China
I think British pieces can enter China… but can China and British pieces share the same territory eg Burma or Yunnan, for mutual defence?

RE: [Global 1940] HELP PLEASE Axis and Allies Global Impasse
Im not blitzing through a territory with infrastructure, but I am entering a territory with infrastructure as part of my non contact move. Lots of gamers agree variations on their understanding of particular rules?

RE: [Global 1940] HELP PLEASE Axis and Allies Global Impasse
Thanks for your unambiguous and clear reply.
Its a little more complicated. My son and I agreed some time ago that a non combat movement can take the form of an advance into empty enemy territory (the IPC value of the territory being a bonus) as long as the advancing piece was not involved during the Combat phase. There are several precedents in our game of this manoevre taking place. The sticking point is whether the presence of a factory makes this move illegal. I argue that its just a building!

[Global 1940] HELP PLEASE Axis and Allies Global Impasse
My son and I are locked into a game of Axis and Allies Global. About 12 hours of gameplay so far.
We need a question answering before we can continue.In the Non Combat Movement phase, can a tank (which did not move or take any part in, the earlier Combat phase), now move two spaces to capture a nearby zone containing nothing but an enemy factory (thereby owning the factory and adding the IPC zone value to its income?)
Bear in mind the zone which the single tank is passing through, was captured and cleared in the Combat phase AND the the destination zone (the one with the Factory in it) was cleared by planes in the Conduct Combat phase? -

@WindowWasher
Apologies WW. Im probably splitting hairs but Japan could still attack India on its secong go IF she declares war the moment she does an amphibious landing? The presence of British ships does not prevent an amphibious landing from taking place. The grey area is can the Jap fleet sail by/through blocking ships to get into such a position?Im timing the declaration of war as the moment Japan fires her first shot in the amphibious landing. Can she do this? It seems reasonable.
The odds may be stacked against Japan in terms of ground forces but isnt an India assault in R2 still feasible?

Its as much about understanding what your enemy is capable of…
Ps I actually paid my Window Washer today for the first time in three months

Ok. Im not misunderstanding the rules then. Thanks for your patience.

RE: Need a little help the game is preditable
Would you agree that Japan CAN be in Sea Zone 39 with its entire fleet by the end of Round 2?
Japan is NOT declaring war so it can sail right by blocking ships and can sit inside 39 whether British ships are there or not? Japan hasnt fired a shot or said an angry word? -

@barnee
Ahh but if Japan is not at war with UK …Blocking ships do not work at all. Japan can put 16 ships into sea zone 39 in Round 2 if she buys a sea base in Hainan. There could be as many as 23 planes in a position to attack India if Japan occupies Yunan or Shan State after Round 1 or 2 which is perfectly feasible. I think this kind of aggression would be decisive in most games. -

@WindowWasher
Hi WWThe more I study the initial set up the more alarmed I become. Isnt it true that if Japan sends all its fleet and airplanes south… and builds a sea base in Hainan at the end of its first go, she can attack India on its second turn?
British warships might stall the Japanese fleet by declaring war, but their suicide would only briefly stall the Jap advance? -
RE: Need a little help the game is preditable
@freh
Im writing from the point of view where just two people are playing. One Axis player and one Allied.As an experienced player of over 25 years its clear that the Japanese can run rampant in SE Asia as the game stands, at set up. India is there for the taking and once its factory starts to produce this will seriously aid the German assault on Russia or they might advance towards Africa. I just see the inevitability of the outcome.
Some sort of Allied adjustment/initial bonus is required and Im trying to decide a fair cash figure or other compromise. Im proposing an IPC bonus of 30 that can be spent by any Allied nation or nations on their first go. Is that fair/reasonable?

RE: Need a little help the game is preditable
@freh
Why would a single axis player try a different approach when one known approach practically guarentees a quick win? The only reason I can think of is to avoid killing off our glorious game so quickly. -
RE: Need a little help the game is preditable
@akreider2
Your the third person to confirm my initial impression. The game is overwhelmingly in favour of an axis win, especially if the axis player is aggressive which really is the norm. Im going suggest an initial cash input to allies of 30 IPCs which they can spend on first go. (Any nation or nations). (But not on factories first go). I know exactly where all this should be invested. -
A &A players in England
Any Players in the Manchester, England area?
Especially Global 1940. I need a Game buddy. -
RE: Need a little help the game is preditable
@Warhawk77
Im very surprised at your view. Having studied the board at the outset - ready for the start of my first game … I can only see an Axis victory. Especially if certain tactics are followed. -
RE: 1940 Global question
@Axisarmpit Your view suprises me… but Ive never played this version before. At first glance Allies have good income and China looks like a solid pain in the neck for Japan.
Ive a couple more questions.
-
Where can China place her reinforcements? Im sure I read… anywhere. Does that mean if she gets 7 infantry straight off they can all go into any single Chinese territory?
-
Can Russian units share the same territory as Chinese? Or are they mutually exclusive? ie they cant defend together.
-
Same question for Brits and Chinese.
-
Can Allied planes land in Chinese territory?
-
In Kamikaze attacks… If I target a US carrier with two US planes on board and I score 2 hits… Do the US fighters go down as cargo? Maybe they can fly off if there was a safe place to land?
