AAe50 rule?

I play an Ad-Hoc version of the game using a global map (Deaths Head Map in the “Variants” thread) and rules version I compiled under “Minor Axis and Allies Powers” in the “House Rules” thread.  This version incorporates Minor Axis and Allied power into gameply and pulls rules ideas from many other areas of this site.  Dog Fighting was one of those rules that appeared in AAHE….just wanted to make sure I’m interpreting this rule properly…

Yup.

Just like in Classic England could build carriers and American fighters could land on them preventing Germany from having good odds at sinking the British fleet a second time.

@TimTheEnchanter:

This can also be useful if you use a light force to clear a territory, then you can send tanks through to a friendly territory on the other side.

For example, say japan has a big stack of armor and a couple infs in india and a lot of infs in sinkiang.  Let’s also assume the allies have picket defense in kaz and persia.  Either stack would get smacked on it’s own, but together they should hold a territory.  Use a few infs from sinkiang to capture Kaz, and a light force to take persia, then, once you know both battles were victorious, you can shoot the armor stack from india up to Kaz with the inf stack from sinkiang for a formidable hold on the territory.  (I’ve used this to swing US tanks from TRJ through Persia to Caucasus, or to get UK armor from Norway through Karelia to Arc or WRu to help defend russia as well)

yes that is a smart move.

Subs from both sides shoot in “opening fire.” There is an “opening fire step” every round. Unless an opposing DES is present, sub hits (only can hit naval units) in opening fire don’t get to shoot back. Subs get a “free” shot every round.

Here is the complete rulebook.

you might be able to try the avalonhill website, but i’m not sure

go to thrashers site if you want to learn about the commander and cheif rules.

Good old Alex! He new Russian Communism.
He new Russian Communism wasn’t True Communism,
and he knew it very well! - another great Xiuote

Be careful where you start drawing the line. The USSR still had hope in it in the 1920’s. But after the rise of the Rightist Stalinist, the breech had happened.
