I'm new, I'm addicted to this game, and I have questions!

You need to add up the total Unit IPC value for each side (land and naval, not including ICs). If it’s a tie at the end of the Russian turn (or if the Axis is ahead), then the Axis is very likely to win the game.  You can do this automatically if you are using a program like aBattleMap.

I developed a statistical model for predicting game outcomes which is pretty accurate (100% accuracy on my small sample of games, starting on round 5):

Well, the fighter CAN attack with ground troops might be a better way to put it.  It is up to the player what they want to assign to a battle.

For example, if you have to fight through enemy ships to do an amphibous landing, you can choose whether to have the fighters attack the enemy ships OR participate in the ground battle afterwards.

If you are referring to the original A&A (Classic), then I don’t think that was the rule.  You could always load/unload in the same turn, to my knowledge.

Okay, and thanks to you both.

Is it more popular to play with 5 players or just have one person be the axis and one the allies.  At the end of the game once one side is completely destroyed, do you play world domination.  My friends and I on Saturdays when we have hours to sit and play continue the game once one side is destroyed and play every man for himself, it definitely makes the game more interesting while you are mopping up the decimated side.

after you launch the program select “load new game” look for the file revised.xml, select it and click  open.  now try starting a game, it should give you the revised version.

ydavid is correct
