First game.. Opinions.. and lots of questions!

My play group runs out of Japanese tanks. They usually get two IC’s in Asia, and go for the tank March to Moscow. I scavenged extra tanks and roundels from my original Axis and Allies game.

Slackaveli, the tech is the same as old rules and continued in to Global, except research is not lost like it is in Global.
NOs are:
Germany: 5 if Axis control all of: France, NW, Germany, Hung, Rom and Poland.
              5 if Axis control 3 of these: Baltic, E Poland, Ukraine, E Ukraine and Belorussia.
              5 if Axis control either Karelia or Caucasus.
Russia:    5 if Russia controls Archangel &no Allied units present onRussian controlled Territory
            10 if Allies control 3 of: Norway, Finland, Poland, Romania, Hung or Balkans.
UK:         5 if Allies control E and W Canada, Gib, Egy, Aus and S Africa.
              5 if Allies control any original Japanese territory.
              5 if Allies control either FrNce or Balkans.
Japan:     5 if control all: Manc, Kiangsu and French Indo- China.
             5  if con 4 of: Kwant, EI, Borneo, Phil, New Guinea or Solomons.
             5 if control one of: Hawaii, Aus or India.
US.         5 if con all West, Central and Eastern US.
             5 if con Philippines.
             5 if Allies control France.
             5 if control 3 of: Midway, Wake, Hawaii or Solomons.
Italy:      Do you need this?

Well, we resumed the game Sunday and went another 8 hours on it. Now the U.S has tech Chart 2 , 1-2-3 & 6, the Brits have jets & radar, the Russians have chart 1, 1 & 6,& s subs, the Ger have chart 1, 1-3-4-5-6, the Japs chart 2, 1-2-3.  The Germans have fought off every force that was thrown at it by all 3 allies and is building up and the Japs are closing in on Russia but the U.S.S.R still has a huge force of tanks and Italy has been invaded over and over by the U.S. and the Brits have taken back most of Africa, now the U.S. is trying to build a Pacific navy again, if this goes on for too much longer we may have to consider a draw. But I think this could be the most awesome game I ever played, by the way it’s the 41’ version.

the fact that the game is not set for a re-print would encourage a lot of people to purchase at least 2 set’s,
if 1 set were lost or chewed by a dog or similar household pet, without the option to go to a local shop to purchase a replacement, most players would purchase 2 set’s,
i should get a copy soon, before they are all sold,
i had 1 ordered, and the shop was out of stock and have not replied to the re-order,
i would suppose that they have not got a re-stock,

if risk 40th anniversary is the 1 with the cities and arrow marker’s, i have seen that in stock a few month’s ago,
i did not purchase the game because i thought that they could have made a more comprehensive game, and they really made a sub standard effort with the playing pieces,
the new rules could have been more expansive while keeping the fast pace intact

Bought mine a month ago for 82 bux off of amazon, guess i got lucky

Flying Tiger is correct.  Sorry if my original post was unclear.  :oops: I’ll try again.

You place an existing fighter on a new carrier by moving the fighter in either combat or noncombat movement, whichever applies, into the sea zone where the new carrier will be mobilized.  Air units don’t actually “land” until the end of the Mobilize New Units phase, though they must be in the space in which they will land by the end of noncombat movement.  The active player may only move pieces from one space to another during the combat movement and noncombat movement phases.

In Classic A&A, you can’t place fighters (new or existing) on new carriers at all.  In Revised, you can place existing fighters on a new carrier in the way you described in your original post.  In LHTR, it works the same way as it does in AA50.

Well said!

I agree with your rational, but I do feel that Paratroopers belong in the game.  I don’t know the solution though.  Perhaps they could only be used in attacks where at least 1 other unit is also attacking the same territory by land or by sea.  (I would make an exception for islands and perhaps undefended territories.)

Wait… they have TWO dice for technologies? That’s something I’d hoped for.
