Armor absorbing hits from artillery prior to the landing

@Running-Away Per page 22 of the rulebook, units of another power may be transported only if that power is friendly. Per page 12, the US is not considered to be either friend or enemy to any other power while it remains neutral. Therefore, the US cannot transport units belonging to any other power while it is neutral.

@DoManMacgee

Agreed.

@The_Good_Captain

Thank you so much!

Has anyone found proper colors to use for custom units for 1914 for each power ? I’ve had no luck finding anything so I try to color match to the best of my abilities but if there was RGB or CMYK info out there it would be awesome for modders.

@Slip-Capone If you need a player I’ve been dying to get back into axis and allies. If you have triple a I’m available.

When playing as the US, I usually have 2-3 transports waiting in New York Harbor for over-seas duty. I mix in 1 tank with the rest of the shipment because I find my US army gets involved in smaller battles of about 10 units (Africa, Mid-East, Eastern France etc). As I can only ship a limited number of units per turn, the tanks absorb hits every round and survives to be bolstered by the freshly arriving 2+ infantry.
For everyone else I think tanks are money poorly spent.

Why is the only historical stuff we get the things that are useless, like infantry in every territory or destroyers not being present, while they leave out things like battlecruisers, gas attacks, and the Konigsberg?

Cost: 8
Attack 2, defense 1, move 1

Special rules:
Bombardment. Artillery not in a contested territory may fire into an adjacent contested territory during combat. Roll 3 dice for each heavy artillery unit you are firing. Each heavy artillery may only fire into one combat per turn.
If firing into a territory where you have air superiority, your roll to hit is ‘3’.
