I’ve just completed my 6th game in a one on one situation of playing both the axis and allies - now we have discovered that the allies power appears to be juts too strong - what are other people’s thoughts on this matter?
thanks

Will The Axis ever win?

RE: Learning assistance
….and one last question - is it true you can only build the number of units you are supplied with? at the moment Germany has Battleships all over the board (borrowing other figures from russia and britain) but they only have 2 in the set
thank you so much guys for helping out! You’ve made my boyfriends “victory” far less “victorious”!! -
RE: Learning assistance
and another question - If I cleared a sea zone with my planes would my ship be able to pass through it during non-combat?

Learning assistance
I just wanted to say thank you for everyone’s help so far and I hope you don’t mind me asking more questions! My partner and I have become quite addicted already after A&A was purchased as a christmas gift! Just coming off an addiction to diplomacy this game is much more 2 player friendly and this last game played over three weeks has probably coveredaround 40 hours of game time. However as we are still learning there is need to clear up some confusion. I was asking in regards to rockets for eg
Germany developed rocket tech and started buliding and firing on Britain. Now 3 “rockets” were built in Norway 3 in Berlin and 3 in West E which meant 9 dice were rolled plus a SBR (which if he got a 4 or below he took 8 IPC’s from Britain) leaving Britain each round with zero IPC - now I’m assuming something is wrong with this picture!! -
Confused?
Okay - so now I’m confused again after reading other topics - In a SBR does the process go
for example
Germany has 1 bomber attacking Brtain
Britain shoots AA but rolls a 3 so nothing happens
Germany rolls a 4 or below
Britain losses 8 IPCOR
Germany has 1 bomber attacking Brtain
Britain shoots AA but rolls a 3 so nothing happens
Germany rolls a 3
Britain losses 3 IPCOR
Germany has 3 bombers attacking Brtain
Britain shoots 3 AA but none roll 1 so nothing happens
Germany rolls a 4 or below on all 3
Britain losses 24 IPC -
RE: Help help help!
If only I could take a photo of our game board!!! This is only our third gamne and still getting familiar with the rules the world is so heavily miliatrized it is scarey!! We had battle fleets with 5 bigboys (battleships!) 1 destroyer an aircraft carrier with two planes and 8 transport!
Yes Germany won the damn game because my dice rolls sucked and I couldn’t stop rolling 5 and 6’s and then I lost 8 bombers through that stupid AA gun in Berlin - my partner just kept rolling 1’s I couldn’t get a trick - then he rolled a 2 to develop rockets and shut down all of Britains IPC with 7 rockets hitting each time and Russias IPC with 5 rockets - they only cost 5 to build - it really is a way to win the game - that’s why I wonder if you allowed to build more than 1 in a territory

Help help help!
okay needing rule clarification on following
1 Heavy Bombers - do they take out full IPC amounts or do you roll a die for the value that they take?
2 If building special units - ie rockets - are these made by Anti -aircraft guns - or are they made by artillery?
3 Can you then place more than 1 rocket in each territory?
4 What happens when you run out of figurines and counters - eg I think Germany only has two battleships in total - does this mean they can only build two?
mmmmm that’s all for the moment!
thanks heaps guys!
