Amphibious assaults can be done in two steps, consisting of a sea battle and a land battle.  In your example, both the cruiser and the transport would attack the destroyer.  If the attackers win, the transport can offload and the land battle will occur.  If the transport ends up retreating (or being sunk), the land battle will not occur and the transport may not offload.

Super Size Me!!!

I got my ship confirmation and tracking.  :mrgreen:

Of course it will be larger. Otherwise their is no point to redoing it.

@Bodeacious:

30% of a Powers total IPC buys 1 roll for random tech (max 1 per turn). I might give that a go. Advantages small countries that may not be able to take advantage of the tech, and stops large powers from going crazy. No diminishing returns. Maybe yanks can’t purchase until at war.

All powers can buy research from round 1.

I agree, the rule is good because if you use tokens the USA should have every single tech in the game by round 20, and if they’re a little lucky could have all the ones they want by round 10.

yes it comes with global rules.

OK TY for the help.

Thanks will check out tripleA.

OH YEAH!
I did leave out something.  Besides all of the computer incarnations of the board game (“third edition”, Iron Blitz, and TripleA) there is also a RTS called Axis & Allies that never quite worked right on my PC for some reason.  You can get it for like $10 on amazon or ebay.  I’ll have to check it out again and let you know.

Submarines:  Can they attack other subs without a destroyer? It seems like that is not a legal attack.

BlitzKrieg:  Ok say you (German Player) have a front of 10 tanks in West Russia with 20 inf.  Novosibirsk is unoccupied.  The russians have a sizable force on Russia (territory) to defend your attack.  So you send in 9 Tanks all your inf to attack.  You win (as the G’s).  Now can your 1 tank that hasn’t moved blitz through Russia (friendly zone now) and capture Novosibirsk as well?

I’m guessing that its not legal but we are trying to iron that out.

SO not sure if this is an retarded idea.  However, we didn’t like subs not being able to attack other subs.  So our rules of engagements are as follows.  If you want to attack an enemy sub you first have to spot it.  This is determined by rolling a 4 5 or 6.  If you do spot it then you caught them by surprise on the surface.  Then you can attack.  However, the defending sub has an option to defend at “1” or try to submerge and disappear by rolling a 1 2 3.  50% chance vs defending at 16% chance.  If the attack fails and the other sub doesn’t submerge successfully you repeat till the subs are destroyed or the defending sub evades.  Of course the attacker can decide to retreat as well.  I have an alternative rule but i figure i run this one by what do you guys think?

@FearlessLeader:

You can attack them but since submarines can always submerge before any shots are fired if an enemy destroyer isn’t present the most likely result is that the defending sub will simply submerge to escape battle.

That move is illegal. You can only take enemy territories during the combat move and combat phases.

Yep, that was the price for Classic. In Revised was 36, in AA50/AA42 it was 34 and in AAP40 is 36/37/38 (depending wich plane lands on carrier)
