Rules: Submarine Sneak Attack

Why not ask if you need a transport to cross the Tasman sea. Heck, people can swim the English Channel so therefore no transport should be required, right?

Fair dinkum. This has got to be one of the weirdest A&A questions I’ve heard.

Everyone should just get some research tokens and play by my rules. I’m in the middle of a game right now and it’s working out to be the best house rule I’ve ever seen by a mile. Germany has 3 weapons, Russia 1, Japan 2, US 2, UK 2 with one token still to develop and share, Italy 2, ANZAC 1.

This is after the 4th round;

@General:

If you do it early enough you can take Gibraltar without the need for a navy. It does open up more landing spots for the Allies but taking the base from them is a hindrance to the American player. And if you maintain parity with the Soviets above the Black Sea you can then undercut them through the Caucasus.

Unlikely to be worth it though. Opening up the weak points in both Spain and Gibraltar doesn’t help the Axis. And those 8 inf in Turkey are a real pain to take out.

You can only retreat into territories that at least one attacking unit came from.  So no, you cannot retreat into A.

I think a new set of rules in PDF format should have been online a while ago, in respect for the customer who bought not a game, but what i call a ‘‘play test’’.
We dont even have rules to play europe alone yet!

k thank you

Ok enough. Don’t worry what Calvin does or any other member. Just do your part.

If you want to talk about other members don’t bring them up on public forums. We are not in the business of insulting other people or trying to sabotage them.

The important thing to understand about mechanized infantry movement is that they move in exactly the same way that tanks do, except that they can’t blitz without a tank.  In most cases, the confusion on this issue comes from the definition of the term “blitz”.

Many people define “blitz” as any two-space movement by a tank, but that’s incorrect.  A blitz movement is a combat movement through an unoccupied, enemy-controlled territory and into another territory.  Only the first territory is “blitzed”.  The second one is not, regardless of its status.

So, mechanized infantry may only make a combat movement through an unoccupied, enemy-controlled territory and into another territory when paired with a tank.  Any other two-space movement that a tank can legally make can also be made by a mechanized infantry without an accompanying tank.  This means that mechanized infantry may always move two friendly spaces alone in noncombat movement, and they may also move two spaces alone in combat movement if the first territory is friendly.
