For any strange reason the link provided in the first thread of the stickied topic

namely:

still links to the FAQ document (PDF) of November 24, 2014, that AFAIK is the latest one that ever had been published.

However as this link probably will become invalid anytime, it is still a good idea to publish this sheet here.

I haven’t played 1942.2, but for me the famed viability of a KJF strategy is a huge draw over AA50 (which I have played).

In the Gamemaster edition, Revised*, AA50**, and 42 1st edition all require a KGF strategy for optimal Allied play.  This makes 1942 2nd edition a very new experience to entice me with.

I have not played G40 2nd edition yet (only 1st edition).  I understand that is also a KJF game, so for those of you who play that, perhaps KJF is less of a lure.  I have also not played A&A: 1941, and have no idea as to the correct strategies there.

The minor victory scenario (8 cities) entailed a balanced Allied strategy for a strong defense in India.  But I never tried a full blown KJF.  I haven’t looked at that game for as long time, but I would tend to think Germany wins the game if the Allies go KJF in a minor victory setting.

** I have only played the 1941 scenario (with NOs), and cannot attest to the other variations.

The point of the Russians in A&A is to get the German player to say “any more victories like this and we’ll lose the war!”

We got 16 players.

Matchups are set.  Bidding can begin.  And as soon as that is done games can start.  :-D

Thanks to everyone who signed up.

Good luck and have fun!

If you ever decide to try anything like this let me know what you think ….

Afraid not Commando Brado. If the Carrier retreats, the Air units splash into the sea.
Unlike ground or naval units, When an Air units retreats from combat it remains above the territory or in the SZ until non combat. It is now it must leave the hostile SZ or territory. If it has no movement left and no Carrier upon which to land, it crashes.

Yes, it applies in 1914 as well.  Except, of course, for the bit about combat movement restrictions, as there is only one movement phase in that game.

Yeah that was when you could put a IC in your favorite Pafic Island and put in ungodly units in it!
The innocent years….lol
