Transort Question

In all current forms of the game since AA Anniversary edition, subs (and transports) can not and do not ever block movement.  So if in your example you can attack a stack of subs with a stack of destroyers and other units are free to proceed through to another seazone, even though there will be combat in that seazone (destroyer on sub).

So if the territories in are the same in both games, so the National advantages rules can be applied to the Spring '42 version? You think theses rules can be applied and make the game equal for every country in the Spring 42 version?

And can we play with the technology rule too?

If they dont put the NA in spring 42, there must be a reason, no?

idk_iam_swiss, please try to setup the AA1942 board and play it as is, you will see by round 3 there is not enough space in Europe for all your units.  I meant small to mean that the actual territories (map size) are too small to place all your units, look at the size of the bombers alone.  I’m pretty sure that’s why IL made the map.  I could be wrong.  But the few times our group has played it that and running out of Japanese armor was our biggest gripe.  We ended up using German armor as Japanese with a flag underneath it.  Come on 8 Japanse armor?  What was WotC/AH thinking?

@idk_iam_swiss:

Its not “too small” for a begginer, Save your money. If you find out you like this game. I recomend getting the one coming out this december. Its going to be part of a two part series and youll find the map (just pacific) is larger than your current one. The two together will more than likely take up your ENTIRE kitchen table.

Yeah, try “Strategy Games”.  That’s where I got mine.  (1683 Bayview Ave., 416-486-3395)

The biggest thing is that submerging occurs after BOTH sides have fired.

You can;t charge in with subs, fire sneak attacks, and then submerge to avoid a counter-attack by any surviving defenders.  The defenders get to fire back, then before anyone fires again, both attacking and defending subs can choose to submerge (leaving the battle)

the maximum out put of any Ic that you did not start with is limited to the teretorys IPC value

Agreed. The attack had better be supported well enough to avoid that scenario…

Just to clarify the naval/land situation…

Land units cannot attack naval units at all.
Naval units can ONLY attack when its considered an “amphibious assault”, and even then, its ONLY the battleships that may attack with just ONE shot for every battleship taking place in the assault.
An amphibious assault takes place by having one of your transports carry at least one land unit to the desired territory along with any battleships you’d like to take part in the assault.

Way to say it, MD!
