@taamvan said in Is Australia an island?:

@Azpathfinder

Its an island in real life…

AxA defines it differently

It would cheese up some Global games, but except for cheese there isn’t a reason you HAVE to forbid this play, Phillipines seems like a good place for a factory

Its actually a continent so not an island. Else you could say that basically everything is an island. Just that some islands are shared between multiple nations.

@Azpathfinder

The people who responded above me are correct.

Thanks for giving me an idea for a house rule though…

@azpathfinder said in IC in France Liberated by US - Upgrade?:

Can the US upgrade the factory in Normandy to a major IC and keep control of it (until Paris is liberated, at which point it would become a French IC)? Thereby allowing the US to build 10 … or are they restricted to building 3?

Rulebook Europe 1940.2 page 27:
“The industrial complex to be upgraded must be located on an originally controlled (not
captured) territory that you have controlled since the beginning of your turn and that has an IPC value of 3 or higher.”

Normandy Bordeaux - originally controlled by France - has an IPC value of only 2.
So two reasons why US can’t do what you intend.

Please only provide answers that support my opinion, because the other side (who also reads this forum) is filled with a bunch of cheaters and hooligans.

I can’t figure out which side seems to know the respective rules however.
So - sorry - just in case your opinion was against the rules. :wink:

@Azpathfinder:

Has anyone ever tried 1940 rules/units on the 1942 map?

We have a group that enjoys to play, but 1940 is a serious time commitment that we just can’t schedule, and it seems to be taking the fun out of it (for us). When we played 1942, we could set up and play a few rounds in one night and while not always finishing, we could get a good enough sense in how the game was going to declare a victor.

We do enjoy the new pieces and rules (scrambling, tac bombers, convoys, air fields, kamakazi, shipyards) from 1940 … has anyone ever tried to use them on the older, smaller, more manageable 1942 board? any tips? any existing transfer rules? any thoughts?

Thanks everyone!

I would stay away incorporating air bases, shipyards due to number of spaces on the 1942.2 map.

Kamikazis and scrambling although fun, they will drastically change the overall strategy and dynamic of the game.

Now when it comes to mechanized infantry and tactical bombers that’s something that can be integrated with success. I haven’t done it yet but will start trying it out now that my brother and I have about 20 games under our belt and can call ourselves intermediate players. I will post results and overall outcome. In my opinion it will slightly benefit the Axis thus making it even harder for the Allies.

Pretty easy to paint.  You could always just spray them one color too.

Here’s my YouTube tutorial on convoy disruptions…

What a great tutorial thanks! Love the series, I’m watching the customization series now …  thanks for creating it!

I concur, their contact is terrible to non-existent, and they are slow to deliver… but at least they do (eventually) deliver… and for some very nice things that you can’t seem to find elsewhere (Combat Dice comes to mind)… it’s worth one poor customer service episode, and a little longer wait time to get something very nice for Axis and Allies that you will have for years… I don’t intend on dealing with FMG again, unless they offer something I can never get anywhere else… but at least they DO deliver (eventually), and I now have my Combat Dice!

P.S.
I had to toss that 7th Russian die into my “random dice collection can”… you have no idea how that 7th oddball 31st dice messes with someone suffering from acute OCD.
