@Frontovik:

german battleship can’t reach british battleship. so you can easily use bomber in egypt then ^^

German battleship is 2 spaces away from UK battleship so it can reach.

Assuming you can go south of sz6 between Scotland and Ireland

assuming or presuming?

They are the same thing. Unless you are trying to nitpick some historical meaning, if so then I am assuming as I have seen the map,but axis and allies has had sz connection confusion in the past.

@Imperious:

1. Note: Russia builds 2 units probably 2 infantry, or 1 Artillery and 1 infantry.

Looks like Artillery is included on 41 after all ;)

Typo corrected and it is a great plan.

german battleship can’t reach british battleship.

Also, German Baltic fleet goes to SZ 6 then SZ 8. It can reach.

Subs work the same as A&A 1942.

German BB can’t reach UK BB, it’s in SZ5, and UK BB is in SZ8.
There are SZ6 SZ7 between them.
3 fighters to hit the AC are too much, just put the DD and sub on.
On the other hand, no need to worry about transport.
you won’t have a second chance to hit egypt.

And as Australia has only on 1 IPC, so you can’t place two new built units on it.

I really don’t think not attacking egypt is a wise option.
2 inf and 1 tank in egypt mean a lot to UK, Russia.
North Africa is non-worth, if I were UK, I would never attack it for no profit.
On the contrary, I would absolutely abandon Africa and pull off the army from egypt, if germany didn’t attack Egypt,

Not correct.Look it goes from Baltic to SZ 6, then thru Scotland and UK to SZ 8. expand the pic and see.

Idea is to get 2:1 and reduce loses to a minimum so that Germany gets one or both fleets back intact. Killing expensive UK assests on G1 is the name of the game, and you cant take chances with sending a few boys to fight a mans battle.

On the other hand, no need to worry about transport.

Yes you can. If the attack on UK CV goes well, the AP can bring tank and Inf and land in same sea zone and its protected. UK most likely will go after German BB and subs.

And as Australia has only on 1 IPC, so you can’t place two new built units on it.

Well they place one then.

I don’t advise this till G2

Slam Japan?

Russia takes Manchuria on R1
UK takes Southeast Asia (3 INF, 1 FGT) an attack of 1 DD, 1 SS vs 1 DD, 1 SS in SZ 31

Would really put Japan in a bind….

(this is probably really crappy, but I’m just fooling around)

It could work if you got nice die roll, but it is risky. And I would simply scatter the fleet on UK1 as much as possible so that it could congolmerate latter to be a more potent force (you can build ships off of Australi and suddenly have a potent strike force right in the very place japan needs to be expanding). The only realy offensive thing I would use the starting India units on is to take back Eygpt if Germany takes it.

Not correct.Look it goes from Baltic to SZ 6, then thru Scotland and UK to SZ 8. expand the pic and see.

Amazing, but still, I don’t think it’s gonna work out, because British people won’t let them.
Just joking, but I watched the map again, Scotland(Ireland?) and UK are connected on the pic.

And why not attack Egypt, with no so much IPC in this version, the initial set up army is important, so my opinion is that eliminating on-board troops might be first choice.

game is not released yet and we need an f.a.q.

this sea zone connection issue is difficult to asses.

does the north sea (sz6) connect to the celtic sea (i believe sz8 but hard to see on map)?

i believe it does but is hard to see on the pictures that djensen has kindly posted of the setup.

it would make sense as that connection is larger than the connection of the following sz which all have connections

baltic-north sea
Atlantic-Mediterranean
mediterranean-black sea

however axis and allies is not always geographically correct, it is just a board game.
