@Mn-guy As your question is neither about the website nor the forum itself I have moved your topic to the A&A Classic Forum Category,

Is Eire and United Kingdom adjacent by land …

No.

… or you need a transport between the two?

Yes.

@Mn-guy Yes, other units can participate in the sea battle. Other than being a prelude to an amphibious assault, it is just like any other sea battle. The rules on page 15 mention only battleships and transports because they are the only units that can participate in the land battle.

As a side note, attacking air units must, of course, be assigned to either the sea or the land battle, as indicated by where they end their combat movement. They cannot participate in both, even if the amphibious assault is against an island.

@Krieghund Thanks! (For completeness, I should have been more clear in that Germany controlled Persia at the beginning of its turn in this example. i.e. there was/is a legal landing zone for the fighter)

@coachdcj Player 2 is correct. From the Official Rules Clarifications document (page 4):

You can never give an ally anything: units, territories or I.P.C.'s.

@Darth-Vahl

Hi Darth,

Yea - those Expansions brought tons of fun & challenge.

Since then, we have developed the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion - inspired by and based on those Expansions.

You can find the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion on this forum - and as you read your way through these Expansion rules you’ll recall all the good memories from the early 90’s - and much more.

@thecabal

The practical application in an actual game is the following:

This can adversely affect naval battles with multiple unit types on both sides and land battles in which the defender has a bomber(s) or a defense with multinational forces present.

It can cause the defender to misallocate his hits not knowing if the attacker is going to roll hot, cold or par.

@AdmirlScuttlebut said in Found an MB copy of Axis and Allies ...:

Don’t know if you would know the answer to my question but maybe if you don’t you can direct me some one who might. I also just received a copy of the original game but not for $3. It came with a cardboard sheet of custom roundels that look pretty old. I have never seen these before they include: 4 yellow with the image of a zero, 6 yellow pill box, 12 jap control markers with numbers in the center, 12 USA control markers with numbers in the middle of them, 10 marines with eagle globe and anchor logo, 6 commando with skull and cross bones logo, 6 German SS with patch logo, 4 fighters unavailable this turn for duty with red circled a/c logo, 6 paratroopers with patch logo, 6 air transport with a/c art work, 6 troop carriers with truck art work, finally 2 with artillery art work. Any ideas as to who made them?

That sounds like the gamers paradise expansion. I have all three expansion sets they put out.

that is a bug in the CD rom version that gets fixed in an update.

you also cannot have airplanes end their turn over the ocean as the computer sometimes does.
