Found out how to use mediafire.  Here are your charts.  Please see my last post for a map play question on convoy center boxes.

I have them but don’t know how to post.  Let me know where to send and I’ll do it.

Using your board and love the additional strategic play with the additional szs and territories over other AA maps.

One question on convoy center boxes.  They are attached to 3-4 szs.  How do you get control of convoy center?

Quick question on taking control of a convoy center.  I understand most of the mechanics and rules fairly well.  But I interpret the rules to state that if you control an “adjacent” sea zone you control the convoy route and to put your marker in the convoy box.  However, there are alway 3-4 adjacent sz, so do you have to put your ships in the box itself to take control?  If not, how is a senerio having Japan, UK and US in separate sz surrounding a convoy center?

Thanks in advance.

I do but I don’t have a way to post them

Point taken on “historical”.

Thanks for imput but lets see if I get the intent correct.

Quote:

UK imports most of her oil. Her infantry are fixed cost. Since she didn’t start with any oil centers, she cant lose them and result in cost overrun on her armor, reducing their movement. The rule is ONLY for nations that start with oil centers.

Does this mean that US and Russia have their own, UK has the US supply which is constant.  Germany gets Romania automatically turn 3 but has to protect.  That leaves Japan who has to aquire its oil by force and protect or its hammered with cost and movement penalties?  I like your proposed rule for turn 7.  Makes the South Pacific islands and China strategies much more interesting.

Quote:

planes can allocate the normal combat factor to attack land units.

Does this mean that if I have air superiority in China, I can use only planes to eliminate China’s land forces and then move my land forces in without exposing my land troops in battle?

My son and I have been avid players of all the AA games before we found this site.  We are now anxious to start using your map and enhanced rules.  We set it up last night and will begin play this Friday.  Many thanks for all involved for your hard work and in sharing the maps and player aids.

Question on air combat.  In a land battle where the attacker has air superiority and the defender has no anti-aircraft capability, it appears the attacker’s aircraft can continually blast away uncontested until the defender is either wiped out or retreats.  Correct?

Question on oil availability 1939 map.  If UK starts without any oil countries, do they get it from the US or do they need to acquire a territory with oil by the third round of play?  Japan and Germany in same situation but will get oil when Germany annexes Romania 3rd round and Japan conquers Borneo or East Indies.  Britain can not conquer so can only hope to ally with an oil producer.

Thanks in advance.
