AAZ 1942 (second edition): rules question: damaged factories and Z-control

@jamesl1391 Hello James,

Fortunately @Krieghund already answered all of your questions. Just some remarks from me.

If you attack a zombie in you own territory, do they bite on an A or a D? ie are you defending your territory, or attacking the zombies?

The way I see this: The Zs are just conducting their battle phase, their throwing of the dice. And then the ‘D’ results can not be assigned. Just see this as a regular battle.
(@Krieghund , if I am wrong please correct me)

Can you hold a territory just with a plane in it, if it has a zombie - or do you also need a land unit there as well?

Very good question. Good you asked this so this could be clarified. Please mind that Zs can hit your - expensive! - plane in their next ‘Zs Attack’ phase.

If a single plane attacks a single zombie within a group of zombies (in a friendly territory held with other units), do all the zombies bite or just the one that the plane is attacking?

As far as I know in standard Axis and Allies games you never attack a specific unit…

What does Germany build or is bringing in to Medd? What is UK doing with the 2nd fighter , et al? UK placing any tanks in India? what do they place?

ON uk 1, establish your fleet if possible ( CV, 2 DD builds-placed with AP w 2 fighters at upper left sea zone) if not you can bring the fleet past the canal ( unless he took Levant States) That alone stops he BB and AP from invasion-but you need 2 fighters on CV.

Take out the Japanese AP that’s in range of India with the CA and or the Fighter, so you can bring 2 men to Egypt, but build 2 tanks in India to eventually replace them, bring up the infantry on the right side of Afrika. ( not left).

You could build in South Afrika ( not my choice, but its usually out of range of German Bombers…

Yes, you can.

Seems this situation cannot occur with Technology-6: ZMCR.

Again: If anyone runs into situations in which this occurs: please post here. Thanks in advance.

If you read this thread you’d fine that the short version of my verdict on the game was:

So you’re in good company here. Most of the haters are over on the G40 board.

@taamvan
Yes that could really tilt the balance of the game!

The major problems that we faced were that taking out france g1 got signifycantly harder and it got a lot harder to take moscow due to zombies being a big help for the defender.

I’m beginning to think Nazis and Zombies go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly.

@djensen:

I’m not censoring anything. If you have subjective complaints, put them all here in this thread. If you have constructive criticism, start a new thread.

Again, when the newbies arrive to learn more about AAZ and other A&A games, I want them to see a welcoming community. Seeing a bunch of posts of people hating on zombies, might turn people away.

You got some strong points here, and I want to change my stand.
