What is the exact unit placement and setup for America in A&A 2nd edition, my friend lost the card for America and we want to play right now, so it would help out, thanks
haha, just bought Anniversary. get this, im taking the pieces out of the cases and getting things in their trays ready for gameday this weekend and I turn around and my dog is chomping on the edge of the cover box!!! 100 bucks and the corner of one box is ripped off. what a bummer. (though at least she wasnt munching on the board!)
anywho, im going to get revised this weekend as well. found a cool shop that has all the versions and im going to pick one up each week until I have the complete set!
I like two fleets (over the course of time).
The first will be the UK fleet which eventually gets moved to sz 6 then to sz 5. I usually have about 4-5 UK trns.
The second would be the US fleet which gets stationed at sz 12. I only need 4-5 trns for the US.
The UK fleet/troops threaten all of Northern Europe, while the US fleet protects Afr for later Japanese landings as well as maintain a threat on SE (even if it is only a bluff).
As the game goes on the US can gradually add more trans and shift troops to Europe or perhaps even create a third fleet and move the one from Sz 12 to Sz 14. Now you can really threaten SE or even Cauc if Russia needs help.
The UK’s job is to get a nice stack in Kar where you can pick off the Germans and/or help reinforce Moscow.
I like to box Germany in then turn the 3 Allies against Japan.
It can be extremely difficult and costly to actually take Berlin using a 1-2 type punch, so I just eliminate them as a threat to Moscow then make sure I can control Japan. After that time is on the Allies side and it doesn’t matter to me if the game goes 10, 15, 25, or 30 rounds because each round that goes by I’m getting more units on the board.
Heres what the Larry Harris Tournament Rules state on fighters and Aircraft carriers
Newly built fighters can be placed into
territories containing an industrial complex
controlled by your power from the start of
your turn, or they may be placed on an
aircraft carrier owned by your power in a
seazone adjacent to a territory with such an
industrial complex. The aircraft carrier may
be an existing one or it may be a newly built
carrier. You may not place a new fighter on a
carrier owned by a friendly
Exception to normal fighter landing spaces
rules: Your fighter may also end its move in a
sea zone adjacent to an industrial complex you
own if you have purchased an aircraft carrier
that turn and will subsequently place that
carrier in the seazone where your fighter ends
its turn.

@P@nther:
@steve400:
So in my scenario the defending sub can submerge and avoid taking the hit ???
No. The decision to submerge is made in the “Press Attack or Retreat Step”.
This is before rolling the dice again.
Ah! Enlightenment. Many thanks
Yes. Air attacks (other than SBRs) work in the same way as any other attack. The attack continues until one side or the other (or both) is destroyed, or the attacker retreats (or the defender submerges if it’s a sub).
@trihero:
Are you seroiusly considering building enough bombers to do ~24 IPC damage to Russia from both Germany/Japan? 8-)
Actually no. Was trying to figure out if, for example, Germany could bomb Caucuses for 1-4, and Japan follow up also bombing it (since Japan will be able to reach Caucuses for SBR before it can reach Russia).
Did not want to waste either starting bomber if the max that could be done in Caucuses was 4 for the whole turn.
