11. Now it is the Allied turn. The same procedure is followed as before. The defending CAP fighter shoots at the incoming planes, and they get to fire back.

12. The Japanese CAP fighter misses, but the Allied planes shoot it down.

13. Both planes select the same carrier group to go after. The ships miss their AA fire, so the planes are free to attack.

14. Both planes score a hit on the carrier and it is sunk. Planes must now return home.

15. Planes on both sides must land on their carriers. The US plane lost its carrier, and so must ditch at sea (destroyed). Both sides may reshuffle the composition of their groups. At this point, the Japanese player decides if they wish to retreat, and they choose to continue the battle instead. The Allies, however, choose to retreat, The Allied ships return to port and the Japanese fleet continues on its original mission.

I don’t plan to buy the expansion (and I’m an expansion whore, so this is a big deal).

I like the new ships, but I really dislike the cinematic combat (and I really liked the interaction between dice and tactic cards in the original system).

I do like the new ships and green dice, but the leaders - while I don’t dislike them - only serve to dilute our chances of recruiting each of the classic characters which I like a lot more.

This will sound silly, but I thought of a cool idea for a tournament/triathlon type event between two friends who are into war gaming.  Basically you’d play the best of the three following games:

Idea 1:  Axis and Allies 1914, Axis and Allies (any edition), and Twilight Struggle

Idea 2: Axis and Allies (any edition), Twilight Struggle, and Fortress America

Thoughts?

I’ve played most of Total War games and was thoroughly disappointed with Napoleon Total War, I hope this one is nothing like it. I’m pleased that they have chosen to make another game about Rome. But Medieval TW 2 is my favourite of the franchise. I made wonders with cavalry in this game. By the way, that was a poor deployment of your troops, full of redundant actions.

Yes just Europe.

Its about $15 bucks BTW at Battlefront.com

@Noll:

Do you know if there’s any good ww2 tactical game with turns instead of real time?

I tried heart of iron 3 (and that game doesn’t have turns either) but I find it too deep in rules to like it. (I feel like I need to read a 200pages manual to be able to play it)

I wouldn’t give up on the entire series, try Hearts of Iron 2 or Hearts of Iron Darkest Hour edition, both are much simpler and intuitive. You can download it from STEAM but make sure you get the game that says Darkest Hour: A Hearts of Iron game and not Darkest Hour Europe 44-45, thats and FPS not an RTS.

Darkest Hour is alot of fun with a much better map then the other HOI games. Also its the only one with a 1914 start date, which is alot of fun.

No one has heard of AGEod’s American Civil War computer game?

My son just purchased it for $10 with Christmas Money.  He thought it would be an action game but it is not.  It is very detailed though and I’m still trying to figure out how to play it.

Buy It!!!

Civil War is second to none! :)
It comes with the best combat system ever made IMO.
