So happy to finally get the clarification on this. It’s been bugging me. As usual, it’s in the rulebook somewhere, just needed to find it!

@knp7765:

The only issue I had was with the giant ANZAC infantry units. They are a head taller than all other nations’ infantry and really look weird on the board.

Also, their round base has a larger diameter than the standard A&A infantry base, so they don’t fit in the central depression of standard A&A mini poker chips, which is a bit annoying.

Slightly revised VC list:

Included a couple of neutrals.

London
Paris
Rome
Petrograd
Kiev
Tiflis
Cairo
Brazzaville
New Delhi

Brussels
Belgrade

Berlin
Cologne
Konigsburg
Vienna
Lemberg
Constantinople
Damascus
Baghdad
Dar-es-Salaam

Wouldn’t have southern Africa on my map (or I’d go the whole hog and have Asia and the Pacific as well), but if it is on there it might as well have tts worth fighting over.

By and large, the above list pairs up VCs across the main fronts vel:

London-Berlin (North Sea)
Paris-Essen (Western Front)
Rome-Vienna (Alpine Front/Adriatic)
Konigsburg-Petrograd (Baltic)
Lemberg-Kiev (Ukraine)
Brazzaville-Dar-es-Salaam (Central Africa)
Cairo-Damascus (Middle East)
Delhi-Baghdad (Mesopotamia)
Tiflis-Erzerum (Caucasus/Black Sea)
New York-Mexico City (Rio Grande Front)
Moscow-Constantinople (The Straits)

anyways c pas mal gg, j’ai jouer plein de game online avec le prog, j’ai appris des trucs interessant, faut jten parles, ya une affaire en particulier quon fesait wrong.

@UrJohn:

It’s a more difficult and confusing transition from 1941 to 1942 if you change most of the units prices instead of the TT values. The TT values are printed right there on the map, but unit prices are something you need to know by memory to be able to strategize your buys.

That’s a good point. However you could just multiply the cost of everything by two or three (probably two). It wouldn’t be too bad, then. Although the way it is OOB is an interesting twist all by itself. Russia being able to abandon the far east, Africa hardly being worth anything, etc.

Hey guys,

After a 2-3 years pause, I’m up for another game ! I’d like to play AA42 LowLuck (or not, but I’d prefer LL). I only have the OOB rules at the moment, so I don’t know if there are any official Techs or NAs. If you have something to propose, feel free to do so ! Same goes for a bid. Is a bid needed in AA42 ?

For LL, I remember there are a few specific rules, for the strategic bombing for example. Like you had to pay 2 IPCs to do a SBR (3 or 4 IPCs damage) if there is an AAgun in the territory. Feel free to refresh my memory on this !

Thanks

EDIT: the forum dicey and ABattlemap would be used, preferably.

I cant seem to be able to change the order of loss for the defender in a naval battle. Even tho the order says sink AC first, he keeps sinking Cruisers…

Sorry if this has already been covered, but can Chinese units move into Kwang to fortify (even if the Brits still control it) or can they only move in to liberate it?
Thanks.

K, thanx

Its what we were thinking

mantlefan is correct.

A&A:Europe subs cannot take hits from airplanes unless the attacking units have destroyer with them.

So attacking AC & 2 subs is really good option, for taking 18ipc boat down and having 50/50 of not losing a plane.

I meant that each fighter has a 50% chance of a hit. You really only need one, IMO. (sorry, I just plain dont see that transport as a threat. it’s only 1 tank or 2 infantry!) Besides, the UK can take it out later.

And yea, I conceed that you might still loose the sub in spain. So perhaps dumping that tranny on Canada would be better.

I’m still not going all out with Russia as mentioned in post 1. Although, I was thinking about it, and it is a good way to reduce the number of units on the board, dramatically. Perhaps a way to open Finland or E. Euro up for an invasion sooner by the allies? (BTW, unless I can get jap fighters, I don’t like to attack with my eastern russian forces. If I can get jap fighters, I’ll sacrifice 7 infantry and a tank just to get 1 or 2 enemy fighters!)
