Thanks Frimmel.

Thanks Frimmel.

I have a few questions on naval bases.  For your ships to move 3 spaces, do you have to move from 1 friendly naval base to another friendly naval base?  Can you move from base to base to do combat, not just non-combat?  To control a naval base, do you have to control the land territory or in some spaces just the convoy route?  Thanks.

I have a few questions on CAP.  Can a Fighter go on CAP from an Aircraft Carrier?  If so, can a Fighter fly from a Carrier in SZ18 to SZ17 to Patrol?  Do they have 1 movement space?  Thanks.

Thanks SS.

I just purchased A&A Pacific and I had a few questions regarding the pieces.  I just wanted to know if Japan is supposed to have only 8 tanks?  Should there be more Infantry than Marines?..because I have 25 dark green and 12 light green.  I counted 305 pieces between Japan, China, U.K. & U.S. and 24 IC’s & AAguns and 6 Task Force Markers = 335 Total.  Is this correct?

@newpaintbrush:

Out of the box rules, page 19.  If you declare an amphibious assault in the combat move phase, you can change your mind about offloading in the conduct combat phase.

So in answer to your second question, “2) Can the attacker change his/her mind and not follow through with the amphibious assault land battle after winning the naval battle?”  the answer is yes.

Gr, people that use LHTR as standard, and pretend people don’t play OOB . . . die!

Newpaintbrush, does this rule apply to Europe and Pacific?

Thanks SS.  :-)

I have a couple questions concerning Fighters and Aircraft Carriers. 
Can I land my fighter on my aircraft carrier that is in a convoy sea zone if it was hostile at the start of my turn?

What is the rule for placing new fighters on new aircraft carriers?  And placing fighters or allied fighters on new aircraft carriers?  And can you place more than one fighter on the carrier if possible?

As far as I know you cannot place new fighters on carriers that were already in the sea zone, they must be placed on land just like in the Revised version.

Thanks.

Thanks again SS.  :-)

@AJ:

Why exactly would you not want to use Battleship Bombardment?
With an amphibious assault it’s not like you could strafe anyway.

I don’t think I could use shore bombardment if my battleship or destroyer were already in naval combat prior to the amphibious assault.

Thank you SS.

I have a couple of questions regarding the amphibious assault in A&A Revised.

1. Can the attacker hold back a battleship or destroyer(researched) from the naval battle to support in the land battle with their one-shot support attack?

2. Can the attacker change his/her mind and not follow through with the amphibious assault land battle after winning the naval battle?

Thanks.

Can an attacking submarine immediately submerge before combat begins considering there is no enemy destroyer like in A&A Europe?
To prevent opposing transport from loading/offloading.

I’m probably too late, but I also just purchased A&A Europe and found it was missing pieces.  Go to www.wizards.com and you might have to register first which is free of course, then click on help then search: missing pieces and you’ll see Axis & Allies:Europe missing pieces.  Send them an email and let them know what’s going on and they’ll send you the missing pieces at no charge.

Thank you for your help everyone.  :-)

I was just curious to know if anyone has painted or know someone who has painted their playing pieces for A&A Revised, Europe, Pacific, etc.  I just think it would be more enjoyable to the eyes to see planes, tanks and ships with their own countries colors.  Any pics please?

I have always thought the pieces for each country should be a little different, like for e.g., Germany having a Panther and a Tiger and instead of having  the same infantry pose and color of uniform, change it up for each country.  One crouching, one throwing a grenade or one with a pistol.  Having the mustang in addition to the P38(not the prettiest looking plane by the way).  All in detailed color…but I know, I know.  Cha-ching!  Money…the price of the game would have to go up, not as many buyers. Still, that would be real cool.  :-D
