It’s better than nothing, but not much better. I was actually looking for a revised edition mod when I found this forum. I wish someone with some skillz would do that. It probably wouldn’t take much. Fixing the AI would probably be a little tougher though.
Is it true that the easiest AI is actually the smartest? I need to switch that if it’s so.
Fight! Fight! :evil:
I think the only way to resolve this is to play it out.
2) Sea Zone battles. Let’s say I’m Germany on G1 and I want to destroy the UK transport next to Eastern Canada in SZ1. Do I have to move the German sub from SZ8 into that zone to attack and then leave the sub in that zone if I win? Is there anyway to attack SZ1 but not “take” it by destroying the TRN?
If you want drive-by attacks, play Grand Theft auto 
I’ve always believed that the best uses of the US were:
1. Help take Africa back from Germany and be a threat to force Germany to defend western Europe
2. Build a pacific fleet to force Japan to spend money on navy
3. Strategic bombing whenever possible
Remember the final result of whatever your move is; if you put a few troops in asia, you’re harrassing Japan, but it takes a long time to set up that gravy train of transports. If you build a big fleet on turn one, then one of two things will happen: Japan will build a fleet, which means less money going into Asia, or they will not, which means you will have naval superiority and Alfred Thayer Mahan will be proud.
I think the most important battles are:
Germany: Egypt, clearing the Med of british shipping
everyone else depends on their strategy.
@SSG:
No, Schlag, to the best of my knowledge noone has come out with the revised A&A format for computers or game systems. If someone does, I will happily stand in line to buy one.
Too bad that recent PC version sucked so completely…
Thanks guys.
In a PBF game here I attacked West Russia and seized the territory purely with infantry, I won the combat and occupied Wes Russia. In my next combat move I then proceeded to blitz with tanks through West Russia and seized Moscow.
The other player tells me that this is an illegal move, but the rules says I can blitz through territories that I control, and/or through territories that are enemy controlled but un-occupied (the ones that came with the 2004 edition, I bought it about a week ago).
Was this a legal move?
To the best of my knowledge, this wasn’t an illegal move, since I was blitzing through a territory I had just seized.
It was an illegal move. All combat moves happen at once, so your tanks are not allowed to blitz through a territory just siezed. They would be part of the initial attacking force and stop in West Russia for combat phase.
Hey guys, I just bought the new 2004 version of the boardgame and I was wondering if anyone has done a mod for the old Hasbro computer game that incorporates the new map and units?
