Balance of Optional Rules

@Krieghund Thank you. Very interesting how a technological breakthrough affects other core game rules here.

Yard sale.  eBay attempted to plunder my bank account when someone claimed they didnt get a package I shipped, even though I had the tracking information proving it arrived at his registered address.  Luckily, I had closed the account, so now I have the cash, but can’t use ebay or paypal.

@ncscswitch:

But again, that is a Revised rule, not Classic.

And Mattylite, just making sure which version you have…  If you have the Milton Bradley Game Masters game from the 1980’s, you have Classic.  If you have the Avalon Hill version (your game board has numbers in the sea zones) then you have Revised, and would want to look in that topic area for answers to any other questions you may have.

I think it was all clear when he mentioned this :D There are no West-Russia or Belorussia in Classic :P

@mattylite:

Or a not-so-abstract example: Say I’m Germany and I have 10 tanks in Belorussia.  USSR has a couple infantry in West Russia.  On my turn, can I:  1.) send three or so tanks to kill those West Russians

I think it was allowed in 2nd Ed,
or better: there must be one edition where you could do that.

In 2nd edition rules – a surviving fighter in this scenario can only land if an island (completely surrounded by water) exists in that SZ.

In 3rd edition rules – when an aircraft carrier is sunk. The surviving aircraft on it can attempt to locate and land on a friendly island, territory, or aircraft carrier. These aircraft have one movement point to do so.

LOL!

he might have the PC version, and if you download that off the internet i highly doubt it comes with a full rulebook

@Wild2000:

Stacking AA guns can be an advantage to the Allies when it becomes necessary to juggle AA guns between Allied territories. Under second edition rules, the Allied turn order can cause industrial complexes to go without an AA gun which can mean big trouble, especially if the Axis has heavy bombers.

I have had this situation arise many times in the European theatre, specifically when German territory is falling or the US has rockets.

agreed. This can even apply to the Axis as well. It may be nice to be able to “hold” a gun, while moving one at the same time. I remember at least one game where i wished that i could have 2 aa guns (even tho’ only one could be fired).
