Stupid question concerning Minor ICs which I cannot find an answer to…

We use a software called ‘TripleA’ to play online. Just check out these links:

http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=18278.0
http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=27127.0

and browse through the “Play Boardgames”-subforum with it’s child boards

http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?board=40.0

to get an idea about it.

There is either “play by email/play by forum” or live games in the so-called “Lobby”.

Don’t hesitate to ask your TripleA related questions in the Software-Subforum.

HTH :-)

You have your choice of a PhD or a headache.  Take the headache.

What I like to do is unload usa on Normandy. UK goes right after and loads up on USA transports, then it offloads a counter attack the next round wherever USA brings the boats.

@Gargantua:

If you capture a naval base on your turn, and you have ships adjacent to it that haven’t moved.�  During NCM do they recieve the boost?

nope, to able to get move bonus, u have to control it at the start of your turn.

The rules does not say anything about that… In my team the ships get a boost. What does Larry say about this

It is in the rules.
@rulebook:

If a territory is captured, any facilities there are also captured. The capturing player can use them on the turn after they 
are captured.

Ah, I recognize that philosophy:  “There are few submarine problems that can’t be resolved with a suitable application of depth charges”.

@goalievogel:

Can planes scramble on Japan against lets say… American subs as long as they have subs or destroyers themselves?

I believe that per the wording of the rules, aircraft can scramble in response to ANY combat move that ends in the adjacent seazone.  So they can scramble against subs.  But they cannot hit them.  So there’s no reason to scramble.

Also, if japan has subs, they wouldn’t help Japanese aircraft hit american subs.  Only a friendly (in this example a Japanese, German, or Italian) destroyer would allow the defending scrambled planes hit attacking subs (as friendly destroyers assist in combat - this is obviously not the case on attack).

@Maddog77:

What i cannot find in the rule book is how to upgrade it.

Often one must string several areas of the Rulebook together, which can be hard to find.

AAE40 Rulebook Page 24> Industrial Complexes>Unit Characteristics> Tells us the upgrade price= $20IPC (and limits, example- Territory value 3IPC or greater, have to own it at start of turn to use it, etc).

AAE40 Rulebook Page 12>Phase 1:Purchase & Repair Units - This tells us when we can buy the upgraded Ind. Complex and where to put it for now (Moblz. Zone)

AAE40 Rulebook Page 22> Phase 5: Mobilize New Units -Tells us that “place new facilities” is when we put the Major IC chit on the game board territory, as well as some limits to placement.

Hope this helps.

thanx Mclovin…i was just thinking the same thing that the 2nd edition game i have just chilling in the closet would be a great choice to paint some neutral armies with…blue for allies?what shade of blue if france is already blue? red sounds great for axis actually…i noticed grey being used for strict neutrals as well.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          mclovin    " Actually all the neutrals I just used the 1986 second edition infantry. Just mixed up different countries and painted them white, then the flags on the roundels. Not zoomed in 500x they actually don’t look too bad

I’m using second edition pieces for the Pro-Allied/Axis as well, Allied will be all blue, Axis all red. Same thing with the flag painted on the roundel."

I used a really dark blue for the Pro-Allied, so there isn’t any confusion with the French pieces. Red seemed to fit the Axis.
