    @djensen You could also possibly make support tiers based ons playable A&A nations that could display as country tags. For example, here is a mockup of a French country tag.

    Just a neat idea if you’re considering to add more tiers. You could also do the same thing with game pieces if you wanted to.

    @DoManMacgee I agree so far. I don’t play Tournaments so at some point we will not agree. But basically all versions of A&A should be easy to learn. A&A is not a hex and counter game. I miss the Classic Rulebook, it was 4 pages if I remember correct.

    Lets take the Road Movement rule. In North Africa anything with wheels can move 5 spaces on a road. I love it. But in Stalingrad only Tanks and Mech can move 2 spaces and 2 additional spaces if they start at a road, but Assault guns and Rocket Launchers can not move 2 additional spaces. Now that don’t make sense since the Panzer III and the Stug III had the same range and the same speed limit. And also the ZIS 42 halftrack was the excact same as the ZIS 42 Rocket Launcer. I guess its because of game balance. But for playability all motorized vehicles should be able to Road Movement. So this rule beats me for sure.

    I also noticed there are 6 spaces between Grain elevator and Tractor Factory. So it takes a Tank 3 Rounds to move between those points. A Round is 2 weeks. So it takes 6 weeks to drive 15 miles, or 25 km. I am awere it was a lot of rubble and debris in the streets of Stalingrad, but I walk 15 miles, or 25 km, on my feet in 'bout 3 hours. OK, lets give this to game balance and playability, it’s just a game after all. But it does bother me.

    I need to start posting in the Stalingrad Forum. Hoper you have some inputs.

    Naval Mines can enter game from Early 1940 (Game Start) - but only Escort units can transport and place them at any sea zone border.

    In other words:
    Naval Mines that are produced from game start must be stacked in the Capital until they can be transported and placed by Escort units later in the War.

    @The_Good_Captain

    No, the British player cannot buy supply with pre-game variable RPs.
    On page 9, the plastic game pieces are referred to as combat units and trucks. As supply is not a plastic piece, they are not combat units.

    Under LAND UNITS on page 30: “Infantry, mechanized infantry, artillery, anti-tank guns, anti-aircraft artillery, scout cars, and tanks are combat units, but trucks are not combat units.” Supply is not listed here as a combat unit.

    Looks like we should have defined combat units more carefully, but the phrase “combat unit” appears dozens of times in the rulebook and it is clear in those uses that supply is not considered a combat unit.

    Thanks,
    Matt

    Howdy, you get what you put into it, the figure cards reminds me of the minis, in the old Buck Rogers in the 25th. Century Game.
    You can always House Rule the game, to one’s delight. I plan to RoundRobin it, in the near future(another post, another day).
    I already gotten some minis from my old die casts Triacs and Vrocs sets.
    Adding to the game fighter bombers, hover copters, VTOL Fighters that operate from the Cruisers, Recon. Jeeps, and, a “Sour Grapes” land missile carrier.
    You can order the Bucket of Modern Air and Sea Forces, where you can pick up some nice nuke attack submarines.
    Also APCs and Hover tanks, from Fortress America and transports from A&Allies Games.
    Supplements of Forces will add more spice to your gaming, it work wonders for the old Buck Rodgers game.
    My RoundRobin will only use the original units of eight, that came with the game.
    After all Zvezda used the Command and Colors system quite nicely for some of their games.
    G.I. Joe powered by Axis and Allies rules will go quite nicely, give it time.
    Who knows what the future brings, Lord of the Rings Battle of the Five Armies powered by Axis and Allies would be interesting, thanks, Pellulo

    @Krieghund Thank you for the swift reply. I don’t think that thought crossed my opponent’s mind (we usually play Global, so the idea of attacking Germany…and leaving oneself open to counterattack…is not on the radar).

    Zombies is a different game.

    @Suppressmeajumma
    Such an opener is totally viable. Not sure if it is a top strategy, but it works.
    For me that opening includes sinking the UK fleet at 106 (Canada), 109 and 111. Just leaving the channel fleet alone. That takes all DDs and TTs away from UK and gives Germany some free reign of Atlantic the first few turns. And I build a Carrier plus sub/DD or 2 TTs.

    Sea Lion itself is easily countered by UK, but they have to invest to do so, and possibly have to neglect defense of Cairo.

    And Germany can use it’s fleet to take Gibraltar and put US in an awkward position.

    That opens the MED for Italy and enables them to create some disturbance for Allies. (but do not expect too much from them, it is a minor power, no matter what)

    Starting G2, Germany should build and move all they can to Russia, though. That is where the war is won. “Owning” Atlantic is nice, but the money lies in Caucasus, as you noted.

    Hey there,

    maybe you followed my questions regarding the Russian revolution (here: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/post/1779566). If so you should be familiar with the situation.

    If not: Below you see a pre-Revolution situation. Austria finished its moves. It wiped out the British troops in Kazakhstan. An easy win, but a huge strategic error.
    The Russian player then tried to trap those troops by provoking the Revolution with a withdrawal from Livonia and the Liberation of Ukraine. It failed, interestingly. So Ukraine stayed contested. Subsequently, the Entente accepted without hesitation the offered armistice and the Austrian army could move out of Russia to fight another day.

    cec45a2c-a2ed-4b4d-870e-52e82d7fc20f-grafik.png

    That said, I would like to know if you would accept the armistice even if Russia succeeded in liberating Ukraine and therefore trapping the Austrian army for good. What say you?

    You never control a sea zone.
    Sea zones are either friendly (contain no enemy surface warship) or hostile (contain enemy surface warship(s)).
    The result of a sea battle is that you have cleared it of enemy units (or not).

    The practical application in an actual game is the following:

    This can adversely affect naval battles with multiple unit types on both sides and land battles in which the defender has a bomber(s) or a defense with multinational forces present.

    It can cause the defender to misallocate his hits not knowing if the attacker is going to roll hot, cold or par.

    Round 1. Red has three rattlers from NP Base attack and destroy a White jet on N. Greenland 1 VP hex. They land on hex controlled by Black. While 2 Rattlers from ice hex destroy Blue jet, for a lost of a Rattler, in a central Greenland hex. Again the remaining Rattler lands in 1 VP N. Greenland hex, that Black controls.

    Moves C with trooper that lands on 1VP island two hexes from Main Blue Base. The Rattler from main base lands on captured island.

    Builds Rattler on its main base.

    Blue using special ability, has C(now with trooper) and jet, attack 1VP island two hexes
    from Main Blue Base. Island defended by Red C, trooper, and, Rattler. Only Blue trooper left, island is taken.

    Meanwhile 2 Jets from Apogee Base attack Cobra’s six Rattlers on 1VP N. Greenland hex. The jets are lost, along with 2 Red Rattlers.

    Builds a Jet at its base and Apogee.

    Black moves from its main base, two hexes closer to Main White Base, of a C with trooper and Rattler. Two Rattlers attack 3 Jets at Apogee Base, from N.Greenland 1VP hex. Both are lost and a Blue Jet destroy.

    Meanwhile 3 Rattlers from NP base and ice hex, land in N. Greenland.

    Builds Rattler at its main base.

    White two jets from Apogee Base attack Cobra’s 5 Rattlers in N. Greenland. They are lost but two Red Rattlers are destroyed.

    Builds two Jets for it’s Main Base.

    Round Two:
    Red is down to a Rattler on its home base, builds a trooper and C for NP base.
