Basic Questions

@CWO:

@Warhawk77:

Starting to play more and I was wondering do all the box sets have the game pieces in the same scale?

The short answer is “mostly yes”.� The longer answer is a bit more complicated.� From game to game, A&A sculpts have generally been on the same scale when you compare units belonging to the same unit class; in other words, specific sculpt X will generally be the same size no matter which game it comes from.� Within each class, however, scales can vary; for instance, the Yamato and Iowa battleship sculpts are roughly the same size, even though in reality Yamato was much bigger than Iowa.� There’s even more variation between unit classes, the most extreme case being the scale of the infantry sculpts and the scale of the battleship / carrier sculpts.�

There have also been some cases of scale changes for specific units.� The British and German battleship sculpts became larger and more detailed when many of the sculpts were “refreshed” at one point.� The German 88mm sculpt went from being small (and mis-representing field artillery) to being large (and correctly representing an AAA gun), and the same thing happened to the Stuka (which originally mis-represented a fighter rather than a dive bomber).� And note that the ANZAC infantry sculpt is somewhat notorious for being rather large compared with other infantry units.

Reading the reply I see I should have asked the question better. I should not have used the term scale as the pieces are different scales compared to each others but you fully understood what I was trying to say so thank you.

I will point out I had never thought about the different types of planes and guns that the sculpts are until you pointed it out so now I will have to go thru my games and compare them all.  :-D I know I’m helpless and get sidetracked very easy maybe a little ADD on my part, but what else would I do tomorrow?

Thanks Again

They need to get back to the SZ (if on a Carrier) or to a territory. You count each move.

Remember Air units don’t have to go back to from where they came. They can land on any territory you owned at the beginning of your turn or to another Carrier (if there is space).

But keep in mind the following exception:

@rulebook:

If a Japanese industrial complex is built on a Chinese territory
and that territory is later recaptured by the Chinese or liberated
by another Allied power, the industrial complex is removed from the game.

(If you play 1st Ed. it is on page 9.)

@pfc_pander:

… I though you might be able to move your fighter during non-com to the sea zone that the carrier will be built in but wasn’t sure if that’s allowed.

1942 2nd edition and/or anniversary

It is allowed in both games.

Yep. Whatever that country has in their bank is now yours.

A capitol fall is very hard to come back from because of that. The toppled country misses a turn of buying units (no $$$) while at the same time giving the other side the chance to purchase with their normal collection plus the plundered treasure.

Thank you good sir.

That’s true. AA guns can move 1 space. They can even be transported. AA guns can never do a combat move though, they can only be moved around during noncombat. You can have more than one AA gun in a territory but only one AA gun fires during a combat.

If you guys are assuming that a round is roughly three months than almost any unit could be built in real time in that period of time. I have a book on Panzer Tanks and even the most powerful tank could field a full battalion in a little over three months. And when talking battleships, if it was a German pocket Battleship I believe it could be made in three months. You have to remember that most industries in these countries were geared almost completely to the war effort. :D :D
