Convoy Question

exactly thats why i sent my subs to do soem dirty work man the allies on west side = toast round 1 and 2 but then i need to take a chunk out of russia or round 3 im totally dead

add this to house rules maybe? i would if the russians in a group can take germns/hold the line then make germans better blitz capitals shouldnt b blitz though!

I’m probably too late, but I also just purchased A&A Europe and found it was missing pieces.  Go to www.wizards.com and you might have to register first which is free of course, then click on help then search: missing pieces and you’ll see Axis & Allies:Europe missing pieces.  Send them an email and let them know what’s going on and they’ll send you the missing pieces at no charge.

A Russian sub in North Sea would prevent Germany from taking 4 IPCs of the Archangelsk convoy in R1! (And of course never again!)
(If Germany has “bad” rolls in attacking North sea maybe even as compensation to save the UK Battleship on occasion!)
Simoultaneaously it allows:
1. Agressive Russian play in Scandinavian territories (1 Art from the cash advance placed as Art in Karelia; transport can load 2 Inf from Archangelsk in R1) - to take IPCs and annihilate the isolated German troops there as fast as possible - and be back in time to face the main German threat! (More money, more inf-build possible for defending Moscow!)
2. Speed up UK retaking its convoy zones to allow for faster development.

I am curious what Larry will say! ;)

Ahhh, you meant Europe.

See your post in the Player Help board.  :-)

I asked this on the A&A revised forum, but was reminded that that version doesn’t quite work the same way as A&AE works, so hopefully someone here can help me understand this better.

I was always under the impression that, as the defending player, your fighters take no part in a SBR unless the attacker sends his fighters as escorts for his bombers. If that is so, what is the attacker’s incentive to send his fighters along in the first place? It would seem to me that doing so would only serve to put his bombers at risk. We’ve played under this impression since Europe first came out….are we totally missing something?  :?

Rob.

After you submerge your subs, they have to be resurfaced at the end of your turn. Now if there are enemy ships in the zone, on their turn they can either engage or simply move. Kinda of like when you build new naval units. You can place them in an occupied sea zone, then on your opponents turn, He can attack or move away.

Thank you for the clarification!
