Zhuk where did you go???  are you going to finish your game with Cow?

Hi Bold  :-D

I conceded that game, officially.  As far as finishing it, I’d be down to play it out now if Cow wants too.

I took a break from A&A for about a year so I wasn’t able to compete in the league much during 2013.

No, you did not control it at the beginning of your turn.

Ike is correct

I know if you load a transport in the combat phase and then assault somewhere that you’re supposed to drop both units off and not hold one in the transport. But, do you if you load during the combat phase are you obligated to drop them off in this phase. That is aside from a situation where a seazone is successfully defended?

Evening axisandalliesplayer.
Yes, if you load in the Combat Round those units have to amphibiously assault( as long as the SZ is cleared). They cannot load and stay on board and unload in Non Combat.
If they cannot offload, because the sea battle was unsuccessful, they remain onboard.

Here’s a silly one our group is divided on, on the income tracker… which UK roundel should be used for UK Europe, and which one for UK Pacific?

Concentric circles for UK Europe
Union Jack is for UK Pacific

OK, Thanks.

Sure YG and I know I owe you an opinion on something else.  Haven’t forgotten.  Yet.  :-D

Russia is not at war with germany and italy while being at war with Japan.

-Can russian air units land on malaya after attacking naval? Even if Japan is not at war with the UK?

@Cow:

Yes they can.  There is no requirement that UK be at war with Japan.

UK is at war with Germany and Italy.  Germany and Italy are allied with Japan.  USSR is at war with Japan.  Therefore USSR and UK are allies because they are both at war with the Axis alliance

Cool. I brought air over to the pacific with Russia that is why and taking out a transport for free to land on malaya with a russian fighter seems legit.

On Japan turn one I build minor IC in Kiangsu, on Japan turn @ can I upgrade to Major IC, since it has a value of 3 or greater ?

In 2nd edition, you can never have a major complex in Kiangsu, as it is not considered an original Japanese territory.  It has a Chinese symbol on it, as does Manchuria.  The only additional major complex Japan may ever have, in 2nd edition, is in Korea.

Id say im pretty new to axis and allies global second edition. I usually end up playing britain and find myself overstretching / spreading myself to thin. Wich provinces and initial strategies are recomended if i want to succed as britain. Like… Wich provinces can i leave and wich ones should i aim for/keep? Help a brother out! :)

Welcome to A&A.org, Sabregolf

The FAQ is meant for rules questions only, not strategy

You can peruse the G40 boards and start your own discussion thread there - I’m sure you’ll get replies and ideas.

There are many different strategies for Britain, and a LOT depends on when the Axis DOW.  A common, effective strategy, is to focus on Italy early and keep them down.  Obviously you want to get the 5 IPC NO, which requires you hold all original territories, but if the Axis really want to deny this to you, there may not be much you can do about it for quite awhile, if ever.

There’s a lot more to talk about, but like I said, I’m afraid this is the wrong thread for that - thanks!  If you have any rules questions, though, this is the right place!
