Wow, thanks for the clarification, it was driving me crazy!

Hi,

I was trying axis and allies online and noticed i could move sea units in combat move phase, even if these units weren’t attacking. I looked at manual and said “you may move as many of your units into as many hostile territories and sea zones as you wish”. Does it mean I can move ,say, a battleship into a sea zone in combat move phase even if no combat occurs (i.e., sea zone is empty)?

Related question: can I then move transports with cargo in combat move phase? (I was under the impression that if I was going to conduct an amphibious assault yes, but If it was a normal offload this should be conducted on non-combat movement phase)

Yes, thanks, I knew about LHTR but didn’t look at it yet. I was trying to game OOB.

But after a quick glance at LHTR I changed of idea. This variant rules clarifies A LOT of situations and doubts I had.

Seems that (correct me if I am wrong) under OOB rules planes attack and move on move combat phase (and thus can be attacked by AA on their way back).

Under LHTR, planes complete moves on non-combat movement phase and cannot be attacked by AA.

Is that alright?

Thanks again…

So, air units finish their moves in the non-combat phase? Didn’t notice that. I thought they did the attack and movement in the combat phase if they were attacking.

Hi all,

I have just bought the game and read the instructions. No game has been played yet because I had many doubts…most of them have been solved in this great forum.

I still have one (is more a request for confirmation than a doubt, but)…regarding air units. If I choose to attack a land unit with, say, a bomber, do I have to include the regions after the attack that I need to go through to land in the total range of the bomber? I.e. bombers have range 6. Suppose I attack a region 3 spaces away. The bomber moves, attacks, survives any AA or land attack, and then comes back to its original base. Total move: 6. Is this correct?

Another one: air units ignore hostile forces on territories. Including other air units? Suppose the example above but let’s say in territory #2 enemy has a couple of fighters. Can my bomber just go through unharmed? Does it have to stop and fight the airplanes?

Thanks.

Santiago, very noob general.
