US starting setup - Infantry piece missing?

@superbattleshipyamato123 Try reading the FAQ for more about how to properly play '41. There’s more to it than infantry in China and more money for the US.

@HansOop:

I think I know the answer to my own question and the answer is I have no option but to engage in dice battle and to either keep battling or retreat back to where I came from.

Right, the purpose of the Combat Move Phase is to move into hostile territories to either initiate combat (against hostile units) or just capture the territory (in case there are no enemy combat units present).

Welcome to the forum  :-)

Thanks! Just trying to make A&A.org the best they can be.

Thanks for the responses guys.  NIce to know the pieces are interchangable between games.  I have played another game since and we all seemed to make lots of mistakes.  An experienced player would smash a new person at this game.

smanifesto I will probably do exactly as you have done and get a pieces from other games.  It was getting frustrating having to constantly look for new units and swap chips around.  I’m also with you on customizing the game a bit.  We already have a house rule that battleships have to return to a factory to be repaired at the start of your next turn when damaged.

I have played a few games with the added units for the allies and still find it very hard for the allies to win.
Our group added one more soviet infantry in Soviet far east and moved one of the infantry in Siberia to Urals.

Our version of the Non-Aggression pact was changed to:
The USSR may attack Japan only if Germany has been reduced to holding territories worth a combined 5 IPCs or less.
Japan may attack the USSR only if the USSR has been reduced to holding territories worth a combined 4 IPCs or less.

that does mean giving up moscow in a very near future. those 3 inf and tank are vital.
for the rest; i agree. it seems game is made to go KJF almost every time :(

Yup, I just noted it in the article and on all the places where the photos are uploaded.

We looked for that rule and could not find it. As far as I can tell if you want 4 subs in 4 territories you can if you want. It only came up once during the purchase phase but by the end of the turn, it all worked out okay.
