1. The Turkish Straits are entirely contained within the territory of Constantinople, so moving from Constantinople to Bulgaria does not require crossing the straits. As the straits are contained within a single territory and not at a border between territories, transports are never needed to cross them.
2. It doesn’t matter what the odds are. Fighters may attack a hostile territory as long as at least one infantry also attacks (all of the units end their move in the same territory, so the infantry satisfies the fighters’ land unit requirement). Of course, if there is only one infantry, all of the fighters will have to be taken as casualties before it can be taken (see page 19 of the rulebook).

I have asked twice about how Zombie card “stacking” should work, but I have yet to receive an answer. @smo63, have you heard anything about this issue in your discussions?

@thrasher1 said in Axis & Allies and Zombies Q+A:

let someone from the official AAZ team please tell what is exactly meant by these terms. And if our interpretations are right.

I’m always monitoring these boards, but @Panther does such a great job that I seldom have to post anymore. Also, as @smo63 said, he has a direct line to the designers of this game.

As far as the FAQ is concerned, it is being worked on, but I haven’t been told yet when it can be expected.

I’m not aware of any of the rules being officially translated into either Mandarin or Cantonese. Revised was the most widely-translated version, but that page is long gone from the AH website. As Panther said, BGG is your best bet for a fan-made translation.

Also, the border between sea zones 5 and 6 was corrected to line up with the border between Amur and Korea (also in the 1st edition FAQ).

@The-Lone-Wolf Western Canada should have a Canadian emblem. It’s in the FAQ, also available at Panther’s link above.

Russia needs to have at least one unit in territories shared between it and the Central Powers, in order to indicate this shared status. However, there’s no reason why you need to leave any units in territories that Russia has full control of, other than simply not taking the time to remove them during the game.

@DoManMacgee is correct.

@thrasher1 said in AAZ Rule Question: Desperate Meassures Card: DECOY TEAM:

To quote myself:

“During the turn of the player before you the Zs were victorious in combat (that is: Phase 5). However the Zs do NOT take control of that area as that only happens during Phase 3 of a turn! So during your turn the last country that had units there (or the original owner) still controls that area. While there are Zs now.”

Just to be 100 % sure. This is the case?

Not exactly. They don’t take control immediately if all player units are wiped out during combat, but they will take control in phase 3 of the next player’s turn. As a result, the power controlling the territory before the zombies wiped out all player units will only control it for part of your turn. By the time you do your combat moves, it will be zombie-controlled.

Zs do NOT take control (place a control marker) if they happen to be the only units left in an area after combat (Phase 5).
Was this intended by the game creators?

Yes.

My experience is that new players automatically want to place a control marker there then. Immediatelly after combat (Phase 5). This will have the effect that the Zs might reach the 25 IPC level ‘faster’…

It also gives the controller a chance to noncombat move other units in to retain the territory, as it is still friendly at that time.

@Krieghund

Krieghund, can we rephrase this as:

Move one Z to an adjacent area that is not neutral?

Well, it’s half of the zombies in the territory, but essentially yes.
