My Axis & Allies collection

I wanted to finish the Round, Cobra lost when the White C landed the trooper on that 1VP Island Hex, thus giving the Joes 10 + Victory Points at the end of the round.

The lost of the Jet was worth it, as the one White trooper could not be lost.

Since White was last in the round, it became moot to actually finish the round.

Except for an open 2 VP hex, Cobra had 3 VP hexes and Joe had Hexes worth 10 VP. Except for Main Red Base, the other Cobra Bases are under siege.

Left on Board: 2 Joe and 1 Cobra C, one air unit each side, 66 Joe Troopers & only 13 Cobra troopers.

Next still on Scenario #2, the main units will be Snow Cat and W.O.L.F. Units, with a minimum of a C and an Air Unit(thus combine arms). Thanks, Pellulo

@Krieghund said in Some cases of transport-related rules across "Axis & Allies" games from Classic to the most recent ones:

@Cernel Cases 1 and 2 are legal in versions up to and including Revised OOB, but not legal in Revised LHTR or later. Cases 3 through 5 are not legal in any version.

Even though you stated
@Krieghund said in Some cases of transport-related rules across "Axis & Allies" games from Classic to the most recent ones:

@Cernel Forget what I said here to the contrary, and go with the prior rulings. I have edited my above answers in accordance with this.

I’ve seen that you have not yet edited this post.

Does this mean that, in this case, you stand by this latest clarification of yours (which should be taken as prevalent)?

No. I did not edit the post because I amended this answer in a later post in this thread (which was made before I edited the posts).

So, summarizing, it seems that, to my first two cases at the first post of this topic, specifically
@Cernel said in Some cases of transport-related rules across "Axis & Allies" games from Classic to the most recent ones:

A transport has one or two units already on board at the start of the turn, does not load any more units, moves into a hostile sea zone during the same turn and does not offload any units during Combat Move, partakes to a successful sea battle without being removed and offloads any number of its cargo into an own or allied territory during the subsequent Non-Combat Move phase.

A transport has one or two units already on board at the start of the turn, starts the turn inside a hostile sea zone and neither moves nor loads any units nor offloads any units during Combat Move, partakes to a successful sea battle without being removed and offloads any number of its cargo into an own or allied territory during the subsequent Non-Combat Move phase.

we have two possible official answers (both from you).

In this topic, you said that
@Krieghund said in Some cases of transport-related rules across "Axis & Allies" games from Classic to the most recent ones:

@Cernel Cases 1 and 2 are legal in versions up to and including Revised OOB, but not legal in Revised LHTR or later.

whereas, based on what you said previously and I quoted at this post, I understand that your answer based on those answers would be something like

Cases 1 and 2 are legal in Revised OOB and the original Europe and Pacific, but not legal in the Classic games nor in Revised LHTR or later.

Which one is the correct ruling?

The second one, as I stated in my amended post above.

If you will, please don’t just tell me to go with whatever you said previously: if you are going with the previous rulings, I’d like to know on what they are based.

Would it be because of the concept that cargo inside a transport which took part in a battle is considered having taken part in the battle too (and therefore cannot do anything during the subsequent Noncombat Move phase) coupled with the fact that every Classic rules-book is missing a special rule like the one in Revised OOB stating that

Transports that have been in combat may either load or offload (not both) during this phase, but not if they have retreated from combat this turn.

If this is not the reason, what is the reason?

Yes, that’s the reason.

I understand that, as an official answerer, you can just limit yourself to say what’s what, but I would like to know the reasons behind the rulings at least for those which (apparently) changed over time or got answers at variance with each other if that is not too much to ask.

I think this was all covered adequately in the “Offloading in Both Combat and Noncombat Movement” thread that you linked. There’s no reason to go over it again.

As a side note, I apologize for not consulting that thread before I answered here initially. I was going from memory, which is always a bad thing to do when dealing with Revised OOB, for reasons discussed in that thread.

Trying to make a summary of a number of my topics, I believe that we can divide the matter into three main cases, namely “1”, “2” and “3”, the latter being actually “1+2”.

A transport with 2 units already on board at start turn offloads 1 unit during Combat Move (does not take part in any battles) and offloads the other unit during Noncombat Move (both units being offloaded into the same territory, which was enemy owned during Combat Move and is friendly during Noncombat Move).

A transport with 1 or 2 units already on board at start turn takes part in a battle (and does not offload any units during Conduct Combat) and offloads all or part of the units during Noncombat move (into a friendly territory).

A transport with 2 units already on board at start tun takes part in a battle and offloads 1 unit during Conduct Combat and offloads the other unit during Noncombat Move (both units being offloaded into the same territory, which was enemy owned during Conduct Combat and is friendly during Noncombat Move).

First of all, have we conclusively clarified that (for every rules-set) whether or not a transport moved before amphibiously offloading or taking part in a battle on the same turn is absolutely irrelevant for whatever it can do during Noncombat Move? Meaning that it would be completely pointless to split the aforementioned three cases into two cases each (for a total of six cases), stating whether the transport moved or not before offloading in Combat Move or taking part in combat. Correct?

Yes.

Secondarily, are we splitting all actual (WW2 and strategic) Axis & Allies games from Classic 1st Edition to the most recent ones into two main groups each of which has either all the above three cases (“1”, “2” and “1+2”) legal or illegal, or are there any such games which have only some of the above three cases legal and the rest illegal?

This grouping is correct.

Either way, I’d like to have the full list of them (Again, it does not need to be an actual list: something like “this full sequence of actions is illegal in every game since Revised LHTR but was legal in Revised OOB and every game beforehand” would be just as good.).

To be clear, I see two cases here.

If I take what you said at the post to which I’m replying now as prevailing over whatever you said in the past and I quoted at this post, what I understand is that,

for the Classic games, 1 and 1+2 are illegal but 2 is legal. for Europe, Pacific and Revised OOB, 1, 2 and 1+2 are all legal. for Revised LHTR and later games, 1, 2 and 1+2 are all illegal.

If I take what you said in the past and I quoted at this post as prevailing over whatever you said at the post to which I’m replying now, what I understand is that,

for the Classic games, Revised LHTR and later games, 1, 2 and 1+2 are all illegal. for Europe, Pacific and Revised OOB, 1, 2 and 1+2 are all legal.

(However, I’m quite unsure about (the original) Europe and Pacific.)

So take your time and let me/us know if you will. I understand that it’s a lot of rules-sets to be sure. Thank you.

For Classic and Revised LHTR and later, all are illegal.
For Europe, Pacific, and LHTR OOB, all are legal.

Considering that it is good to use as few chips or bucks as possible to fill each player’s amount, more high-value coins and fewer low-value coins should be used.
Looking at the needs for the Anniversary edition we cover all the others except the Global edition which has higher requirements and taking into account that the Anniversary, Europe, Pacific and Global editions also require extra amounts from the National Objectives Income.
It should also be taken into account that it is impossible to achieve all National Objectives at the same time because on the one hand some overlap between rival powers and also it is impossible for both sides or for all powers to excel at the same time. However, here the calculation takes into account the theoretically maximum amount that can exist.
Below I also list the quantities required in editions as well, including the revenues from the National Objectives, where they exist:
Starting IPC’s for Axis & Allies games:
1941: 55
Pacific 1940: 81 (157)
Spring 1942: 166
Anniversary: 171 (246)
Europe 1940: 149 (249)
Global 1940: 241 (373)
A&A IPC Calculation.pdf
A&A IPC Calculation photo.png
For the Anniversary edition:
IPC Chips with a value of 1:
It is possible that 6 quads with a value of 1 are needed at the same time. For example if all powers have income ending in 4 or 9 (eg 4, 14, 9, 19 etc). This means that 24 chips with a value of 1 may be needed.
IPC Chips with a value of 5:
Also if all powers have income ending in 5 to 9 at the same time (eg 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 15, 16 etc) they may need 6 tokens with a value of 5 at the same time. This does not change if there are chips with a value of 25 in the set because then, they complete the five after 25 to make a ten up to 30 for the amounts that follow (e.g. 31, 32, 33, 34, 41, 42 etc.).
IPC Chips with a value of 10:
If there are no chips of 25 then 20 chips with a value of 10 may be needed at the same time since the maximum total income reaches 246 IPC.
Having chips worth 25 greatly reduces the requirement for chips worth 10 used to complete tens between 10 and 25 or between 25 and 50 (eg 35, 45 etc). Therefore, the highest requirement for chips with a value of 10 occurs if all powers need two chips with a value of 10 at the same time, so 6 pairs, i.e. 12 chips with a value of 10.
So the perfect sets for the Anniversary Edition are:

Simple required set: 24x1 + 6x5 + 20x10 = 256 IPC with 50 chips Simple configured set: 25x1 + 5x5 + 20x10 = 250 IPC with 50 chips Full required set: 24x1 + 6x5 + 12x10 + 3x25 = 249 IPC with 45 chips Full configured set: 25x1 + 10x5 + 10x10 + 3x25 = 250 IPC with 48 chips

Likewise for the Global version:
IPC Chips with a value of 1:
If all powers have income ending in 4 or 9 (e.g. 4, 9, 14, 19 etc), 10 quads with a value of 1 may be needed at the same time, meaning 40 tokens with a value of 1.
IPC Chips with a value of 5:
Also, 10 chips with a value of 5 may be needed at the same time if the powers’ incomes end in 5 to 9 (eg 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 15, 16 etc). This does not change if there are chips with a value of 25 in the set because then, they complete the five after 25 to make a ten up to 30 for the amounts that follow (e.g. 31, 32, 33, 34, 41, 42 etc.).
IPC Chips with a value of 10:
If there are no chips of 25 then 29 chips with a value of 10 may be needed at the same time since the maximum total income reaches 373 IPC.
If there are chips with a value of 25 it greatly reduces the requirement for chips with a value of 10 which are used to complete tens between 10 and 25 or between 25 and 50 etc. Therefore, the highest requirement for chips with a value of 10 occurs if all powers need two chips with a value of 10 at the same time, so 10 pairs, i.e. 20 chips with a value of 10.
Therefore the perfect sets for the Global version are:

Simple required set: 40x1 + 10x5 + 29x10 = 380 IPC with 79 chips Simple configured set: 40x1 + 10x5 + 30x10 = 390 IPC with 80 chips Full required set: 40x1 + 10x5 + 20x10 + 4x25 = 390 IPC with 74 chips Full configured set: 40x1 + 10x5 + 20x10 + 5x25 = 415 IPC with 75 chips

Some useful charts and comparisons for the including components, between the various versions of the Axis & Allies boardgame. It is about the number of units, their capabilities and their type names. In the following link:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/0kgpp74n68fiew8/A%26A Comparisons.pdf?dl=0

Model Scales:
SOLDIERS: 1/72
TANKS: 1/285
AIRPLANES: 1/900 or larger (2cm for fighters and 4cm for bombers)
SHIPS: 1/4800 to 1/2400
(Νote that as the denominator number increases, the model becomes smaller. That is, a 1/4800 scale model is smaller than a 1/2400 scale model)

I have tried to make a complete overview of the stock count for every Axis & Allies game (33 to my count)…

Please correct me if there are any mistakes :)

I have not included various expansions, just the factory made stock.

@domanmacgee Thanks for your idea, Don.

But such a game (series of games) would be huge. And at the very least you would need new plastic playing pieces for each new era / time period…

@nolimit Really looking forward to play Classic Axis and Allies game with these expansions. Keep you updated.

And to all:

What would you have liked to be included in such an official expansion back then? (Had Hasbro/MB released one.)

One last reply for now.

First, let me hit you up with some pictures of how colors of units for different countries varied in the early days of Hasbro/WotC/AH A&A.

Tanks of the United Kingdom, from A&A Europe/Pacific to A&A Anniversary. (Source: https://boardgamegeek.com/image/424344/) - See the source link for a listing of what piece is from which game.
Axis and Allies - Tanks of the United Kingdom, from A and A Europe/Pacific to A and A Anniversary

And finally, a couple shots of the rarest (non-mistake) pieces in A&A - RN County Class cruisers in Russian Red. These were only done for the first print run of A&A Anniversary. The next time Soviet cruisers were seen in an A&A game (A&A 1942, 1st Edition), they were replaced with Kirov-class cruiser.

First, a comparison shot of all of the cruisers from A&A Anniversary, 1st print. (Source: https://boardgamegeek.com/image/362555/)
All of the cruisers from A and A Anniversary

Next, a clearer picture of those rare Soviet County classes, aligned with the rest of the Soviet Navy in A&A Anniversary. (Source: https://boardgamegeek.com/image/399605/)
The Soviet Navy in A and A Anniversary

I hope that helps somebody.
