Problems playing on Windows XP (plz help)

For beginners, I’ve always liked A&A Europe the original.  It’s out of print, but still obtainable.  There’s even a copy for $25 on BBG!

It’s easy to play, dramatic, and not too long. It teaches the basics of game play without getting too bogged down in technical rules.

Consider it!

Thank you very much
S.A.

Sorry to hear about your ordeal, Poague. You were remarkably close if you were listing that out from memory. I checked my board and then double-checked a couple of times (I find the sillhouettes on that board to be difficult to read). You missed two Japanese sea zones, the airfields, a US sub, and there were several quantity tweaks, mostly on US side. I also added the control markers. Still, that was an impressive stab at it.

Axis & Allies Guadalcanal Setup:

Japan
Sea zone A: submarine
Sea zone B: cruiser, 2 destroyers, 2 transports
Sea zone C: destroyer, submarine
Sea zone E: cruiser
Sea zone F: transport
Sea zone G: cruiser, transport
Rabaul : battleship, 2 aircraft carriers, 4 fighters, cruiser, destroyer, 2 transports, 2 bombers, 3 fighters, A.A. gun, artillery, 4 infantry, supply token
Bouganville: fighter, A.A. gun, artillery, 3 infantry, 2 supply tokens, airfield, Japanese control marker
Choiseul: artillery, infantry, Japanese control marker
Santa Isabel: infantry, Japanese control marker
Malaita: infantry, Japanese control marker
New Georgia: artillery, 2 infantry, supply token, Japanese control marker
Guadalcanal: 3 infantry, 2 supply tokens

U.S.
Sea zone J: battleship, submarine, 2 destroyers, 2 transports
Sea zone K: aircraft carrier, 2 fighters, cruiser, destroyer, 2 transports
New Caledonia: aircraft carrier, 2 fighters, cruiser, 2 destroyers, submarine, 2 transports, 5 bombers, 5 fighters, A.A. gun, 3 artillery, 3 infantry
Guadalcanal: A.A. gun, 3 artillery, 5 infantry, 3 supply tokens, airfield, US control marker

Sea zones D, H and I are empty.

But keep in mind the following exception:

@rulebook:

If a Japanese industrial complex is built on a Chinese territory
and that territory is later recaptured by the Chinese or liberated
by another Allied power, the industrial complex is removed from the game.

(If you play 1st Ed. it is on page 9.)

I say your in excellent position to divert some forces to Japan. I think you should start building Pacific navy. but send some forces to africa. but you need to atleast bockade the suez if your building in the pacific. then move you bombers to the middle of the board. also you should attack FIC with india.  but what happened to russia. I hope that is an invisible chips under your sole inf in the ukraine. and that it stands for 100.

thanks cystic crypt

hi
I want to play via email axis and allies. so who wants to play with me? then email me:

Unlimited IC factory in some places is great, like Brazil for instance. However, I think it’s pushing it by placing an unlim. IC in French West Africa since USA can reach it on their 1st-2nd turn. Maybe relocating it to Egypt would be a better as it gives the Germans the advantage of holding Africa a bit longer but at greater cost. Also placing an extra UK inf in Egypt might deter the Germans from taking until the 2nd turn. It’ll be a repeat of the great battle of El Alamein between Rommel and Montogomery. And this time maybe the Brits won’t outnumber the Germans at least 2 to 1.
