteranian anywhere the british transport can land troops. place new bombers in north italy transport in tyriana sea.

turn 2 - buy 3 fighters save rest. now move subs to intercept all things being shiped for g.b. and or russia. reload troop in gibratar onto transport and move them into the azores sea. have other transport meet it there. use fighters and bombers in northen italy to destroy the british boats. if bombers can reach gibratar afterwards just use fighters. if u can move them there too. if so put them there to "claim the are to defend from amerikan reinforcements. place new fighters in northern italy.

turn 3 - just buy troops to reinforce the eastern front with as much mone possible. move all fleet to the us coast use subs to take the hits along with bb ship. don’t use transports destoyers or use the bb ships last hit. use bb ships and destroyers to bombard us coast. use the bombers in gilbratar too. land the troops and artilery.

if anyone has any ideas on how to improve leave a message
Peace
