Axis and Allies Classic, 2nd Edition
“Not-so-Obvious” Rules List:

“Stack” restriction – Players are restricted in the number of “stacks” they can create by the number of pieces that came in the original game. “Chipping” remains unrestricted. (Page 7, middle column)

Column Rolling – In ALL combats, dice are rolled by individual column from lowest to highest. Casualties are applied BEFORE rolling the next column’s attack. (Page 18)

During the COMBAT MOVEMENT PHASE, aircraft flying over a territory containing an enemy AA gun are fired upon as they fly over, even if they don’t end movement in that territory. (Page 13, right column)

*Newly purchased naval units are not allowed to be placed in sea zones containing enemy naval units. (Page 21, middle column)

If their original carrier was sunk, defending fighters may ONLY land on an island/island group or carrier in the same sea zone. Failure to do so results in elimination. (Page 15, left column)

Armor MAY “blitz” through a territory containing an AA gun or Industrial Complex. (Rules Clarification, last page, middle column)
a. AA guns still shoot at aircraft flying over their territory even after having been “blitzed” in this fashon. (Page 5, left column “combat is considered simultaneous”)

The Suez Canal can only be utilized if both Anglo-Egypt Sudan and Syria/Iraq are controlled by your side at the BEGINNING of your turn. (axisandallies.org, “the intent was always for the Suez to mimic the Panama Canal rules” -krieghund)

*optional rule on page 31 removes this restriction

@drdachel Welcome to the forum 🙂

A transport can’t be part of a land combat.

During Combat Movement you would need to move naval and/or air units into the transport’s seazone to conduct naval combat there.

I answered this in his general post. It’s from WWIIE2 (World War II Expansion 2).

Hi I used to play a lot on Spring42 about 20 years ago. I was in the top 3 during the era were only Utah/Omaha database and 3rd one was maybe Kremlin (but im sure Sword/Anzio didnt exist). I remember the only players that had a winrate similar to mine was “Brink”. During that time I played against Pbem and I think AA warclub/warzone but these players where much weaker than hasblow/ Spring42 crowd. Most of them tought Spring42 rules were heresy (something I can understand) but with Hasblow we could play like 2 games in one evening (sometimes up to 6am) but playing a lot more game and seeing top players make you learn fast. I don’t think ive played vs a vgood “classic” players in the last 10 years. I play at least 100 games a year during a few years during those time. I think to be high ranking you havd to play at least 50 games on Spring. I also rememebr team tournament but this is so far away lol.

Anyway do these very experienced players still play classic or they all play revised and later ? I would really like to play one real game before confiment is over 🙂

IIrc my handle was blesf.

OK, I have an official answer. It was never Larry’s intention that transports in Classic should be able to load in a hostile sea zone, but the rules as written do not reflect that intention. However, he’s not going to revise an FAQ for a game that’s been around for as long as Classic has and is now out of print for something this minor.

The bottom line is that in Classic, per the rules, you can load transports in a hostile sea zone during combat movement, though this was not intended. This ruling does not apply to any other A&A game besides Classic.
