Two Questions (CV Defense and TRN stuff)

Wasn’t really talking about Balancing of it, just thinking about how it would look. I’d say EE would be Soviet because as you said, Stalin had annexed the Baltic Republics, and Eastern Poland, both of which lie in EE. Also when Looking at GER its bigger than Germany actually is because it includes the Western half of Poland, and Czech which at this point Hitler had Annexed.

@Lithiume3:

1. Does all sub start the game submerged? or it’s just a defensive move then after the fight the sub does the sub is getting out of the water and can be targeted by planes, by the next player who do attacks?

It’s a defensive move.  Subs submerge in combat, then resurface after noncombat movement on the same turn.

@Lithiume3:

2. The Wolf Packs Rule
Wolf packs of U-boats prowled the Atlantic, working together to down Allied convoys. The only sure thing
about a U-boat was that there always was another nearby.
If at least three of your submarines make a combat move into a single sea zone, they attack on a 3 (4 if you
have the Super Submarines development). They may come from different sea zones, but they must attack the
same sea zone.

If you begin a fight at 3 U-boats you attack at 3, then if 1 U-boats is downed do you still attack @3 the reste of the fight or since there is less than 3 you downgrade the attack to normal.

They attack at 3 for the whole battle, even if some are destroyed.

@Lithiume3:

3.Island Bases
MacArthur’s forces built many airbases on the islands they conquered. From these bases, they could launch
attacks deeper into Japanese-held territory.
When moving your air units, you may treat island groups as part of the sea zones containing them.
For example, a fighter (move 4) could travel from Hawaii to the East Indies in one turn, assuming your side
controlled both island groups.

I have no idea what up with that… when we are moving over islands can fighter go around the island?? or it as to pass over it and if there’s a AA the AA attack?

If a plane is just passing through the sea zone en route somewhere else, it does not fly over the island.  This NA refers to taking off from and landing on islands.

@Lithiume3:

4. Does AA always attack if a aircraft flies over the AA ?

Yes.

@Lithiume3:

5.Can fighter attack Subs when they are on a Carrier that is been attack by subs? If not what happens to the jet if the carrier is sunk.

Yes, fighters can hit subs.  If the carrier is sunk, the fighters will be able to move one space to land after the battle.  Any land territory that was attacked this turn may not be landed in.  If no landing space is available, they will be lost.

@Lithiume3:

6.When bomber attack a complex; roll a dice 4 and under Attack successfull. Do we reroll a dice to know the IPC “damage”?

You don’t have to roll to hit when doing a strategic bombing raid.  You just roll one die for each surviving bomber and destroy that number of IPCs.

Thanks guys! Here is the file as promised….

Bumped.
@Panther or Wittmann,
I believe this should be in Player help.
Nothing too specific related to  Axis and Allies Revised Edition,
Thanks.

@Gamer:

@ncscswitch:

It would also skew the hell out of Europe.

Imagine Germany’s 6 FIGs and BOM backed up by a large stack of INF…  Throw in an ARM or seven…

Can you say “steamroll” anyone?

I prefer baked rolls.

The above posters are correct, the AA cannot be moved in the same turn it is captured.

Another “rule rationalization” reason for it:
No land units are permitted to retreat from a combat zone after the battle is over.

US turn = US gets it… That is how I have played it…

@The:

The Japanese capitol ships are irreplaceable…That is Japans weak link…Wipe their navy out,however you can and Japan falls like a ripe apple.They wont be able to build an army large enough,nor have enough time to fight Russia

I agree, however its not that easy to catch the Japan navy if they play smart. I f the US navy at Pearl Harbour is destroyed at J1 it will take several turn before US can destroy the Japan navy if it stays together. And if US want to land in France it will even harder for the US navy get the upper hand on Japan. But it is possible, ive seen it happen.
