Preview 5: The Rulebook!

So is everybodys pages loading correctly under the pdf?i usually dont  have issues but pages 3-12 dont  load…erased and redownloaded same issue…any other way to view?

It works for me, but it loads a little slow.

And I appreciated the write up last night!

I feel like it is a pretty ‘light’ rulebook for such a dramatically different game than the WWII versions.  Couple things are still vague as people have already mentioned.  Russian Revolution (does it count for taking an Allied capital?), American movement before the war, if a BB can repair in friendly naval base…

True enough - forgot about the situation you mentioned in your political situation writeup.

I would think that Battleships could be repaired by allied powers, but if not, then ok- I don’t see it happening very much except with the USA-maybe- Everyone else that has or builds battleships have a NB close by.

Hmm, if triggering the revolution doesn’t count for taking a capital, then it will be harder on the Axis- but then again, without the eastern front it will make the west and south easier to manage.

Thanks again for posting this djensen!

By the way, I shared this information to GTO. ^_^

Spoilsport.  :-(

Sorry, but the RR rules are gobbledygook. Force fields!

As I read it, you can repair in any naval base you control, including those captured from the enemy.

Read the mines rules again, and still not sure about them. The wording could be interpreted to mean that if you control an original enemy NB, you can roll for mines against the original owner; but I really don’t know if this is the intention.

There is nothing in there about Constantinople/SZ 20. I think we have to assume its a single SZ and that the land tt has no effect on who can sail into/through it.

Make him a “rules deputy- Europe division”

Awesome, good call!

I play A&A all the time on there.

By the way:

AA50 will be a new option to play on there at the end of the month, after they update their entire site. ;)

David, do you mind attaching a hi-res version of the image of the map on page 10 of the rulebook? I would greatly appreciate it.

one of his earlier previews has a high resolution map already…

@BJCard:

Yes, but it’s a hi-res photo of the map on the table, this is the raw image they used to print the map.

Oh, you want a pic of the map on the table with all the units on it.  gotcha.

We already have a hi res pic of the map and the setup… why would you need anything else?

I think he’s talking about the map picture on rulebook page 10. The one without any units on it or map creases or misaligned territory names.

That’s a Bingo!
