@The_Good_Captain
Thanks Cap

I found this on a random site. I’ll post if I get my hands on it again.

Axis and Allies Classic, 2nd Edition
“Not-so-Obvious” Rules List:

“Stack” restriction – Players are restricted in the number of “stacks” they can create by the number of pieces that came in the original game. “Chipping” remains unrestricted. (Page 7, middle column)

Column Rolling – In ALL combats, dice are rolled by individual column from lowest to highest. Casualties are applied BEFORE rolling the next column’s attack. (Page 18)

During the COMBAT MOVEMENT PHASE, aircraft flying over a territory containing an enemy AA gun are fired upon as they fly over, even if they don’t end movement in that territory. (Page 13, right column)

*Newly purchased naval units are not allowed to be placed in sea zones containing enemy naval units. (Page 21, middle column)

If their original carrier was sunk, defending fighters may ONLY land on an island/island group or carrier in the same sea zone. Failure to do so results in elimination. (Page 15, left column)

Armor MAY “blitz” through a territory containing an AA gun or Industrial Complex. (Rules Clarification, last page, middle column)
a. AA guns still shoot at aircraft flying over their territory even after having been “blitzed” in this fashon. (Page 5, left column “combat is considered simultaneous”)

The Suez Canal can only be utilized if both Anglo-Egypt Sudan and Syria/Iraq are controlled by your side at the BEGINNING of your turn. (axisandallies.org, “the intent was always for the Suez to mimic the Panama Canal rules” -krieghund)

*optional rule on page 31 removes this restriction

Download the rules to 1941… that’s a modern version that should work with Classic (add-in any 1942SE rules you want).

thank you Krieghund,

once again you have answered my rules questions within a day of posting them.  you are awesome!

Axis and Allies 1942 Second Edition is what you want.

GLobal is too big for beginners, and 1941 is lame.

@dezrtfish:

Russia
Buy 8Inf

Attack Baltic Fleet with Sub transport and fighters

Move all from Russia to Karelia, all but 1Inf from Caucasus to Karelia

Leave 1 Inf In soviet far east stack Novo with all inf that can reach + 1 Armor.

Place all in Karelia

Why only attack the navy?

@dezrtfish:

Germany
Build Infantry

Send any remaining ships plus all air that can reach to kill brit fleet.

If possible use bomber to kill Canadian transport.

Take Egypt and if feeling ballzy take Transjordan with 2Inf and BB in Seurope.

Move everything in Europe east, leave the 2 infantry in france.

Place 2 Inf in SEurope, the rest in Ger.

Fig from France can reach Can tran, so why waste a bomber? Just go fo Egypt with 4 inf and 1 tank

@dezrtfish:

UK

Option 1
Purchase 1 AC and 1 Transport

Option 2
Purchase 1 IC and save

Fly fighters to Karelia

Bomb Germany

If option 1 place AC and wait for US fighters
If Option 2 Place IC in India (reinforce from Australia earlier)

Option 1 is better than option 2. IC in India is just stretching the game… Get Africa back. If you have to sacrifice your bomber so be it! Optional imo is the kwangbang, but Dert didn’t mention Russia attacking manch. Get a fig and save rest is my preferred buy to get a better naval buy on UK2.

@dezrtfish:

Japan

Buy 2 Transports and 3 Infantry

If UK built AC take just enough to kill the ships in Hawaii

If no Brit AC hit Pearl heavy
Start pulling infantry from Islands to Kwang and Manchuria

Take Soviet far east Lightly in hope of drawing russains out.

If UK builds IC in India push heavy into French indo China

Kill US fighter in China

Place all in Japan, because there’s no where else to put it.

Just go heavy after the US fleet in Hawaii. Get inf from islands and take China heavy! If Russia and UK took Manch and Kwangtung its kinda over already…

@dezrtfish:

USA

Buy transports and infantry

If UK built AC move troops from East US to UK, move 2 fighters EUS, WUS to AC

If UK Built IC invade Africa and counter pearl if Japan took it light.  3ftrs, 1 bmb 1bb etc.

Start moving troops to East Canada to Set up Shuck, if you don’t know the shuck do a search.

Move all remaining Pacific ship toward Panama, use transport to screen BB if your worried.

Place builds in east US

I am more of a favorite of going all inf build and maybe a fig on US1. Why? It easier for your shuck shuck… You walk inf to Can and only need 4 trans!

2nd ed without a bid is not really fair… We all agreed on that I think…

Delete the dplayx.dll file in your Hasbro Interactive directory and then reboot your computer…your computer will automatically use the correct version that is in your windows directory.
