How do you edit unit prices and values on PC game??

@burmaboi The rules consistently use the term “into” when referencing the ending space of a unit’s move and “through” when referencing spaces passed through along the way. So, an air unit must conduct combat if it moves “into” an enemy-occupied space, but not “through” one (other than being fired upon by AA guns). Also, on page 14, the rules mention AA guns in “flown over” territories, which indicates that enemy-occupied territories may be moved through, and the Official Rules Clarifications make the same reference on page 2 in point 6 regarding AA guns.

hello there. I find a copy of the 1998 PC Game, and Manual. Look at the game, and revise the compendian doc. Make little corrections.

@Avin:

Yeah, but he’s gotten some pretty good experience, being one of our most active players, since then, and always playing and learning from good opponents. Unlike many people, the refreshing thing about him is that he really learns well from his mistakes rather than being stubborn and sticking to his own preconceptions.

I resemble that remark :-P

I allow for neutrals in 2nd. in fact i give them a few pieces because i dont like the allies just paying 3 dollars and landing a load of me
in Spain just to get a cheap ride into france. Ill post a few more things that make more sence…

Neutrals
Neutral countries are inactive until war is declared on them. Once a country declares war on a neutral, the country may attack and enter the airspace of the neutral country. Only Axis nations and Russia can attack neutrals. However, Russia can only attack bordering neutrals. There is no IP penalty for declarations of war. Place 3 infantry units from the opposing player whose capital is closest to the neutral country. However, Spain or Turkey receive the following units:

5 infantry, 1 artillery, 1 armor, 1 fighter, 1 destroyer, and 1 IC.

The opposing player controls undefeated neutral countries and also receives their IP value. All neutrals have an IP value of one when they are controlled or conquered by a major power, except Spain and Turkey, which have a value of three.

Yeah, well that’s what you get when you face against Russian tanks and artillery. Poor Japs. :(

(though it is impressive when you look at what the Japanese still held after the war was over)

Third edition refers to the CD Rom Game.

The changes to France and China are part of the expansion pack called “1939 World at War” by Xeno Games. In the Varrients forum here there are several discutions on this expansion. The expansion adds a new board which has more territories and adds France and China as independant nations.

I think the 1 defense on the bombers represents the machine gun cockpits on the bombers themselves. Not fighter protection.

A&A is not base awhole lot on combat realism.

A attacking bomber on a defending fighter, they both have an hit value of 4.
I have a hard time picturing this in real life, but thats not a big concern because its just a game.

Artillery based AA guns – ha, brings backs memories :smile:

Of course you still have to factor in limitations at two per side or distribute them equally to both sides at the beginning of the game. Changing units stats and/or adding in new units are the surest way to expand the game into a new field of tactics and dynamics. This frees up a considerable amount of complexity and difficulty of altering the game board itself (too sticky), adding in totally new rule sets (too difficult to learn), or using dinosaurs (too extinct). Interested to learn, if anybody else has variations on different units.
