Can remaining transports in a sea battle retreat AFTER all their escorts have perished in the seas battle? Or are they sunk?

Scenario: America comes to Gibraltar with 2 Cruiser, 3 Destroyers and 5 loaded transports. The Axis have 2 Cruisers, 1 Destroyer and 2 subs. The Axis get lucky and sink ALL the Allied war ships. The Axis has 1 Cruiser left.

Questions…

1 - Can the transports retreat at this point or are they sunk?

2 - If they can retreat, don’t they have to have a Warship with them?

3 - Where in the rule book is either of these stated? I can’t seem to find it.

Thanks,

@panther Thanks. That’s what we thought and played.

I know it’s not allowed in Global, and I couldn’t find it in the 1942 rulebook…

Can you build factories on islands other than Japan and Great Britain??

Thanks in advance.

Our next game day is Day After Turkey Day! Friday November 26th, 2021. 9am until End!

Mark it down. We would like to have the following games played.

1 - Axis and Allies Global 1940 or 1942. (6 players MAX)

2 - WarRoom (6 players MAX)

3 - Axis and Allies Anniversary Edition Double Blind!! This is a BIG game (no longer than other games though). (7 people MAX). You need 3 on each side to play this game. Italy is a LOT of fun in this game. 1 person will be the Referee (This person is in place already).

4 - I’d like to set up a space if someone wanted to play something different. 1914 or Memoir '44 or possibly a 2nd A&A Global game. This will be setup in a separate space in my office.

That is the limit. 25 players is the CUT OFF.

Please email me if interested: DocFav@GMail.com

@vodot I’ve actually used a couple of your files. SOme I’ve taken and reworked and made them for my game. Thanks again. Docfav

@myaddress2020 No worries. We’re in North Haven. Right near New Haven. I’ll send you a DM.

@myaddress2020 We play in Southern CT. Guys from Long Island always come and play. Having a game day this weekend. DM me for more info.

@midnight_reaper I have damage dials that I put underneath factories, naval yards and airfields to show how much damage. The lego flames I also use for damaged ships as well.

As for the color, it’s whatever filament I choose. That was shiny bronze. Camera doesn’t do them justice.

Here is a finished pic of all the sculpts. I added a Convoy Marker as well.

@midnight_reaper Yes sir. That is correct.

I’ve searched all over the web looking for some good files to 3D print with my Ender 3. There are some beautiful sculpts out there. Unfortunately, most them won’t print on the Ender 3 or other low end filament printers. They are really designed for resin type printers. With that being said, I took it upon myself to learn TinkerCad and came up with some sculpts that can be easily printed on the Ender 3 or similar printers. I’ve posted them up on Thingiverse for anyone to have. I’ve bought a Bronze Filament and and using that for all these sculpts. Got that idea from GIJoe’s video on his custom pieces. Let me know what you think. Here is the link and some pics. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4717543

I like this. Very simple. Very elegant. I’m going to have to borrow this for our next game. I’m going to make 8 Blue Allied Victory Tokens, 8 red Axis Victory Tokens and 1 Gold Victory Token.

No one gets snuffed. Double Deck (2 of every tech). Let’s say the order is Germany, USSR, Japan, US, UK, Italy, Anzac.

Germany would select 6 techs.
USSR would then select 6 techs.
If Germany and USSR selected the SAME techs, No other country would be allowed to have them as they are gone.
Japan would select 6 other techs.
And so on…

You still must buy a tech roll to try and get one. This just avoids the USSR getting Super Subs for some odd reason.

You choose what you want. We’ve used this for our Anniversary Edition Double Blind game with great enjoyment.

Just makes the game a little less stale. That is all.

Thanks,
Brian

Correct. If the techs are gone, they don’t get them.

We’re going to be testing out Targeted Technologies this coming weekend for Global 1940 game. We have a Double Deck of Tech cards. Countries cannot pick 2 of the same tech. Attached are the Tech cards. TargetedTechnologiesv2.pdf
Basic Rules are…

1. Countries will roll a 20-sided die to see who picks tech first. Germany, USSR, Japan, US, and UK will roll. (If everyone agrees, Germany was most technological and should go first).
2. Highest to lowest chooses 6 technologies they would like.
3. Italy will pick 6th and ANZAC will pick 7th.
4. China and France do not pick tech.
5. Technology rules from the rulebook then apply.
6. OPTIONAL RULE: Once technologies are chosen, everyone roles a 6-sided die and gets that tech. They then choose one more random, face down card to make 6 again.

Here are our updated rules. Added some new pieces and changed a few Enhancements. TheBunkerRulesV3.pdf

@sweetchops27 I like your COMMONWEALTH AT WAR one for Anzac. May use that.

You guys can’t be showing of tables like that. My heart is sinking that I don’t have the room for one!

@doomer1940 @sweetchops27 Yes. I like these. Would love to see the others.

@sweetchops27 I’m going to write it up on our sheet like this.

U-BOAT ACES - The captains and crews of Germany’s submarine fleet were the most experienced in the world. Shortly into the war small flotillas of U-boats were turning the merchant fleets of the Atlantic into submerged steel coffins and the Atlantic was their graveyard.

1. If a German submarine survives a combat or conducts a SUCCESSFUL convoy, it is then designated a U-Boat Ace. (One submarine per turn may be “promoted”)
2. Those submarines then hit on a 3 on their first round of combat. This may be improved with “Super Subs”

@sweetchops27 I love the U-Boat Aces. I think I want to expand on that a bit. Hmmm.

We’re trying to come up with something better for Germany. Something that’s not going to break the game. Has to have some sort of disadvantage as well.

We’ve been playing with our house rules and they seem to be working OK. We’ve added some more stuff to it as well. Some I’ve taken from other posts here and tweaked. Some from our Double Blind game. Let me know what you think. TheBunkerRules.pdf

@GEN-MANSTEIN That makes some sense too. We’re going to have to try it. We’re trying as above on Sunday. See how it works out. Keeping your input for next time.

Came up with new US enhancer.

Atlanta Class Cruisers

While US is at War, any sea zone with a US Atlanta Class Cruiser is treated exactly as if it contained an antiaircraft gun. There is a round of AA fire before battle even if the US fleet is attacking (see AA gun rules). These cruisers cannot do shore bombardments in any battle.

Atlanta class was composed of eight dual 5-inch/38 caliber gun mounts (8 × 2 5-inch guns). This battery could fire over 17,600 pounds (8,000 kg) of shells per minute, including the radar-fuzed “VT” anti-aircraft (AA) shells. The Atlanta Class Cruiser did not fare well in Surface Combat. It had a shortage of gunfire directors for the main 5 inch gun battery.

You can purchase 1 of 2 types of Cruisers. Regular or Atlanta class. Same cost. Still hit/defend at 3. I have 2 different pieces for the US cruisers. You may replace half of game setup (1942 setup) cruisers with Atlanta Cruisers.
