Only one space, from the direction one of your units came(your choice). And you can only retreat from a battle if the defender still has units. Not if you have sunk them all!

Don’t forget the political situation at the time is totally screwed up to… Turkey did, in the end declare war, on Germany, Italy did too and declared war on Japan, Russia and Japan agreed not to attack each other till 1946, Japan recruited troops from Allied control India.

I loved Avalon Hill.

@Cow:

well yeah, the beta for trip a takes awhile, because of new rules etc. takes time.

Actually I heard it’s already playable, the only issues remaining are graphic and some missing territory connections.

I think it is called… v5?

@Krieghund:

@The:

And also, that is not true about china taking control of the british territories. They can occupy, but not control. Even if india is japanese.

Knp7765 is right.  China can control those territories if India is held by the Axis.  The wording is a bit ambiguous in the Rulebook, but that’s the intent.

Ah, thanks. And yes, this needs rewording. It says…

“Kwangtung and Burma are special cases. While they are not Chinese territories and cannot be controlled by China, Chinese forces can attack axis units there and occupy them, but the ipcs generated go to the United Kingdom (unless India is under Axis control). These are the only non-chinese territories that chinese units can occupy”

This specifically states that china can’t control them, only occupy. I inferred that the place where it says (unless India is under axis control) simply meant that the ipcs obviously wouldn’t go to india in this case. In fact, this whole paragraph can be boiled down to simply…

“China can defend/take kwangtung and Burma.”

And then obviously you would know that they couldn’t take it unless india was axis controlled.

Megaeinstein,

Which rule are your talking about?
A) AAE40>page 18>General Combat>Step 2. Submarine Surpise Strike ?
B) AAE40>page 30>Submarines>parg 2>Doesn’t Block Enemy Movement?
C) Something else?

@TheDefinitiveS:

So to get the topic back to victory conditions as I have not had a chance to look at alpha setup because im apparently banned from the larry harris website is it 8 out of 11 AND 6 out of 8 VCs or is it 8 out of 11 OR 6 out of 8 VCs

or

since I´m just an amateur, I have only this site to recommend. But it has all the decals U want:

playtesting really worked well.

In bold are the suggestions i made. The rest of the text is from LHarris

Simple.  The airbase is located near the coastline, so planes can fly 0-50 miles or whatever out to sea to defend.

Planes in Berlin shouldn’t be able to defend Poland in the same manner, no.

Larry’s Alpha + includes a clarification that planes on a Jap airbase couldn’t defend against an amphibious assault (if no naval battle) on Korea.  That’s because the Korean coastline is too far away from the Jap airbase for scrambling….

Lastly, remember A&A is an abstraction.  Not all the rules have good reason.

In AA50 you can bombard France from the Mediterranean immediately after France is captured by an amphibious assault from Z7.  Battleships that can launch salvos hundreds of miles with pinpoint accuracy?

Just roll with Larry’s rules and enjoy the game, man.  Scrambling is for sea zones only.  :lol:

No they don’t fight back.

would be nice, esp since LH typo’d the original post…

I’m glad he rescinded the sub rule - it’s one less thing to worry about.

If you want Larry to see your ideas, why don’t you go to his site and PM him or write in a thread called “talk to Larry”?  He doesn’t visit A&A.org at all, IIRC.

In the Europe rulebook, it is on page 30 under Transports (Loading and Offloading).

@MEGAEINSTEIN:

in AAG40 SU recieves no ipcs for japanese agression

I think he’s refering to the proposed rule changes, which would give either Japan or SU 10 IPCs when the other breaks the truce.

Answered there.
