Artillery are only good buys in the beginning of the game. They are less mobile and have less defense then a inf/arm combo and are greatly inferior to tanks alone. However, in the beginning of the game the countries that start with lots of inf in combat zones (rus and ger) have a reason to by art because they boost their existing inf for free essentially boosting they forces that they start with. On G1 if you buy 9 art and 1 inf (the pair for Africa) then overall you basically gained 8 attacking die points for free (due to existing inf).
Bottomline, art are only a good buy on T1 and T2 for Russia and Germany.

Thanks for the responses guys. I looked at the rules and there is nothing about needing one landing unit per bombarding unit.
P.S. I’m thinking about getting a new version of axis and allies but I’m not sure which one. No specific price tag but try to keep it below $75.
Once again thanks in advance.

Hey guys I’m brand new to this forum but not to the game. Just a quick question that my gaming groups have talked about; can a battleship bombard when it is alone in its own seazone or does it need to have an attacking transport with units on it.
Thanks in advance for a response.
