AKA it’s next to useless.

Yeah, I finally noticed and was like… “Thats weak!” Eh, oh well… My jet fighters are good to go tho.

It would be good in later games. Free Industry repairs!

idk_iam_swiss, please try to setup the AA1942 board and play it as is, you will see by round 3 there is not enough space in Europe for all your units.  I meant small to mean that the actual territories (map size) are too small to place all your units, look at the size of the bombers alone.  I’m pretty sure that’s why IL made the map.  I could be wrong.  But the few times our group has played it that and running out of Japanese armor was our biggest gripe.  We ended up using German armor as Japanese with a flag underneath it.  Come on 8 Japanse armor?  What was WotC/AH thinking?

@idk_iam_swiss:

Its not “too small” for a begginer, Save your money. If you find out you like this game. I recomend getting the one coming out this december. Its going to be part of a two part series and youll find the map (just pacific) is larger than your current one. The two together will more than likely take up your ENTIRE kitchen table.

What I used to do, as a high school girl, was to use a white chip under the control marker to signify it made it past the end of the chart once.

Now a days, I use a mapping utility even for face to face games.  No limit on pieces, on chips or on money!  (Also it’s set up instantly and you don’t have to put it away when you’re too drunk to see straight!)

Thank you good sir.

In the SZ, your ftrs can also land on an allied carrier that has vacancies.

Carriers have room for 2 ftrs.

Your can move a carrier into combat along side your ftrs in a SZ. Assuming your units survive, 2 of your ftrs can land in that same SZ on the battling carrier.

It depends who you are playing with. With all of the on-line clubs, it is allowable to unload into multiple territories in non-combat.

For the combat move, it varies between the clubs. The play by e-mail clubs (which mimic face to face rules the best) do not allow a transport to unload in multiple territories.

The CD clubs do let you unload into multiple territories during combat. However, they have allowed this because this is their way of dealing with one of the many bugs in the CD.

When I play with new players, this is one of the rules I get clarified before we start as it can be a pain to sort out later. As long as both parties are playing by the same interpretation, you should be okay.

You know what? I found the 3rd edition rules for the A&A CD-ROM game. It answers my question. It seems only defending subs can submerge. And, if they surface to find enemy naval units, they must fight on your next turn…for at least one round of firing. So, I finally understand. Submerging is meant for defending against air attacks! Thanks anyway!

the maximum out put of any Ic that you did not start with is limited to the teretorys IPC value
