Question about transports

So…. Yes… the Submarine gets to shoot at my transport during combat (and i should not have brought the transport along) No… I may not land my troops after the surface warships are cleared, simply because there was a battle in the first place and the sub is still there Yes… I may retreat my dumb transport and fighters

Yea so if you catch an AC out at sea with out a DD you may get the ftrs too if they can’t land within 1 space.

Although I have only played a few games of AA50 a few things seem clear regardless of the scenario: 1. Chinamen vaporize faster than the humans In War of the Worlds…for a 1940 population of 455mil you have a better chance of finding a brontosaurus on the map by turn 3, possibly by turn 2 with the 41 scenario. Perhaps the spawn policy should be changed…maybe 1 for every 2 terr rounded up. 2. He/she who controls the Gaza strip rules the world…the strip between Egypt and India plays a major role in deciding the game. If this is in allied hands the russians can usually hold the Caucases… if not their position is tenuous. conversely, 3. Germans cannot live on a diet of sauerbraten alone… a little linguini and sushi help the digestion (of Russia) If the russian player is good I think it is difficult to do it with Germany alone. Just as russia need to hold out until the allies arrive Germany only needs to hold the front with/without  Italy’s help until you can get double/triple penetration on cau/rus with Japan.  Italy can either support france freeing the huns for eastward movement or shuttle thru Istanbul  Btw, I think closed Dardanelles is for pussies. 4. NOs…I don’t know. The axis NOs are more easily obtained but I certainly like the extra 5 I get in russia for no foreigners as it lets me squeeze an armor in here and there. 5. Pocket change…whenever I have a few extra scheckles I find myself buying subs particularly in a no tech game.  Its like a boxer with a good jab. keeps the Japs out of the Americans face, also good for the Med. 6. Advantage who…are the axis really favored???  I am currently plaing a gencom rules game where axis recieved a bid. Maybe this is to offset the allied VC advantage with an 8 turn / 6 hour limit  an no NOs    I’d like to know peoples thoughts on who is favored and why

Also note that your british fighters dont get to shoot at the german sub at all, as you are not bringing a destroyer along with you.

Regarding Ships. Ships are organized by size/cost. The more the ship costs the bigger the size of the mold/unit is. The two that are hardest to distinguish is the cruiser and destroyer. The destroyer is the cheaper of the two, and therefore also the smaller of the two. If you are confused - just line up one of each type of all the ships somewhere off to the side, so you can see the differences.

Even a lone transport can In AA50, enemy subs and transports can be completely ignored, as long as you don’t engage any of them. (If you attack a sub/transport combo with a fighter and also try to land there amphibiously, the sub can sink your transport.  You can’t pick and choose what to ignore within a single zone)

I still view the Allies with a slight adv b/c of the number of Round 1 attacks the Axis must do, particularly Egy. As for bids, we didn’t use them in our tourney and the Allies are holding their own quite well.  I think they are up a few games thru 23 games.  It might be like 13-10 Allies right now. In the League we do use bids, but that is also used to determine sides.  A lot of times both players may bid 0 and just let sides be chosen at random. I did just post a few stats in the League Forum (thru the first 12 completed) in the discussion thread and the Allies hold a 7 - 5 Adv in wins.  Avg bid was 1.3, but 7 games were played with a 0 bid and 2 were played with a 1 bid.

These answers are correct.
