Last Night !

@Spud said in Combined bombardment in AAR:

Does anyone know if the destroyers need to be accompanied by a battleship in order to use combined bombardment?

No. There’s nothing in the rules indicating that.

@Jay_Herk There was a “Revised Orders” sheet that came with this version, which answered questions regarding the changes. The answers provided there for your questions are:

Many players had observed that tanks seemed a worse buy than infantry. An attack with six tanks against ten infantry was skewed toward the infantry. Even if you won, your tanks were sitting ducks for a counterattack. Now six tanks are about equal in value to ten infantry. The pieces are bolder in color because we wanted people to be able to tell who’s who from across the room.

I hope this helps.

@largowin said in Rockets have a firing range of 3 or 4?:

Thanks for the link to the latest rules. If I understand correctly, can I use these rules with my 2004 version of the game?

No, use the ones you already have. The rules I provided the link for are for newer games.

@the-captain

Amazing!

@Imperious-Leader A narco topic but it still comes up in a Google Search. ;-)

Anyway, for words that are not Axis & Allies. I like the Elizeth font.

O dear I see.  Yay I know what you mean, I guess I was kinda different as a newb.  When I first played, I was against a somewhat experienced player.  So my first game (as allies) I would do my turn very quickly so I could see how he would do one side.  Then on the second game (as axis) I’d do kinda what he did to me, to see how he reacted.  In that way of action and reaction I learned to play my turns quick and kept it that way.  And I hate to just sit around.

Swell!

How things can go totally nuts :-)

the morale of the story?
NEVER GIVE UP TOO EASILY  8-)

Maybe try to let him take Caucasus :-P
withdraw almost all of your units from G in Caucasus to Moscow…
let him take Caucasus, and counter it with J instead!!!
then J has more IPC’s and can get more units to the front than G ever will.
G loses 4 IPC’s but gets 4 Japanese armor to help instead :-)

Why not withdraw all units, you say?
If you do that, he’ll see what your up to…
if you play a little poker, and make a calculation that will lose statistically…
he’ll see an opening because he thought you made a mistake!
leaving it wide open will make him suspicious.
