A&A QUESTION?

@jgarcianegron:

See “how the carriers fight” in the manual. Carefully study that.

@rulebook:

Aircraft Carriers
Although they don’t have an attack value and aren’t
represented on the battle strip, carriers can still participate
in an attack and can take hits, as long at least 1 unit with
an attack value attacks along with them. Any fighters or
tactical bombers on an aircraft carrier launch before the
carrier moves and move independently of the carrier.
These air units can make a combat move from the carrier’s
initial sea zone, or they can remain in that sea zone until
the Noncombat Move phase.

I just wonder, why Germany doesn’t have enought control markers in my box to cover Soviet Union with Western Europe?
Is it okay?

I tried to delete this topic but I guess I can’t.  Mods please delete this topic.  I’m going to ask my questions in the G40 boards, as it seems like that is probably the better place to ask my questions as they pertain to specifically G40

Welcome to the A+A boards, BigKahuna!

Hoping that you have your answers already, but here goes:

1.  Strategic bombing raids (SBRs) ONLY attack the industrial complex of a territory, not the units therein.  If your game is playing without fighter escorts (optional rule decided by players ahead of time), the defender gets to roll his AA gun for each bomber SBRing the territory (killing a bomber for each 1 rolled), and that’s it.  If you’re playing with fighter escorts, check the errata to see how many shots the defender gets for the fighter(s) stationed ONLY in the industrial complex’s territory.  Surviving fighters don’t get to bomb the factory.  Other than that, the other units in the territory don’t get to participate.

2.  Usually that’s the case with this game, getting enough people to actually play a 5 person game.  Team up, of course!  Usually UK and Russia go well with the same person, sometimes I see UK and the USA by the same person.  If only two people, obviously Axis and Allied teams.

3.  Shoot, just use a pad and paper, but probably 30 of each should be more than enough.  IPCs usually in the range of 50-60 per side at their highest.

I have cut-and-pasted the great answers in that other thread and will work on arranging them in some coherent fashion in a Word doc.

I could probably guess…but someone define exactly the “ignore Japan” strategy and the “Polar Express” counter-strategy and which game(s) they apply to, please.

Thanks.

OK, only 2 version have the entire world on the map:  “Classic”, which is usually second edition, but also includes the rather rare 1st edition, and the Hasbor CD-Rom game (also called 3rd edition) and “Revised”

If you game includes the units Artillery and Destroyers, you have Revised.
If your game says “Milton Bradley” on the box, you have Classic
If the starting income is:  R 24;  G  32;  UK 30;  J 25; USA 36 you ahve Classic
If startign income is R 24; G40; UK 30; J30; USA 42 you have Revised

Damn Hasbro!  That’s exactly why I’m confused.  Like you, I’ve spent a lot of time playing AI rather than RI…  :-D
That’s why I’m happy to see my laptop coming in the next week or so; no more playing the predictable AI.

hah, got the hint. swweeeeett
