3 quick questions: What Edition, Noncombat blitzing, warship IDs…

@bilbobaggins321:

Don’t worry, the rules are not that hard. I am 12 myself! Let me answer your questions.

In a combat move, you can move as many troops as you like from as many territories as you want. For example, if America took over the Kwangtung, the Japanese could make a joint attack from French Indochina and Manchuria. If there was two infantry and a tank in Manchuria, you could use all of them to mount the attack. If you do not have any troops in a territory, it is still under your control until an enemy takes it. You can mount completely seperate battles in the space of one turn as long as they don’t happen at the same time.

Now for the dice question. When you place your troops on the battle strip in the correct places, you can see a units attack number. You roll once for each unit, even if they have the same attacking or defending number. If you roll that unit’s number or less, you score a hit.

Lastly, I must give some fighter/bomber clarification. If you have planes on an island, and you see a ship or fleet coming towards, most likely for an amphibious assault, then you can bomb the ships IF the ships have finished their turn, and it is now yours. Remember, ships can move two sea zones per turn. I do not fully understand your second question. It does not matter whether enemy ships are in a sea zone friendly to you or not. You can send fighters and bombers over the ships both ways, as long as you have enough moves for the plane to get back to friendly land or sea territories. However, I would advise not to send bombers to attack ships that are in a sea zone right next to where the enemy has amassed AA guns.

That’s all. Don’t worry about asking simple questions. I did the same thing when I was first introduced to A&A.

Thanks. I skimmed through the book one more time before asking, but couldn’t find anything.

@Imperious:

40-50 not more

I don’t think I paid much less for it.  :-D

@Verboten86:

My friend and I recently picked up this game, and I was wondering, what expansions can I use with this version?  I know the rules have been changed, so I’m wondering if there is any way of incorporating older versions or if there are any official expansions for this one.

Also, is there any way I can makeshift modify the 1942 edition back to the revised edition?  I’ve printed off a list of the rules changes, but I’m wondering if there are any IPC values on territories or other map changes, or anything else, that I would have to change as well.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this!

Hey there. I’m not aware of any expansions/scenarios for 1942, it might be too soon for them since the game got released a few months ago and all the attention seems to be focused on AA50.

1942 is essentially a ‘revised’ Revised. The map changes are on North America (W. Can doesn’t connect with C. US, SZ55 and SZ63 anymore) plus the addition of Formosa and Iceland. The rest remains the same as Revised. If you find a copy of Revised somewhere I’d advise you to get it since the map is slightly bigger and it cames with a lot of extras (battleboard instead of battlestrip, printed money, etc.) and you can use the Revised board to play 1942 (that’s what I do) as long as you remember the changes to NA. If you can’t find it there are a few threads on this section with improved maps that you can print.

See ya

@chompers:

Hey all, quick question.  Let’s say Japan attacks the US with a battleship, carrier, and 2 fighters.  The US defends with a carrier and two fighters.  Turn one the US takes 2 hits and chooses to remove the carrier and a fighter.  If Japan calls off the attack at that point to avoid letting the fighter roll another dice, does the remaining US fighter simply die off as it has no carrier to land on?  Or does it have the option of re-basing somewhere?

The remaining US fighter can move 1 space to land at a friendly territory/island/carrier. It it can’t land then it is destroyed.

Yes.  However, in this particular example there would be no need for them to do so, since with the bomber unable to hit them any longer the battle would be effectively over.

If the sub hits the carrier, it will not fire back.  If the sub misses, the carrier will fire back.

spring 1942 released August 2009 and thank you for your response and links. they are very helpful. So using the Atlantic sub on UK fleet rather than the undefended transport with  Norway fighter and bomber for the UK home fleet. I see it now. Guess i was foamin at the mouth on the unprotected trans.  thank you
