Do you like the normal Axis&Allies or the EUROPE/PACIFIC

@dustpan8761 said in Question on IPC Middle East in Europe edition:

When playing axis and allies Europe do the allies get any IPCs per turn for the Middle East?

They do not. The printed value on the territories apply only when/if Germany captures them in which case the Allies must decide who pays Germany that number of IPCs. The relevant rule is on page 19/20 of the Europe rulebook.

Specifically, the “note” on page 20 reads, “The loss of Middle Eastern countries does not lower the Allied players’ income on the chart.”

The Middle East is strictly a liability to the Allies in this game.

I noticed it was your first post after I answered:
Welcome!

We all love 1940 here, so glad you are playing it.

Episode 62

Fresh off the presses! Rounds 8-10 from Axis & Allies Europe

I don’t think that Germany is overpowered in the game, I was just pointing out that they have a very large military buildup at the begginning of the game. They clearly need this in order take advantage of early game action. However, anyone who plays the Allies correctly should have a very good advantage against Germany starting in mid game.

Yes, a Stalingrad expansion would be sweet.

hi, aparantly there are 2 versions of advanced historical!!
one is at axisdomain and has the separate italy, the other one you can more easily play at www.attila-products.de That site has a program that lets you view 8 axis and allies maps, check it out! The game is great, I’ve played 3 games, and it is truly better than standard europe. I have not yet played the one at axisdomain, so I don’t know, I have read the rules, and like the one I have played better. If you do sign up at attila’s site, feel free to send me a bid if you want to try a game.

If you are Germany, and intend to have a naval force operating in the WMed or SAtlantic, then you can forestall Allied use of fighters against this fleet by stationing inf in Gibraltar.

Perhaps also by taking Gibraltar early on, you give Allies the impression you will be striking out into S Atlantic. Thus they may devote some energy & material in that direction; could be a reasonably good low-price diversion.

Of course, after 99 years you will have a messy political referendum on your hand as Spain presses for “reunification” of its former possession. Ach du lieber!

i dont think the axis has that much of an advantage in Europe. germany can be overwhelmed quickly if usa and britain get into the game early. as for pacific, i think japan starts out a little to beast as far as military goes. the aussie and american navies have to quickly take out japans navy to start taking the islands. india also provides an important chokepoint as well for japan that can be annoying for the allied player.

what makes you think that germany will take russia just like that.If the russian player has half a brain he will be able to form a very strong defensive line strecting from lenningrad though belorussia down to ukraine
