Agreed. That’s how I always play it.

@krieghund

Thank you so much?

@the_good_captain Yes. From page 16 of the Rulebook:

During this step, Axis land units move and patrolling Allied fighters react. Each fighter in a region rolls to strafe each Axis unit moving into or out of that zone, including reinforcements. The Axis player indicates all units that are moving, then the Allies fire one at a time against target units.

@general-6-stars said in Bombers and artillery:

Be nice if it was reworded fs bomber before and art shots.

I don’t quite understand this statement. The cards could not be more clear:
Card 04 - Antiaircraft Fire Fighters
Card 05 - Bombers Strike
Card 06 - Antiaircraft Fire Bombers

D-Day has got to be the most simple rules to play of all the Axis and Allies versions. All you have to do is follow the cards in sequence; you barely have to read the rules.

I just changed values on the battle board. Setup changes I’ll look for
and post. Keep in mind there for d8.

@scottbrooks The first thing you need to do is forget everything you know about 1941. This is a completely different game, with mostly different rules. Looking at it through the lens of 1941 is just going to be confusing (as you’ve already discovered). Approach learning this game as though it didn’t have “Axis & Allies” in the title, with no preconceptions, and you’ll have an easier time.

The order cards are nothing but a framework for walking the players through the game turn, sort of like a player aid. They simply remind you of the phases of the turn, and what you can do in each of them.

Having a look at the FAQ may also be helpful.

I hope this helps…

Yes, they do.  Also, note the starting Allied paratroopers in a few of the zones.
