if you count the regular income from all nations together you come up to 149 IPCs. With the national Objectives you get an possible additional income of somewhat around 90 IPC at maximum. So if noone saves any money ever the maximum you’ll need at one point is somewhere around 240 IPCs. Now you might want to count in some savings and the possibility to change between the different denominations.
I guess to be on the sure side you should have about 350 IPCs. How many of which denominations depends a bit on what you and your buddies prefer. Would you want to have more then 10 1-IPC-bills? Or do you change those anyway to a 5 or 10-IPC-bill? And so on :wink:

I’m using a piece of rubber shelf liner (like ‘Grip-It’ on Amazon) between tabletop and each A&A board. Stuff is like $1 a roll at the grocery store. Slight dampening affect and definitely keeps things from sliding around.

Huh? How in worlds would one keep track of such a mechanic lol  :lol:
Aircraft only get the bonus if they share a tt with an airbase
If there is not an airbase in a tt then no aircraft get the bonus movement out of that tt

The development of the ruleset for Europe/Pacific/Global 1940 that lead from the first edition to the second edition was called “Alpha + X”.
No more reason to care about as the second edition rules (+ the latest FAQ) apply.

That would be my map that somebody else modified…Most of these changes are on the outside of that map and font changes.

They also moved around the circled IPC things and the roundels got changed or re-sized. It also appears they borrowed some other files like IPC chart, etc from another poster.

They can attack, too. But you need to ensure that your attacking fighters are able to land safely either on the AC or on a friendly territory. What the rulebook meant is simply that combat and non-combat moves of the AC and the fighters are dealt separately.

Wow thanks I wish the rulebook stated it that way

Appreciate the quick replies. I was rather skeptical about buying this game due to the fact that I didnt think the card idea would be any good. I figured every turn would basically be the same and no fun would come out of it. I was wrong. I played with my son soon after I brought it home, and had a blast (even though I got whipped). I really got whipped once we used the fortune cards (I rolled too many 6’s).Anyways, I highly recommend this game. Loads of fun.

Makes sense now, I appreciate it. :-D

I stand corrected. I was thinking it was like 2 edition…been a while since I played 1 edition.

@Baron:

How do you find this triple A sofware?
Thanks in advance.

The “software” section of this forum has all the information you need.

Well that definitely answers my question, thank you very much.

Im just curious because I have a buddy that says he had a game last 2 weeks. To me, the longer the better.

@bhughes1971:

Am I right in assuming that anti aircraft guns can only be moved if they are loaded onto a transport?

No. They can be moved on a transport during NCM as well as they can move to a friendly territory in NCM.
An antiaircraft gun cannot move during the Combat Move phase (other than being carried on a transport if the
antiaircraft gun was loaded on a prior turn).

@bhughes1971:

And if so, can they attack once loaded onto land to knock down a bomber, or does that have to wait until next turn before any combat is started and I want to shoot down my opponents bomber? I hope Im not sounding too much like a moron here… :-P

No. AAguns never attack. They defend when the territory in which they are placed is attacked by enemy planes.
Also they can be unloaded from transports only during NCM.

When I play with my friends, we do what you propose; we count the IPC value of a country at the end of its turn.  We find this to be simple because we simply count the IPC difference for each territory, and add this (or subtract) from the default IPC for this nation.

We find that when we adjust the tokens for all countries, that this is a very error prone method, and it forces us to do counting that is not necessary.  All that is necessary is to know how much your nation is worth at the end of your turn.  At all other times this information is useless.

But, you should still use paper money, because you collect money at the end of your turn, and you may also have saved some money from your previous turn phase.  The amount of money that you have in pocket is generally not the same as your IPC value at any given moment in the game.

Right. In fact transports don’t roll. They need other warships as protection. Only the other ships roll.

Thanks so much
