Wanted to Buy A&A50 as new as possible! :)

Playing again this weekend.  I’ll take some pictures of the board setup.  I have downloaded and printed a 39"x119" double map from Imperious Leaders map selection.  It’s frickin’ huge.

Will this work? (Of course it will need to be resized.)

Note: AA50 uses the Iranian Roundel (Green, White, then Red) instead of the Actual Italian Roundel (Red, White, then Green)
Technically both are incorrect as far as WWII history is concerned, but if you use the image I posted you will match the roundel AA50 uses.

Just picked up my copy within 30 miles of home for $100! I’m stoked! Gnasape is right, check around the neighborhood first.

you actually shouldn’t complain about that price when comparing what you have to pay many places in europe, where you can easily pay more that 120 euros

I’m not complaining at all. I was very happy to find it at this price as I too didn’t want to spend $250 bucks on ebay…

No, it can’t.  Just passing through the Philippines sea zone counts as two movements (one in, one out), since the fighter doesn’t actually enter the island territory.  However, attacking the Philippines territory would cost two extra movements: one to enter the Philippines from the sea zone and another to exit the Philippines back into the sea zone.

Your example would look like this:

1. Japan to sea zone 62.
2. Sea zone 62 to sea zone 60.
3. Sea zone 60 to sea zone 50.
4. Sea zone 50 to Philippine Islands.
5. Philippine Islands to sea zone 50.
6. Sea zone 50 to sea zone 49 (carrier).

As you can see, a standard fighter would be out of movement at the Philippines, with nowhere to land, making this an illegal move.

However, if the same fighter took off from a carrier in the Japan sea zone, it could attack the Philippines and land on a carrier (perhaps the same one) in the Philippines sea zone:

Sea zone 62 (carrier) to sea zone 60.
Sea zone 60 to sea zone 50.
Sea zone 50 to Philippine Islands.
Philippine Islands to sea zone 50 (carrier).

Each time a plane crosses a boundary between spaces (whether between land or sea or both), it uses one movement point.

Where do you live? If you are in/near Holland, you can try www.spellenenzo.nl, they sell it for 25 euro cheaper.
