The biggest issue with this is why build that much navy with it. Unless I am ill-informed all those units are trapped and can not get past the straight of Turkey unless you also invade and capture Turkey.

You may have read my question wrong. Can the US build a minor industrial complex there? I understand that once France is liberated then US would lose control of it so it may be more beneficial to leave France under German control and just control everything else around it.

I am just not sure if someone can even build on FIC once it is captured back from Japan.

I don’t believe this is possible but maybe I am reading rules wrong.

So like all games France is under German rule. So when US takes French-Indo China back from Japan by rule it is considered “captured” not “liberated”, so can the US build a Minor Industrial Complex there since their control marker would be placed on it as long as France is under German Rule?

Since some people only check the FAQ, I thought I would post this here also.

I am struggling with some the game rules regarding subs. I want to make sure I read this right because the rulebook does not say immediately remove them as it does in other areas.

Please let me know if each of these situations is either correct or incorrect. If it is incorrect please let me know the right rule.

1. If a sub attacks and hit a surface ship (not a capital ship) with a surprise strike, that unit is removed without a chance to fire back.

2. If a sub hits another sub with a surprise strike that sub still gets to surprise strike back before it is removed

3. If a sub opts not to submerge and gets a hit with a surprise strike on defense the attackers takes off a surface ship (not capital ship) with out that unit firing back.

4. Defending subs have option to submerge before attacking subs can surprise attack

Thanks for the help with each of these situations.

We are getting set to hold our big A&A weekend again. When we all get together we end up playing with 8 players.

We ended up dividing into:
1. Germany
2. Italy
3. Japan
4. Russia
5. UK London/France
6. UK Pacific
7. ANZAC/China
8. USA

What do other people do?
Anyone else play with groups of that size?
Do some of you think we are playing with too many?

I need clarification please:

Do retreating aircraft only get to move 1 space, to the same space as land units, or do they get the finish there remaining move totals?

I know that Naval units do not have to stop if there is an enemy sub or transport present. I know a sub can by pass naval units if there is no destroyer present. I may have already answered my question without realizing it but please help anyways.

Can your attacking naval force bypass an enemy sub even if you have a destroyer in that naval force?

Do subs stop subs?

Here is the situation Germany has a naval force with destroyers in SZ112 they want to move to and invade from SZ127. Russia has on sub in SZ 125. Can the whole German naval force bypass the sub? If not can Germany first move the naval force without destroyers to Z127 and then move the destroyers to SZ125 and kill the Russian sub?

Splendo02,

If you did this turtle strategy why wouldn’t Germany just SBR you so much you could never actually build or were spending so much on repairs that it took a chunk of your money.

I have seen people reference ships in SZ105 a couple times now. I do not see anything on the set up charts that would have ships in SZ105. Can someone clarify this?

If you leave the UK BB damaged as you retreat, I assume UK fixes it by G2. How much do you send on G2 to finish it off and avoid possible scramble. Will UK normally combine the left over BB with the DD and transport in SZ109?

Can someone further explain the strategy of retreating the BB back to SZ112 during your attack on SZ111 or SZ110? I do not fully understand how it works. Also are you only retreating the BB or everything? I don’t have my rules to reference, can you retreat individual units out or is it all or none? Thanks for the help and info.

Does DOW on J1 or J2 effect neutrality between the Soviets and other Axis powers? If Soviets still have to remain neutral until RD4 do you wait to attack Russia with Germany?

Not sure where I post info so did it on both pages.

Hopping to revive this topic and its posters. I want to find players in Fort Wayne area also. Willing to play heads up but prefer to play in group setting. Let me know and feel free to message me.

@StuckTojo:

A minor IC can only be built on a territory with a value of two or higher. Finland isn’t feasible.

Sorry.

According to this map picture Finland is a 2:

I have been trying to come up with different strategies before I play again. I wanted to know peoples’ thoughts and whether they have tried this before. I did not see any previous posts when I used the search bar.

On G2, after taking Finland on G1 purchasing and placing a Minor Industry on Finland.

I see this as a way to get infantry on the front Soviet lines much more quickly as well as to help defend Norway.

@Nippon-koku:

Correct.  I should’ve clarified; since JDOW1 is very popular the US may have the chance to get over there as early as US2

Not to change/hurt this topic but I do not have the experience many of you do so I don’t understand this strategy. Why is JDOW in round 1 popular?

Do you guys see UK scrambling often or do you try to make it so the risk is to heavy for the UK to scramble?
