You may use the tank and the two infantries in Albania with maybe an artillery and/or an infantry from Northern Italy. This way, Italy would have done it’s part of the deal for Barbarossa and appease Hitler’s demands about it.

This makes sense for France - UK/USA liberates, then France Collects, then Germany recaptures.

England is a different manner.  If USA liberates, Germany goes before UK collects.  If they wait till the next turn, USA can land planes.  Of course Germany can land in Scotland (if they’re boats are safe there) and send a double wave in after America reinforces.  Me, I found it hard (post Sea Lion) for Germany to divert any more resources away from th Russian front - including enough to hold USA out of England.

What to do with those Germans?

@JamesAleman:

@Krieghund:

Yes, they can.

Is it possibile to have kamikaze aircrafts? Let me explain: can i use aircrafts to conduct attacks at sea that they have no possibility of return?

No. You must be able to land, even if that landing site is pending a naval battle or non combat carrier move or sea zone build.

Japan has a special Kamikaze attack that is activated by the allies under specific conditions, but it does not involve normal air units on the board. These are 6 one time attacks on enemy ships excluding subs and transports.

See: page 21 AAEurope 1940 bottom paragraph under “Air Units” third bullet point, last sentence: “You can’t deliberately move an air unit out of range of a potential safe landing space.”

See also: page 13 AAEurope 1940 first paragraph under “Air Units” first sentence: “An air unit that moves in the Combat Move phase must generally reserve part of its move value for the Noncombat Move phase, at which point it must return to a safe landing spot using its remaining movement.”

Note: This is not an official answer, just being helpful.

Thank you. :-)

Thats true,
they are only candiates for joining the EU like Turkey for example…
I Know they Play qualification for European Soccer campionship,
but so does Israel and turkey too… Funny Thing ;)
Think it was intended that iceland counts to European “belonings,”
but it would Be Nixe if Krieghund could clearifiy this b/c imo this rule applies to the European and African (contnental) mainland…

@Imperious:

If UK falls on G2 they get that build before USA, which if they also and planes, the game is hard to come back from.

G2 Sealion is unlikely. G3 is more  likely

Sorry, I’m thinking of my own historical rules in which Romania starts neutral. ~Posting on this soon.  Yugoslavia or maybe later on Ukraine?

Your understanding is correct, MarkVIIIMarc.  However, in scenario 2 the UK player has no casualty options that won’t result in stranding the fighter.  Since sub hits must be taken on sea units, the only casualty options are the one you chose or taking both hits on the carrier, dooming both fighters.  At any rate, taking the hit on the carrier and stranding the fighter is always an option.

Impresive!

Which turn?

Next turn was a japanese one?

yes

So pretty much the US is not allowed to move anywhere in the Atlantic before they are at war… :-P  Not exactly, but almost.

Played 1/2 of a team game tonight.  I had life pretty easy as America and Australia lol.  The Axis did not even make any attacks which get the US in the war on round 3.  More I watch this the more I think it puts them at a disadvantage.

I keep seeing Japan get distracted in Russia and not take the Borneo, Java, etc.  In northern Europe a feint at Sea Lion with a back up of the amphibious landing in Leningrad happened again also. My first two Axis games I did the same thing.  Germany can not FORCE Sea Lion on England and ends up building a carrier or two to protect its fleet.  Sea Lion feints help Italy out since the UK can’t spend much in South Africa though and that double landing in Scotland on G2 does potentially get 16 Germans into attacking London and creates a potential disaster if England attacks the 8 or so land units in Scotland and wins.

With my US strategy I dared Japan by totally abandoning the Pacific just to see if Japan would attack me.  It barely worked.  He just captured Hawaii and sent a few folks after the Philippines.  So of course now it is the end of turn 4 I have a huge navy off Gibraltar West and landed a few bombers there with only a couple inf and barely any protection to goad Italy into wasting transports there.

America with all that money is like the timer in the game.

Like someone pointed out a G1 attack kills Russian inf which usually just backs up.

I propose it also gets the Axis a square or two closer to Moscow or India since America isn’t activated by Germany attacking Russia.

Further Japan must take them high dollar islands to neuter India’s ability to fight back.  This leaves Japan the choice of going India crush if America ignores it or attacking Russia in force if India looks like a pain and Russia screws the pooch with their 18inf or if Stalin has too many troops in Europe as well.

A G1 or G2 attack on Russia puts America at best 5 turns from being able to force a landing in Italy, probably 7 or 8 depending.

In my games Italy has had a pretty good time of things in Africa averaging between 20 and 30 bucks income so they are not entirely helpless.  Japan has to come blockade my west coast and take 12 or more bucks a turn to force me into building 4 or 5 Aircraft Carriers there on the second turn of them doing that.

All powers whose capitals are under enemy control work the same way.  If an ally recaptures their territory from the enemy, that ally gains control of the territory until the capital is liberated.  If they simply move into the territory while it is still under original control, nothing happens.  France in AAP40 is treated as a power whose capital is under enemy control.

You are right.

These sound like really neat house rules. If the allies seem to win too many games over here we will probably use them. Potentially turning all of north africa over to the germans.

Tons of fun stuff with the french. Imagine the germans being able to move french soldiers around africa but the french turn back allied first time normany is landed in!

I play a bit of War At Sea as well. Reading the back of the french cards is entertaining. Ships escaping port and german capture with unfinished guns. Ships firing at americans landing in africa.

Heck, am i remembering right that the british landed in madagascar to liberate it from the french? Wasnt the HMS Barham or the Ramilles or some other old battleship there?

I only have the forum and 1 person to play with so I might use yalls tips to teach someone.

Hey, thats in my rulebook too and i skipped did not notice somehow lol.

Thank you.

Also, I’m not sure if the Chinese are proud of China in AA40 either.

Don’t even get me started on Canadians. They’re so mad, they want a house rule to include Canada as a separate player

As far as I am correct: Yes, you are correct. 1 NB can service multiple SZ’s, when all of those SZ’s are adjacent to the territory containing a NB.
