Island Nations and Blockade Loophole:

Japan and Great Britain are Island Nations and can not loose IPP to convoy raiding when their island is blocaded.

A blockade is defined in 8.11 is

If you have three or more surface warships in a sea zone, they blockade all enemy naval facilities in that sea zone…

And example of combat movement is blockading.

So the loophole is as follows: Say Britain is blockaded at the start of the german turn. Can Germany:
Move a ship out of that zone in combat movement, thus unblockading GB, raid their convoy lines, and then non-combat move back into the zone to reactivate the blockade? Move a ship out of that zone in combat movement, thus unblockading GB, and then declare a combat move with another ship into the zone, raid their convoy lines, and then resolve the combat move back into the zone to reactivate the blockade?
An obvious answer may be that blocading is a combat move, which causes the blockade to engage in the combat movement phase. But this begs the question: Do you specifically need to declare a combat move to blockade and can the ships involved participate in any other combat movement? I think if you say that blocading is specifically a combat movement action, one would think that if those ships are participating in any other sort of combat, they cant blockade. Would this also mean that a nation would only have too eliminate the blockading fleet (well reduce them to < 3 ships) even if there was another enemy fleet present in that zone (which did something else in its combat move)?

Back to the 80s/90s: An expansion pack for Axis and Allies Classic?

(First, if this is to be preferred to be listed under 'Axis and Allies Classic then please move this topic.)

Dear all,

When I started playing (and enjoying Axis and Allies) in the mid-1990s me and m friends often dreamed about an Expansion Pack for Axis And Allies (the Classic game).

Remember, this was long before Axis and Allies Europe finally came in 1999/2000.

So there you are in the 1980s/1990s. Really enjoying this came but also dreaming and wanting: ‘more’.

I always wondered why MB/Hasbro never came up with an expansion pack. So my questions for you are:

Why you think MB or Hasbro never released such an A&A expanson pack?

What you (realistically) had hoped to see being included in such a package?

For now I will answer the second question. And I really hope many of you will share their ideas and hopes.

What I realistically hoped for was a small expansion pack including:
Artillery for each of the five nations. Probably just a few. Say 5 pieces. Escorts or Destroyers for each nation. Also just a few. Say maybe three or four at most.
And maybe, just maybe some special infantry units for the five nations. The usual suspects so:
US marines UK commandos USSR partisans Japanese special ‘banzai’ forces German SS infantry
I personally think such a rather cheap expansion pack could have been a success in the 1980s or 1990s.
But what do you think? What new units you dreamt of being included in Axis and Allies back then?
