New units

Aircrafts withdraw from battle remaining in the territories where the battle is fought, in this case Norway.
In the non combat move they have to land in the same way you do if you had won the battle. So they may come back to England, land on AC or in any other legal space they can reach.

Or put in other terms,
who cares about those who’s only comments have some lame excuse blaming different ideas and trying to make a bogus illusion of connection of these ideas and players who don’t understand the game over and over again?

3 Tanks and an AA gun defending?

Heck, I’ll give you two German tanks for them.  I can build 8 on round 1, you can build 4 on round 1.  THink I can better afford it then you can.

2 German tanks and 3 inf to make it safe? Or 2 inf 2 arm to attack Ukraine?

You can afford 8 tanks, but you probably don’t want to build that way, because you will quickly run out of cheap inf which can be better defensively spread (because you have more of them) and traded on the frontlines.

@Craig:

Krieghund- Your sooooo smooth!!! :-D :-D

Get a room!  :wink:

Seriously, though, Kreighund is gettin it on with those answers.

Ah, I knew i needed an NA expert on that one :-)

So there is NO exception to the combat territory rule then.  Thank you.

@Jennifer:

Leaving the second BB alone is bad for two reasons:

You gave England a capital warship that can bombard you at will.  That means two bombardments for the price of 1 infantry.  (6 IPC for 3?  That’s a good trade!) England is not out 16 IPC for a carrier to defender herself.

Don’t forget that the Allies don’t have to worry about keeping 1-2 Figs on the carrier giving them even more versatility

Yeah JWWII is right on, you should read the posts from NCS, they have a lot of good insight on how to play well. I learned a lot on how to play Japan just by reading his posts (I always do the 3 trannies build on J1 now  :-) ).

NCS, regarding your US moves, I think you just didn’t stick to your initial decision of attacking Japan with the US. I think you could have done great by pushing harder in the Pacific. The Japan fleet was very weak, and a little US fleet could have easily contested the islands. Just my toughts.

i think this rule is needlessly confusing because it’s not that beneficial or realistic for going through the added hassle of keeping enemy units on the board as prisoners. i also think this topic should be moved to house rules forum.
