I usually pull the North African tank to Southern Italy for the W. Russia attack, since there’s no real point in wasting units in Africa. However when playing double ipc, I’ve been contemplating whether it’s worth opening the African front, as the British have no real means of defending it and there are plenty of ipc’s to take. Thoughts?

@SS:
It’s not really political in a way. Has to do with changes that may happen to Internet in a few years.
The title of this post is asking people to call their local Congressmen and ask them to halt the repeal of FCC regulations, sending us back to the internet dark ages of 2 years ago. That’s the definition of political, and then some.
This is Djensens site and his thread. So No matter how hard you try we won’t win that argument :)
I didn’t see this was posted by the owner of the site. Darn, I hate it when mod’s don’t read their own rules.
New here, but I thought I read somewhere that political posts like this weren’t allowed on A&A forums. Not trying to be a jerk, but there’s really no good reason for this to be here.
Any reason you can’t just insert the updated AAA rules? With cost adjustments I’m pretty sure there’s no real balancing issue.
Replacing all AAs with AAAs in the set up would likely affect the opening strategies. I figure if AH/LH had made this update the initial unit placement would be modified.
The people I play with prefer to play with official version of the rules and tend to shy away from house rules anyway.
Yeah, I can see how house rules’d be tricky when playing outside of family. Still, I’d like to see someone try it out and see if it works…
@Nowhere:
To be honest, I almost question why I even bought AA50… I mean I do love the game and I am playing it, but it almost feels like I spent $80 for the new rulebook… lol.
I already had more than enough pieces from my other AA games (including Italy and China) that I don’t need the pieces that comes with the game, and I could print the map from the files on this site… of course it’s nice to have it all in a box (that’s kinda too big, lol), and I’m happy to throw my money at WotC to support them, but after I get around to printing the map (and using the armies I already had) I won’t be using most of what’s in the box! Great game though, feels great to have AA50 after missing it first time around (and I certainly wasn’t paying the $500 cost on Ebay… I wonder how much they’re going for now?).
Just curiously, how do you plan on getting it printed? I’ve been looking around, and so far most printing sites are almost as expensive as getting the game itself.
Bummer. I wanted a 2nd edition AA50 with updated anti-aircraft rules ala 1940 & 1942 2nd editions. :(

That makes sense, thanks a lot.
Hello, new to the Forums but have a question about controlled territories.
This scenario came up in a recent game. Japan had taken India and most of Russia and was trying to take Moscow, while Germany had lost France and needed to divert money to protecting its capital. The German player wanted to give control of Caucasus to the Japanese player since he could build more units there. We argued about it for a while, but couldn’t find anything in the rulebook addressing whether you can give up an enemy territory you are controlling to a friendly power.
Is there something in the rulebook we missed?
