Movement Question Regarding Tournament Rules

@Slip-Capone If you need a player I’ve been dying to get back into axis and allies. If you have triple a I’m available.

@The_Good_Captain

Phew. Thank you for the advice.

@the_good_captain said in Another big question:

@krieghund follow on question that may be answered by the answer to the previous: if France enters Albania on French turn 1, does the territory and its IPC go to France while Italian pieces are activated in Albania?

No. Everything goes to Italy. From the FAQ:

Q. If the capital of a minor power aligned to my power is mobilized by a friendly power, who takes control of the territory?
A. Your power does.

No but you’re close. You can’t move troops and then load them on a transport. You have to wait until next turn to load them onto the transport. You can move a transport, load troops, and then complete your move with the transport and drop off the troops. You can load one troop, move the transport, load another troop, then complete your transport movement, then unload both troops but they have to unload in the same territory. You just can’t move troops to get to a transport or move troops after you unload them.

In the designer’s Tournament rules (which can be found here), any power can collapse, and Russia has no special rules (the Russian Revolution rules are not used).

Yes.

@CWO:

Thanks for the interesting behind-the-scenes description of the playtesting process.

Shame the contract stops him from saying a lot.

I don’t agree with the two space rule change for land units. Land units in World War 1 were not mobile and if you are looking for a game with full mobility the original axis & allies WOII games are a much better choice.

However I do see the potential of limiting the capacity of producing units in India to 5. Playing UK is much harder as you have to keep producing units in India to keep the Ottomans away and also have to build a navy in the west to threat the Germans. The UK simply lacks the IPC to help the Russians in this scenario since a decisive victory against either the Ottomans in the East or against the German navy in the west is very hard to accomplish. In the two games we have played with this rule Russia Revolution has occurred.
