    Thank so much for your videos and info! I have yet another question that has popped up. A&A second edition early (1988) So here we go... I have a UK transport and 2 troop units in South Africa. Germany has retreated all the way to Egypt. Can I load the 2 troop units and move one sea zone and drop 1 troop into unoccupied Kenya and then move one more sea zone and drop the second troop into unoccupied East Africa? Thank you again for all your help.

    • @BoardGameNation
      @BoardGameNation  Рік тому +2

      Once a transport offloads units, it is done for the rest of the turn. So, a transport can load once or twice per turn, but offload only once. I hope this helps.

  • @mikemartin8088
    @mikemartin8088 2 роки тому +5

    Thanks for all you info! Our version of A&A 2nd does not involve cities so I guess we're playing an older version. So, I'm Axis, Germany has fallen, I'm left with Japan and I'm retreating. I have an AA gun in Manchuria and also in Japan. If the Allies do a strategic bomb run on Japan and fly over Manchuria going in and coming out, does the AA Gun get another shot as the bombers are leaving using the same route? Thank you for all your work! PS I made a game board that was bigger so we have a little elbow room. I'd like you to see it one time!

    • @BoardGameNation
      @BoardGameNation  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks for watching!
      The rules around AA guns has changed a few times over the various versions. Assuming you are playing 1942 Second Edition, here is what you need to know: AA Guns only fire when the land territory they are defending is attacked. They don't fire when enemy forces pass over or in response to a strategic bombing raid. The Industrial Complexes have a built in AA ability that fires at incoming bombers.
      Here is a video we made on the topic the has lots of examples: ua-cam.com/video/hw1kiiqS0Vc/v-deo.html
      I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any additional questions!

    After making a combat move and combat occurs. If the attacker wins the combat that ends the movement of those troops other than aircraft correct ? They can’t withdrawal after a combat. In non combat move phase I pretty sure it states units that engaged in combat moves cannot move again with a few exceptions being aircraft. Thank you.

    Doesn’t the presence of a submarine make it hostile waters how did that transport move to drop off troops with the destroyer without doing combat with that submarine

    • @BoardGameNation
      @BoardGameNation  2 місяці тому

      Good question! The sub does not make the sea zone hostile. However, the transport can not perform and offshore bombardment in a sea zone with sub unescorted. The destroyer chose to ignore the sub rather than attack it.
      It is one of the oddities in this version, but I hope that helps!

      I have seen a number of house rules for paratroopers that involve bombers moving a single infantry into combat, but there is nothing like it in the out of the box rules in any of the main line games that would allow this.

    Thank you for your tutorial! I have one question, do you think Axis and Allies 1940 Europe 2nd Edition (without pacific 1940) is good? Because I don't like it in the 1942 edition that the Germans are already almost in Moscow at the beginning and in the 1940 edition the Germans need a little bit longer. I would like to hear your opinion! Sorry for my bad English :/

    • @BoardGameNation
      @BoardGameNation  4 роки тому +2

      I love A&A Europe! I have only played it once without the Pacific counterpart, but I did enjoy it. I like the addition of the air bases and naval yards.
      However, I honestly prefer the 1942 scenario. Having the German and Russia forces so close fires up the action on the first turn. The Americans being 2 or 3 turns from being a big influence in the game provides the longer strategic issues.

    In Sea Zone 63, is the destroyer necessary? I thought the submarines could be ignored (Rules p. 15).

    • @BoardGameNation
      @BoardGameNation  4 роки тому +5

      Ah, great question! Thanks for asking!
      This is a tricky one. The rulebook seems to have conflicting thoughts. On page 15 we have this: "If there are defending surface warships, sea combat occurs. If there are only defending submarines and/or transports, the attacker can choose to ignore those units or conduct sea combat."
      However, on the bottom of page 13, we have this chestnut: "However, a transport is not allowed to offload land units for an amphibious assault in a sea zone containing one or more ignored enemy submarines unless at least one warship belonging to the attacking power is also present in the sea zone at the end of the Combat Move phase."
      Putting these two sections together, I gather that the attacker moving with surface warships can ignore a sub and attack, but a transport alone cannot. This is tricky from a game play point of view, but certainly more historically accurate.
      Again, great question. Thanks for asking! I hope I was able to help clear it up. To be honest, I had to ask around about this rule when I was making this video.
