Facilities should become damaged when captured. Currently, the only loss resulting from capture is downgrading major ICs to minor IC (aside from ICs in China being destroyed). This primarily benefits Germany, which can gain 3 Russian minor ICs, plus 3 bases, at no cost, aside from SBR damage by Axis. I propose that captured minor ICs and bases should receive maximum damage (6 points) each time they are captured, due to battle damage or deliberate demolition by retreating enemy.

Austria mourns the lose of Zeppa. After a distinguished career terrorizing the Entente, burning Paris, London and his favorite target Rome, he pushed his luck one time too far and was shot down by AA fire over Rome. His crew wanted him to wait out the season, so he could join in the land attack against Italy. But that wasn’t his style, preferring to fly solo or with his partner Zepbe. RIP Zeppa.

@witt Of course, you were UK last game.
I hope you try a novel strategy instead of the same old Paris fetish.
The final jeopardy category a day or two ago was “famous ships”. The question was what ship wreck was located in 1989, 48 years after it sank and 96 years after the death of the person that it was named for. 2 contestants chose the Andrea Doria, but the current champion and I knew it was the Bismarck. -

Wow, Sweden is a tough neighborhood. Both neutral defenders hit. Then the Brits weakened me for the Ruskies to take their shot. Less than half of my 16-man army survived the first turn. Good thing I take HGs along with me. Finland bulked up quickly. May have to stay in Sweden for a massage from a blonde beauty and eat some Swedish meatballs.

@colt45554 8 more hits and I received 6. You were down to 2 damaged BB’s, so I took the second DD instead. I just sank your fleet.

Ground troops taking hits instead of planesposted in Axis & Allies Discussion & Older Games
A&A’s revised rules to prevent using transports to take hits instead of combat ships, was a great improvement. But cheap ground troops are still being taken as hits instead of more expensive and powerful planes. In real life, air superiority comes first. Defending fighters intercept attacking bombers, TAC and their escorting fighters, before attacking infantry. Attacking planes try to establish air superiority before attacking ground troops. Changing this may be impractical, because of the imbalance in air forces between opponents. But as a suggestion, use the same protocol as BalMod does for Strategic Bombing Raids. Start land battles with an air battle of 1 or 2 turns, with fighters attacking and defending at 2; and bombers and TAC attacking and defending at 1. Then like SBR, AA fire comes next. Survivors would go on to join in the regular land battle. Perhaps attacking planes might have a limit on how many rounds of dice they could fire.

@shadowhawk If the Japanese tt can’t prevent U.S. tt from moving into sz6, then the U.S. tt also doesn’t prevent Japanese tt from leaving sz6 during combat move. Only a warship would prevent loading.

I calculated the odds in GEAfr at around 31%, assuming my one-on-one attack in N Rhod knocked out a cav defending at 1. Perverse dice, I won the other battle, an inf & LF against a trench, also defending at 1. The trench missed twice, but the UK cav hit on first round. So the UK cav and another behind it could both participate in the GEA battle. Battle calc gave huge change in odds for such a small item. The odds went up to about 45% including a 3rd bombarder, which only fires once. If I had just kept my 2 units in GEAfr, the odds for UK would have dropped noticeably.

Terrible dice where it mattered. Spent 15 on tech, got nothing. Strafed Burg with 18 units and got only 5 hits. That’s the 3rd time I strafed Burg and rolled below low luck, while Fr rolled above expected or rounded up. Attacked Pic with 5 ground and air, and got 0-5, while Fr rolled 2-2. Still jinxed in E. Poland.
Only Brits in Africa gave up without hitting me. So, bring on those Sepoys, Leo. -
