Some rules questions
1. Do Zombies stop Blitz moves?
2. If you are attacking zombies, does the 6 (zombie) roll count for kills as well as the usual roll?
3. If the defender is destroyed and there are only attacking planes and zombies left, is there still 1 round of anti-zombie combat with just planes?
I would expect the answer to be yes for all of these, but the rules are a bit vague.
From 9AM to 11PM in Grace Episcopal Church in Whitestone. For details http://www.meetup.com/Long-Island-Axis-Allies-Meetup/events/230029415/
Can income be collected from contested areas? If yes, what if a neutral area is attacked but left contested.
I would like to post the videos from the old Iron Blitz game, but the seem to be in an unusual file format (mgf). Does anyone know how to read them.
I have posted the files at the bottom of the following page http://www.rogercooper.com/AxisAlliesTriple-AComputerVersion.htm.
Next meetup Sunday 7/25 at The Game Table in Mineola. Close to Northern State Parkwy (Grand Central Parkway). Accessible by Train or Bus. For details see http://axisandallies.wikia.com/wiki/Long_Island_Axis_%26_Allies_Meetup
The Axis and Allies Wiki has reached 800 articles. Please contribute.
Most of the material is TripleA-oriented, but some also applies to the boardgame series.
I am particularly looking for strategy articles involving individual scenarios. Put your scenario design tips in the Scenario Design article. Finishing the rules comparison would be useful.
Please write your articles.
My group has found that all the clever ideas for the Allies fail. The Japanese fleet can use the political rules to be in position to launch a devastating attack on T3 against the American fleet. Large air fleets are deployed in Vietnam and Caroline islands. Transports and Carrier are build for additional flexibility.
The Japanese can use their superior starting forces and central position to strike at will. The Japanese have a number of avenues of attack:
1. Smash China
2. Push into India
3. Take the Dutch East Indies (vital for the income flip)
4. Invade Australia
5. Hit the US fleet where ever it is hiding
6. Take San Francisco
7. Take Honolulu
Although Allies can counter some of these, they can’t counter all of them at the same time.
If the CW forces make a maximum effort in the DEI, the Japanese can hit their weakened home areas. If they don’t make a maximum effort in the DEI, the Japanese can swiftly take them from the CW, leaving the UK with little income with the eventual fall of Asia.
If the US tries saving money or dispatching aircraft to the SW Pacific, the Japanese can hit San Francisco. If the US defends San Francisco, the Japanese aircraft in the Carolines can be used to support an attack on Australia.
If the Allies save the US fleet by moving it to New Zealand (and combining it with CW forces), the Japanese take the DEI and threaten San Francisco and Australia.
If the each Allied power launches a separate local attack, the Japanese can defeat them in detail.
I have had going for more than a year, a wiki for Axis and Allies at www.axisandallies.wikia.com. It focuses on new scenarios and variants, especially for the TripleA computer game. Most of the material from Trasher’s old website can be found there.
Post your scenarios and variants there.
In the 3rd edition of the Classic rules, air units were allowed to retreat. The 3rd edition also provided for sub submergence. I will need to add the stack thing.
