Blitzing rule interpretation

However, there is a national advantage in Axis and Allies Revised that allows GERMANY to blitz after winning a territory, however, you must kill all enemies present in the first round of combat.  You might want to see if you can incorporate this rule into your classic games and report back on how well it works.  I know I’d be interested.

Even the Panzerblitz NA does not allow for a subsequent combat, only an NCM of ARM that were involved in combat (and even then only if the battle lasts a single round)

At least that is how it is in LHTR 1.3, I have not reviewed 2.0 yet.

But again, that is a Revised rule, not Classic.

And Mattylite, just making sure which version you have…  If you have the Milton Bradley Game Masters game from the 1980’s, you have Classic.  If you have the Avalon Hill version (your game board has numbers in the sea zones) then you have Revised, and would want to look in that topic area for answers to any other questions you may have.

Actually, you can invade another territory.  You don’t have to retreat the armor.  Just the territory after wards has to be empty of enemies.

So you could attack Karelia and then push on to Archangelsk if it was left empty.  I believe.  My rules are still packed up from the moves.

That is incorrect, at least in LHTR 1.3.

It specifies NON-COMBAT movement phase is when you get to move, which means you cannot engage in a new combat (and taking ANY enemy territory is combat).

So you could NOT push on to Archangel, unless Archangel was already allied controlled, and then you could.

( just checked, in LHTR 2.0 it remains the same… you can move 1 space in NON-COMBAT MOVEMENT.)  pp 37-38.

Okay.  I don’t have LHTR in front of me, so I’ll take your word for it.  Maybe in OOB it was allowed, maybe not.  I don’t get to play NA’s often enough. :(

The wording is exactly the same in all 3 versions.

So even with OOB it was for NCM only, not subsequent combat.

Kay, then I stand corrected.  :P

Not a problem!  Just wanted to point you in the right direction for the right game!  :-D

I think it was all clear when he mentioned this :D There are no West-Russia or Belorussia in Classic :P

@mattylite:

Or a not-so-abstract example: Say I’m Germany and I have 10 tanks in Belorussia.  USSR has a couple infantry in West Russia.  On my turn, can I:  1.) send three or so tanks to kill those West Russians
