First Move -- Phase 1: Purchase Units

I keep wracking my brain in terms of how to balance the need for both air and sea power when you’re the allies. Especially in regards to needing to do amphibious assaults but keep in mind unguarded transports.

If playing the allies, are there for sure Do’s and Don’ts?

@RYNO87 Sea units can never attack territories containing whatever defending units.

In other editions battleships and cruisers under special conditions can support amphibious assaults by shore bombardment, but not in this game.

Per page 9 of the Rulebook, hostile sea zones are those which contain enemy surface warships. The condition of adjacent territories has no bearing on it.

@TRONOR:

If I understand correctly, “all units must attack & defend together”

Not really. During Combat Move Phase …

@rulebook:

All combat movement is considered to take place at the
same time. …

@TRONOR:

Suppose that i will attack from my zone to the adjacent zone that contains no enemy units but enemy controlled.
But next zone has enemy units.

1. At this situation my infantry unit attacks using 1 movement point to the empty enemy zone,occupied it and stops there.
2. My tank unit using 2 movement points, uses blitzing ability crossing the empty enemy zone,separated from infantry,
  and finally attacks next zone that contains enemy units.
3- Remaining unit: 1 fighter unit; I don’t want to attack my fighter unit to the same enemy that my tank have attacked yet.
  For example i want to attack another zone, another enemy unit.

You may move your units separately into different hostile territories.
So your tank may blitz as intended and your fighter can attack elsewhere.
But all those moves are “considered to take place at the same time”.

HTH :-)

:-D Ok that makes sense. Thank you!!

For which power? I tend to do an air buy for the British in India (I know most prefer an air buy an place it in England) to keep the Japanese at bay, also abandon Australia and move the infantry over to India. America  an “shuck” fighters over to Australia if the Japanese don’t take it on turn one and the British place an inf there round 2. Russia, if you’re playing with the revised set up, can usually afford to launch a massive attack on West Russia and do a round of combat or two against Ukraine before falling back on the Caucus. Pull the far east units back slowly towards Moscow, if you see the opportunity you can use these units to launch a counter attack against the Japanese if they ever occupy China.

As for the Axis…kill everything in your path  :-P…but I do consider an attak against British Eygpt to be vital to the Axis on R1.

That actually sounds like it might work.

At what turn did you do the landing?

Bah just plop some Aircraft carriers with fighters on them and use them as an impregnable fighter base that can only be attacked by other air units.
