Brando, why would you leave 1 inf in each territory? The only ones that matter are rostov and Baltic States. You will lose 6 ipcs in units for not much gain in epl/bess.
I leave 1 Inf in each territory, so the Axis/enemy can’t just walk in. Inf have a 33% chance of a hit. Prevents a country from just taking a territory w/1 Inf. Usually the attacking country has to attack w/2 ground units, just in case your Inf gets a hit. Also prevents the enemy from sending just one ground unit on a long walk across your territories(i.e. when Japan starts marching across the Soviet Far East). I don’t always do this. Like in China, I consolidate the Chinese Inf whenever possible. But in Russia, I always try to leave at least 1 Inf in each territory. One thing to point out, I don’t leave 1 Inf in each territory, unless the enemy has a chance to take that territory.
Because they only have a 33% chance to hit, I would not want to risk giving away nearly free infantry kills to Germany unless they are defending something valuable. Each infantry you put in his way is 1 less body defending something critical for a 33% chance to kill 1 thing.
It’s not just a 33% chance of killing something. It’s making the enemy commit more than 1 Inf/1 ground unit to take the territory How would this hurt a country like germany that will have mechs constantly reinforcing and the positioning does not screw him?. Maybe you didn’t read my entire post. Again, I don’t always leave 1 Inf behind in each territory(i.e. China and other territories) Japan can just send 1 inf and air, it really won’t hurt him if he wants to.. However, leaving 1 Inf behind on such things as islands, even 1 IPC islands. Your enemy would most likely have to commit at least 2 ground units to take the islandIt depends on the value of the island and the likelihood he/she would go for it.. Therefore, forcing your opponent to commit more resources to take territories and have less units to use elsewhere. I understand what you mean, but this is also a game of economics and efficiency. If your opponent does not need to go for it, or is not even affected by it, the one infantry won’t be an issue.Like I said in my explanation, Soviet Far East is a good example. There are 13 IPC’s from Soviet Far East to Vologda/Samara. If your strategy is to leave these unguarded for Japan to just take w/1 Inf, then go for it. In my opinion, over the 26 years I’ve played A&A, it’s the wrong stategySince russia can easily stop japan from taking it unless Japan commits more to the front, it really is not an issue. Also, with mongolia, it won’t be unguarded.

Can the Flying Tiger from China can land in Burma when Japan and the UK Pacific are not at war?
-
If Japan attacks the Britain, Anzac, French Indo China while France is still with its capital, does that affect USA nuetrality
-
American Neutrality and Japan
If Japan attacks the UK (pacific), ANZAC, or French Indo China, does that bring the US into the war
-
American Neutrality and Japan
If Japan attacks the UK (pacific), ANZAC, or French Indo China, does that bring the US into the war
UK or ANZAC or Dutch, yes.
FIC, no. Japan will only lose the 10 IPC NO for taking FIC, but America cannot declare war based only on FIC being taken. -
Can Russia and Japan declare war on each other without impacting the mongolian thing (as long as they do not attack neighboring spots)?
-
Can the Flying Tiger from China can land in Burma when Japan and the UK Pacific are not at war?
Yes. “UK Pacific” is not a political entity. Both China and UK are at war (China with Japan, UK with Germany and Italy), so Chinese units may enter Burma and Kwangtung. The restriction on UK units entering China while UK and Japan are not at war applies only one way and not the other.

Can Japan take French Indo Chine without losing the USA 10+ NO if France declares war first? The rules says “attack” is the prerequisite to losing the NO. Seems a little silly that France could declare war on Japan, Japan invades and the US goes into a tizzy about it.
Answer? :lol:
-
French declaration is irrelevant.
The NO says if Japan hasn’t attacked FIC, and says nothing about French/Japanese relations.
If Japan attacks FIC under any circumstances, she will not be getting this NO the rest of the game, period. -

1.) Japan attacks UK and ANZAC. Does that bring US into war. Please show where in the rule book it states this.
2.) Strategic Bombing. Do strategic bombers and tactical bombers get a shot during air to air combat.Official Answers Please.

Yes. Page 37, Europe 2nd edition manual, under USA. If Japan makes an UNPROVOKED attack on UK or ANZAC, the USA can then declare war on any and all Axis powers. If UK or ANZ attacks or Declares on Japan before Japan attacks, then the USA would have to wait until the end of round 3 to declare, unless one of the three Axis powers attacked the USA or declared on USA directly.
-
Yes. Strategic and tactical bombers get to attack on a 1 in air to air combat. Page 17 of Europe 2nd edition manual. Bullet point one says attacking bombers and fighters are a part of the battle. Bullet point three says all air units have attack and defense values of 1. Krieghund has confirmed that bombers means tactical and strategic, both.
Of course, strategic and tactical bombers of the defender cannot be used, only fighters can defend. But attacking tactical and strategic bombers all get to fire on a 1.

Also: the US is not immediately brought into the war by the unprovoked attack on uk/Anzac. It remains neutral until the US turn when the US can finally declare war.

Yes, that’s why I said “the USA can then declare war”. Declarations of war only happen at the beginning of your own turn.
War is only immediate when an enemy declares war on you directly. When conditions are met, you always wait until your turn to declare war, like Russia on Euro-Axis or Japan making an attack on UK or ANZ.
You say “finally”, but USA goes immediately after Japan. We’re not playing the original anymore…
-

Well, despite the fact that this may be the .2 FAQ, there is still holdovers and people who read this but play OOB .1 so I just wanted to reiterate that attacking uk/Anzac doesn’t immediately bring them into the war- it merely opens the door on their turn.
-
So airbases and minor ics on china territories… the minor ics go poof right?
-
Correct. Also worth noting, China is not allowed to repair damaged air and naval bases.

#1. Germany has a submarine, a destroyer, and an empty air craft carrier which is being attacked by 3 british fighters. The attacking British fighters hit once and the defending German surface warships hit once…… can Germany use the sub as a casualty, considering that they have a destroyer present?
#2. Germany has entered a sea zone containing one enemy submarine with one loaded transport for the purpose of conducting an amphibious assault. Can Germany’s transport ignore the Submarine and land their troops safely into an adjacent hostile territory?
#3. Japan conducts an amphibious assault on Hawaii with 10 aircraft carriers, 20 carrier based planes, and 10 fully loaded transports, while Hawaii has 1 American Fighter. Japan needs the carriers to legally land all 20 air units which have been assigned to the land battle, so America scrambles it’s single Fighter from their operational air base and sinks up to $500 in Japanese units while landing their fighter safely on land. Is this true or false?
