Another situation, SZ 113 and those Islands there Germany could build a 2nd AB and place them there for a scramble,and Infantry….This is why I think a Global rule book is in need. I stopped playing OOB rules until recently, getting myself familiar for Young grasshoppers tournament. When I first started playing OOB earlier this year…I was making tons of mistakes. At times I clearly understood why I stopped playing OOB…there are a ton of frustrating situations that develop with the OOB rules. There are also a ton of situations that I don’t like. The best solution I came up with is simplicity.
As in this case the Italians clearly hold the territory. Germans may move into Italian territories. Simple…end it right there. My 2 cents worth on rules that are gray in explanation.

Does make me wonder how this would be resolved at Young Grasshoppers tournament….Situations like this with so many games are bound to occur

I am not spewing anything….quite clear to me it is an Italian territory now…I totally disagree with your stance as that also comes from the Pacific rule book making it irrelevant…the fighting on the European side is quite different…I interpret that to apply at the least to the Japanese. In my game that would be allowed. Baffles me that a control marker would not be sufficient to explain who owns that territory…My opinion is you are wrong on this one GHG… I don’t say this in a confrontational tone…I say this as my opinion that I stand by…If you were playing just Europe…then what?..So that rule from Pacific becomes insignificant

It is neutral though. Not at war with Russia yet. My opinion on that…just logic
Kinda like Finland in Global War 36…an attack by the Russians on a Finnish territory with German occupants is not a deceleration of war on Germany but the German troops can defend.

SZ 125 would not be effected and Russia would collect their bonus…German sub is neutral to the Russians

It blows my mind that people can’t interpret that….it is so clear…situation like this I would stand my ground…I am pretty flexible in most cases…but stuff like this…nope

GHG, it is not controlled by the Soviets…How clear is that…It is Italian controlled

RE: RULE CLARIFICATION: Italy DOWs Moves to E. Poland - Germany Moves Doesn't DOW
It will have an Italian control marker….so it is Italian territory ShadowHawk

RE: RULE CLARIFICATION: Italy DOWs Moves to E. Poland - Germany Moves Doesn't DOW
How do you figure that shadow hawk? I totally disagree with you
Now question to all…situations like this how do youse resolve it during a game?

Yes you can, that territory is an axis territory under the control of the Italians. If that were the case on G1 you can’t land a fighter in Northern Italy… It’s pretty simple to me…why overthink stuff…easy enough yes the German player may fortify

RE: Looking for miniatures for Axis and Allies Boardgame
I bought my F6F and A6M’s from there and they are a tad smaller but in my opinion perfect

RE: Looking for miniatures for Axis and Allies Boardgame
I bought all my planes in 1/600 scale from tumbling dice uk. The fighters are smaller than OOB in that scale but once you go to Strategic bombers they can get big. I have B-29 G5N and JU 290 that are pretty big but with flight stands they are not an issue.

RE: Las Vegas
Any players interested in playing a game on the weekend of Aug 18th through Aug 20th that live in or close to Las Vegas? I am hosting the game at my house

RE: Picoarmor Aircraft
1/600 fighters and Tac bombers are much smaller, medium bombers are about OOB size strat bombers are larger an example, TD spitfires are half the size of OOB, hawker hurricanes 3/4 the size of the OOB spitsfires

RE: Picoarmor Aircraft
I like tumbling dice better from the UK…I do have a few models from pico…they are nice as well…my JU 52’s are from pico…loved that model

Map makers
Are there folks here who enjoy making maps? I have a couple of ideas but do not have the technical ability to make maps. My first map I want to create is a
4’ x 8’ map that combines AA G 40 and HBG G 36 conceptsI also want to make a 3’ x 6’ map of the South East Asia campaign from India out to the Philippines, from Sumatra up to Shanghai for a theater war map

RE: THE DREADNOUGHT
Dreadnoughts quickly became obsolete…. by 1935 they were being refitted into Battleships with modifications all over the ship making them unrecognizable from their original versions

RE: THE OBSOLETE TANK
my math says 1 Inf + 1 Artillery=7 ipc’s for CV of 4, 1 Mech + 1 Artillery=8 ipc’s for CV of 4, 1 tank =6 ipc’s for CV of 3 so for CV 24 you need 4 tanks at 24 ipc’s vs 28 ipc’s for Inf / Arty combo or 32 ipc’s for Mech / arty combo and this doesn’t even include unit placement allotments in a complex.
A minor = 3 tanks at 18 ipc’s for CV of 9 or 2 arty and 1 inf for 11 ipc’s for a CV of 6…roughly 70% to 30% chance armor wins
