MOVED: Question regarding Axis & Allies Anniversary Edition

The FAQ was recently amended on Larry Harris’ site to remove all ambiguity on this point.  It now reads as follows:

Q.  If I liberate a friendly power’s territory, what happens to the antiaircraft guns and industrial complexes there?
A.  They are returned to the control of the original controller of the territory.

Transport cannot have more than it load limit at any time.  If Transport full of Allied units, no new units can be bridged with Transport.

But if United Kingdom have units on United States transport that United Kingdom offload, then United States use Transport on their move is OK.

@Mazer:

Hey LT04.

Close, but there is one odd exception: if your capital falls (say Moscow to Japan) and you take another capital (say Berlin to Russia) then Russia gets the money from the Germans and can spend it the next turn.

Very minor point, but I just wanted to note the oddity.  You can’t collect income in the collect income phase, but you can collect someone else’s income  :-D

Peace

@Krieghund:

Actually, in that case you do get the IPCs, but you can’t spend them until your capital is liberated.

Well you learn something new every day.  :-)

See the announcement in the Website and Forum Discussion area.

I will no longer be Tournament Admin with the completion of the current Tournament, by personal choice (I am resigning).

Yes.

An amphibious invasion only requires the sea zone it is being launched from to be cleared of enemy units.

If the Brits leave the English Channel empty, Operation Sealion is one step closer to success.  It does not matter if every other sea zone on the map has enough allied ships to fill the ocean, all that matters is the English Channel has no defending units.

For this discussion, submerged submarines do not count as opposing units.  Fighters do, even if their CV is sunk.

Sankt has the rules correct.

As for house rules, all bets are off on those (which is why discussion of them is reserved for the House Rules forum)

I think using movement limitations and a limit of 10 is a good variant. As for piling everyone in West Russia, yes, that could happen, but then Russia could pile everything in the capitol and hold you off, then all of your other territories are free for UK. It’s very easy to try and win in one round by sending everyone after a capitol like that, and inevitably it’s what everyone did the first time we played that way, but then you learn pretty quick that people are going to second-guess that strategy and you’ve got to cover your ass on all sides. In the end, people end up going with more realistic, and ultimately more enjoyable, starting troop placements.
