Hi, i was interested in playing this game, but I am too young to be able to buy this game at HBG, so I took a picture of the map, made it looking nicer with GIMP and printed it out. However, there are a lot of errors and I want to reprint a flawless map. Because the pixels are so thick, I needed to redraw the names and borders, but I can’t figure out the names of some territories. Also I had a lot of ambiguity with the rules, can someone help me?
To begin (I dont ask all my questions yet as I don’t expect anyone to reply to my message but whatever…), I have a question about Soviet IC’s. The rules state they can be destroyed by the Axis, but how and when? Upon capturing? At the end of the turn? At the end of the Soviet turn?

Why not have Parents or a older family member get you the game ?

Oh my Bad. I see a 5.0 rules now with new game.

I would think Germany can destroy the IC in combat phase on capturing the territory.

If I’m reading rule right Russia pays 10 icps penalty to bank for every IC destroyed per turn.

@jesse144 A bit of a late bloomer when it comes to the later versions eh? You’re a rare lucky man to have a wifey to play and actually like A&A, been currently working on my house rules over the YouTube for almost a year now- they’re in it’s finishing touches before I can confidently unleash them on the Forums Real soon!!!

Sweet. Something I can pick over. Lol

They have to have 1 allied unit in it at least in each city with no German units in them.

@aldrahill said in Slowly house ruling GW36 into a G40/BBR/GW36 hybrid for 2-players:

@gen-manstein Finding this card confusing - so this is to roll for the ability to influence neutrals and turn them to your side?

Why not just do it so that 1-6 = pay bank for loses, 7 = pay 1 extra, 8 = pay 2 extra, 9-10 joins your side, 11-12 = joins your side plus reserves called up.

What are the numbers in the brackets on some of the countries mean?

You get all 3 territories in Saudi Arabia

@cernel I played three games against forum members that made a point to do this as Germany while I was the allies. After the final repetition and significant impact from the aforementioned, I had to insist on Escorts and Interceptors.

I consider it less significant than the USA bomber strategy but I’m confident enough to make it an axiom of my own axis strategy …and share it in a video, obviously.

The escort and interceptor rule is required for a fair game IMHO. Moreover, no bombing strategy succeeded in eliminating a country’s ability to build tanks and weapons during ww2, and certainly not without getting through fighter screens first.

This answered my question krieghund.

@krieghund said in Anniversary Errata Optional Rule: Escorts and Interceptors:

@cernel Since my name was “dropped”, I’ll respond to this.

You are correct. The original question (which @Panther answered correctly) only asked whether or not escort fighters were included in AA fire. Apparently @The_Good_Captain extended that answer to cover how AA fire is conducted incorrectly. Per the rules on page 25 of the Rulebook, when there’s a mix of fighters and bombers involved, each group is rolled for separately.

So your saying the aa gun fires at all planes on a sbr attack. So this is another way of saying with no interception rule ? But I may have missed that rule. Or is it both rules ?
