Thanks for the answers. Our first play was a lot of fun. And was a totall victory for me :evil:….

@Ladr6:

@Dylan:

AKA it’s next to useless.

Yeah, I finally noticed and was like… “Thats weak!” Eh, oh well… My jet fighters are good to go tho.

It would be good in later games. Free Industry repairs!

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.

Which one should I buy and what is the difference in the 2? Is Iron Blitz a release to fix bugs and be a better game, or is it just and expansion to include ‘marines’ & ‘destroyers’ etc.?

Appearantly you can’t buy Iron Blitz anymore, but you can still get the original A&A just about anywhere fairly cheap.

your dream has come true….just like the rest of us!

It depends who you are playing with. With all of the on-line clubs, it is allowable to unload into multiple territories in non-combat.

For the combat move, it varies between the clubs. The play by e-mail clubs (which mimic face to face rules the best) do not allow a transport to unload in multiple territories.

The CD clubs do let you unload into multiple territories during combat. However, they have allowed this because this is their way of dealing with one of the many bugs in the CD.

When I play with new players, this is one of the rules I get clarified before we start as it can be a pain to sort out later. As long as both parties are playing by the same interpretation, you should be okay.

You know what? I found the 3rd edition rules for the A&A CD-ROM game. It answers my question. It seems only defending subs can submerge. And, if they surface to find enemy naval units, they must fight on your next turn…for at least one round of firing. So, I finally understand. Submerging is meant for defending against air attacks! Thanks anyway!
