Hi people
I am just about to start my first global game of A&A.
my first question and I am sure more will follow is.
Do you follow the global rules at the back of the Europe booklet only or also other national objectives and bonuses in the Europe and Pacific manuals
Thanks :-D
Any Global NOs override the individual Europe and Pacific NO’s; the only NOs to use in the global game are those in the back of the Europe rulebook
Welcome, steiner73!
The Global Politics and National Objectives rules completely replace those in the Theatre games (except for the rules on neutral territories on pages 10 & 11 of the Europe rules). The National Objectives from the Theatre game rules should not be used.
(Seems Calvin beat me to it!)
Thanks very much for the reply and advice.
Battles commences on Sunday 2nd at 11.00am.
Wife watching the kids so uninterupted battle time :-D
Which territory is the Capital for Italy. N. Italy has a Major IC but it looks like Rome would actually be in S. Italy which only has a Minor IC.

South Italy contains Rome.
Can you give me a link to the most recent text of alpha plus setupand rules updates?
Question about surface warships starting in hostile sea zones (See top right of page 13 of rulebook).
There is the exception, that you can load units in a hostile sea zone only if you just declared war on that power in that turn - you can still load ground units.
Our question is, can you load units in that zone and go conduct amphibious assault with them elsewhere, and also attack the enemy surface ship(s) in that loading zone all in the same combat move phase?
I’m attacking an American destroyer in Z6 with aircraft and warships, while also loading ground units from Japan for battles elsewhere and my opponent’s understanding of the page 13 rules is that you can’t do both.
I thought the purpose of the rule was to point out that you can’t just stay in the zone without conducting any combat (ignore it), and that you can’t load ground units from that zone (there is the exception for when you just declared war that turn, though).
Who’s right?
It is allowed. The purpose of the rule is to keep a power from blocking the loading of transports by moving ships into the sea zones with them before they are at war.
Krieg.
scenario:
US moves into sz 6 on its non combat move during its turn 3, and it declares war at the end of mobilize units.
I believe this would prevent Japan from loading units on a TR in sz6 the following turn since Japan is already at war from the previous turn.

That is the exact reason that some people want the US DOW to be moved.

I guess that’s an incentive for Japan to not wait until turn 4 to declare war on the US.

Interesting.
I also think there should be a rule change. USA should not be able to noncom next to the Asian coastline, just as it can’t non-com to African or European.
maybe we should also allow the chinese to liberate ALL of the territories included for the burma road bonus.

Define “Asia.” Does that include the DEI? The Philippines? Japan?

So you want china to be able to liberate India?

Shouldn’t every country have the chance to win its own NO?

No. If India’s under Axis control, I don’t think China should have the opportunity to buy artillery (or get the bonus) - the idea of the Burma road NO is the relationship with the more advanced UK, no? No India, no bonus. Also, China is a special case - throughout all of history they’ve never been too interested in affairs outside their borders (or not far beyond their borders - Korea, Burma may be exceptions). Seems awfully unbelievable to me that Chinese forces could enter India in WWII.

I meant Pacific rim of Asian continental landmass, so would include Z6, yes.
I leave it up to others to decide if this includes Phillipines, Carolines, etc, but to me it should include all major Jap power centers. I mean, since they already have the African/European rule in effect, might as well make it more realistic on the other theater as well.
