Do units start in the Beachhead boxes?

@krieghund

Thank you so much?

@general-6-stars said in Bombers and artillery:

Be nice if it was reworded fs bomber before and art shots.

I don’t quite understand this statement. The cards could not be more clear:
Card 04 - Antiaircraft Fire Fighters
Card 05 - Bombers Strike
Card 06 - Antiaircraft Fire Bombers

D-Day has got to be the most simple rules to play of all the Axis and Allies versions. All you have to do is follow the cards in sequence; you barely have to read the rules.

OK. Here’s the map. You can play OOB on it or my Advanced game rules.

I just changed values on the battle board. Setup changes I’ll look for
and post. Keep in mind there for d8.

@scottbrooks The first thing you need to do is forget everything you know about 1941. This is a completely different game, with mostly different rules. Looking at it through the lens of 1941 is just going to be confusing (as you’ve already discovered). Approach learning this game as though it didn’t have “Axis & Allies” in the title, with no preconceptions, and you’ll have an easier time.

The order cards are nothing but a framework for walking the players through the game turn, sort of like a player aid. They simply remind you of the phases of the turn, and what you can do in each of them.

Having a look at the FAQ may also be helpful.

I hope this helps…

Do you mean Krieghund? Thank you!

@CWO:

My plastic storage trays are set up so that the butternut-grey ANZAC-pattern ANZAC pieces from AAP40(2) stand in for Australia, New Zealand and South Africa while the butternut-grey British-pattern ANZAC pieces from AAP40(1) stand in for Canada (which is understood to include Newfoundland, and which in principle would also include Eire if it ever went from being neutral to Allied).  That covers the six Commonwealth Dominions, in two groups of three each.  The only cross-set transfer I had to do was to allocate some of the AAP40(2) ANZAC AAA guns to the Canadian set, since AAP40(1) lacked an AAA sculpt.

I would have used the generic AA gun for Canada just for zero cross-set transfer

K, thanx

Its what we were thinking
