Hello, we have been playing for just a short while, but have found it very hard to recover if Moscow falls (for the allies of course). Is it possible to recover? Or is it end game?

Can you explain the mechanics on this? I dont understand how this could happen in turn one?

@Chompers#2:

I played the allies today and my opponent used his transport to get five inf into India on turn one and he landed one British fighter and one Russian fighter.  He used his cruiser to auto kill the Japanese transport in range then purchased an IC in India turn one.  It is pretty much impossible for Japan to take that back next turn.  After that he was able to build tanks in India to mess with Japan and stop them from being a factor against Russia.

He seeded Africa to Germany but he also killed my battleship and transport near Africa on round 2 by purchasing a russian sub turn one and then attacking my battle ship with the Russian sub and two Russian fighters.  He is able to then use the sub as the first troop to be removed that the battleship most likely kills and the fighters finish off the battleship and transport.

How would you guys counter the Indian IC on turn one to make Japan effective in helping against Russia.  At the end of the game when I attacked Moscow my attack fell short and I was defeated.  I brought 31 tanks 10 Inf and 1 bomber but there were just too many inf and fighters in Moscow by that point.  Any advice would be appreciated.

Just wondering: I didnt think you could put troops on a ship and off load on same turn? Or am I misunderstanding? Or is this a new rule, I have the 2007 version with no cruisers

@Derek77:

As far as Germany turn one is concerned, I think a lot of players use the battleship to kill the med destroyer and land 2 units in Egypt with the transport from Italy and kill Egypt turn one with one plane from Balkans and 2 units adjacent to Egypt.  The one game I didn’t do this, the allies made short work of me……  the med cruiser can be killed with just planes.

Hello, I know you all have probably seen these questions 1 million times, but I couldnt find the answers on the forum =/. Here are my questions:

Islands: are they considered part of a sea zone or seperate - say the us attacks Wake and I have a Japanese fleet there, can the fleet defend the island?
Plane movement: is taking off from land to see a movement?
Subs: say I have 3 subs parked off the shore of england, can england send a bomber and attack me on the first turn with no retaliation? Am I considered above water for the first round?

Your help appreciated.
