Yes I have previously played risk. I thought it was too much of a game of luck so I tried this one.

Thank you. I don’t know maybe I’m just dumb.

So can you fortify a capital separately from a territory? Like, if you put infantry in germany can you put separate infantry or fighters just to fortify the capital?

I recently bought axis and allies 1942. Unfortunately I am confused on some of the rules. Like, what do the defense and attack points mean? From what I have read in the rule book they seem to be irrelevant. Are the defense points like health points?

And also how do you capture/liberate a capital? The rule book makes it seem that this is independent from capturing/liberating a territory. I’ve looked online for these answers and I haven’t been able to find them.
