@Krieghund said in AAZ 1942 (second edition) : rules question (inspired by 'Broken, Busted, or Both'):

There is still combat.

Yes. I agree on this.

Still I think this is a bit against the spirit (thematically speaking) of the rules…

@taamvan

Take out the Japanese AP that’s in range of India with the CA and or the Fighter, so you can bring 2 men to Egypt, but build 2 tanks in India to eventually replace them, bring up the infantry on the right side of Afrika. ( not left).

You could build in South Afrika ( not my choice, but its usually out of range of German Bombers…
