how do you get between SZ5 & SZ6?  can ships get through that tiny opening at the bottom of Norway and the top of Western Europe?

aaa 3@1:

aaa 10@4

When you purchase say a battleship or destroyer in the beginning of your turn and when you go ahead and place them at the end, do you have to put them next to a territory where you have an IC or can you place them anywhere on the board?

also, if say the UK take a transport and a tank along with a sub and attack the solomon islands where the japs have just 2 infantry there and a transport, does the sub only get one shot?  and what if the japs hang tough and kill the tank and UK is only left with a transport and sub, is the battle over at that point?

1.  can a fighter attack a sub in open sea?
2. I know a battleship or destroyer can be part of an amphibious attack, but say western europe was lost by germany and UK took it over, later Germany moves tanks in to take it back.  If UK has a battleship sitting off the coast of W. Europe, can that defend the land or is that only part of a naval or amphibious assault??

the navy part of this game always confuses me.  open sea battles is self-explanatory, but if a ship is sitting off land somwhere, can it be part of attack or defense if the battle is all land units fighting??

I have ever rarely seen the Axis win this game.  I thought the revised edition was supposed to even things up, but still it is almost impossible to win.  I mean,it’s still 3 countries vs. 2.  Does anybody have a strategy where Axis can win??

I hear in the 50th anniversary edition coming out in October that they introduce Italy so its 3 vs. 3.  Hope that helps.

Hey, I have an original CD game of Axis & Allies but it’s for Windowns 95/98 and I have XP.  It loads, you can choose options and all that then as soon as the game begins it doesn’t work.  Anyone have any ideas on how to get this to work or am I screwed…

Thanks Tim… I understand everything perfectly now… I really appreciate the detailed response.  This game is hard to nail down all the rules at first, but it’s so much fun… My 15 year old son is really enjoying it with me.

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my questions…

Ncscswitch… I have a couple follow-up questions.

regarding transports, can you load, move and them unload all in the same move?  combat or non-combat?  or do you have to wait to unload on your next turn? and how many moves is that?  in other words, trns can move 2 I belive, so is loading and then moving one space considered 2 moves?

and i guess the same rules apply to loading a carrier with planes?

also can somebody please explain how the strategic economic bombing works?

Is there a limit to how many non-combat moves you can make??

Hello.
It’s been a loooong time since I played and I forgot some stuff… can someone please clarify 3 points for me?

1.  transports…  How many troops can each transport hold?  and when can you load them (combat or non combat move?)  and I take it they have to be right next to land to load?

and when can you unload them?  during a combat move and can you unload and fight all in the same turn?

2. submarines.  can you explain the submerged vs. non-submerged and when they can switch back and forth and when they can attack?

3.  carriers.  how many planes can be on a carrier and can you put them there at the end of your turn once you buy one?  can you fly one of your existing planes from the land onto them at any time?
4. in each territory there is a circled number… what does that represent?

oh, and at the end of your turn when you get to place your bought units, you can only place them in territories where an industrial complex is correct?

thank you very much  :-D

Damn.  I was really hoping they had that… Hopefully they will develop one.  Anyway, thanks Craig, i’ll check that out.

thanks, but I’m not looking for the triple A.  I mean the actual pc version of the new revised Axis & Allies board game…  just like there was an actual CD game of the original 10 years ago… does this exist?

Anyone know where I can get a PC version of the game?  i used to have the original on a cd but I lost it in a move… I would really love to play on computer as well as the board game… any help?  (byw, i am talking about the real game, all I could find searching is this $5 game that is NOT the real game)

Hey,
I’ve played the original version many times but I just recently ordered online the new, revised version.  My question is, can only two people play this version??  and how would it work?  I’ve been told that with this new version, you pick a country to play whereas the old game you played either the axis or allies… Can someome please explain?  i want to be able to play with my son.

thanks.
