Opening move discussion (Germany) A+3

@panther @farmboy thank you

@klykke89 I was confused too. The rulebook clearly states that planes can fly over enemy territories as if they were neutral, and that AAA guns can only shoot at planes when the territory the AAA gun is in is being attacked.

However I have seen some house rules that actually allows AAA guns to fire at enemy planes that fly over the territory they are in.

I think that is cool, but I also think that gives the AAA gun much more power and value and that they should cost more than 5 IPC if that is the case.

oh ok

Very good cmdr Jen.

yes @ 6-3

Actually, if Japan invades FIC, it only costs them the $10 NO for peaceful relations with the United States.  It doesn’t bring the US into the war.

All those other things do however.  Also, if any territory in North America gets taken by the Axis, US can declare war.  Basically this means Canadian territories.

So, in your game, the axis spent the first few turns smashing nearby territories like Gibraltar and Egypt while constructing massive fleets and armies, then exploded, conquering two nations and brushing aside the forces of the only power with a hope of putting a stop to their madness?

If that’s what you mean when you say “verry defencely”, then yes, I have played that way before. It works pretty well for me.

Thank you gentlemen… it is as I thought then.

They were not intentionally cheating, I am sure, however, they are still breaking the rules and will have to be penalized accordingly. Which probably means returning their ships to the proper sea zones, removing the infantry and surrendering whatever collected money they had to the bank.

Thanks again.
