Copy?

@edfactor:

I think all of the comonwealth were really seperate economies.
I thought UK/Canada/SouthAfrica/India/ANZAC should all handle their monies seperately but they should all move simultaneously - i mean they all cooperated as part of the comonwealth I don’t see why ANZAC moves seperately from UK.

This would be a logistical nightmare and there is NO WAY i would have enough patience to play A&A.  Maybe historically yes, but it’s a game people…

@Krieghund:

From the AAP40 Rulebook, page 9:

Chinese territories on the game board have a Nationalist Chinese nationality symbol on them.  Some of these territories begin the game already under Japanese control.  They still are considered Chinese territories for purposes of original ownership.

@Gallo:

Back to the issue: so Japan can only build new a industrial complex in Korea

Japan can build a new major industrial complex only in Korea.

SO, to simplify, a MAJOR IC can only be built on a territory with your flag, and an IPC of 3 of higher; and a MINOR IC can be built on ANY non-island territory with an IPC of 2 or higher.

Somehow i’m getting a red x in Microsoft Office Picture Manager when i open them.  The preview in the folder works fine and i can open it in ms paint…… any one else?

Awesome, thank you.  That’s what i thought

As per the new Alpha+.2 setup, where does it say the french forces turn into German when Paris falls?  I keep reading about it on here, but i cant find it in the actual rules page.  Is this just a house rule for Viche?

I have and have been using the Pacific one.  I’m getting Europe for christmas… and was just curious!

Since England is not classified as an island, its aircraft wont be able to scramble will they?

hmm good point.

Combat move the transports (2 inf and 2 tank) from japan to alaska, take it. Noncombat move all the fighters and tac bombers there and put up a Minor IC J2.  Then take out all the units at PI J1 with airpower and “take” it J2.

that would take forever, im not sure i have the patience for that unless you can convince me otherwise haha

That would be cool, but how does that even work. i was just starting to read about those.

I live in Manassas and would like to play with some one besides my cousin

Ok thanks, I appreciate the quick response! I’m probably going to get the board out tonight and start thinking up strategies

I’m new to this forum so if i do something noobish feel free to flame, just let me know what to do differently  8-)

(Assume all player skills are more than competent in strategy and history, but not well versed in A&A per se)

Background: 1st game was before i knew about this wonderful place and found the rule corrections.

1. I was Japan and had a horrible time eliminating China/closing the Burma Road, and India took longer than Australia did.  I built IC’s in china and was making progress but I was bleeding terribly.  What’s the best way to push through China quickly?

2. I ended up loosing because I didn’t realize Japan was in 1 turn striking distance from Hawaii and lost because my cousin took Japan in a US all out massive attack as i went for broke on the 6th city. How can a prevent this from happening again short of tall stacking inf on mainland Japan?

3. Is it best to play with 3 or 4 people? 3 seemed the most fun. 1 U.S., 1 Japan, 1 everything else

4. Is it a bad strategy for Japan to try a Pearl Harbor and leave the PI alone for a couple turns since US cant make new units there? The Hawaii Islands stepping stone was killing me last time.

These are beautifull! Thank you!
