Welcome to the forum.

@Gunngrinner said in Clarification needed…. Russia/Berlin captured on same turn:

Does Russia plunder all the IPCs from Germany,

Yes. By the rules (e.g. rulebook 1940 Europe SE), page 21, “You collect these IPCs
even if your own capital is in enemy hands.”

@Gunngrinner said in Clarification needed…. Russia/Berlin captured on same turn:

… and if so, can they use uncaptured factories to place new units on their next turn?

No. Rulebook (same page) says: “The original controller of the captured capital is still in the game but can’t collect income from any territories he or she still controls and can’t buy new units. The player skips all but the Combat Move, Conduct Combat, and Noncombat Move phases until the capital is liberated.”

Welcome back @koala

You may be interested that we now have lifetime ELO ratings and some new ways to find game results data.
Like I could immediately see your last game here was 2019 and that you haven’t played PtV in league yet.
You can do the same, for any player!

You should be able to find a link to the ratings from the sticky thread. Another “welcome back” to you

And yes, early 2021 is totally a COVID lockdown thing

There was a pretty sweet Risk app I found on the phone a while back, it had interesting custom maps
Have you played some of the other versions, like based on sci-fi movies or whatever? I haven’t.

It’s the little army men, tanks, planes, and battleships that makes A&A so much cooler. I chafe at people asking “is it like Risk?” Yes you take over territories from your opponent and gain more income/armies, and you get bonuses for controlling certain things, and you roll dice to resolve battles… But NO!

We offer each other so many wonderful puzzles to solve

Axis and Allies is an incredible game

@crockett36

You put on your profile:

“About 10 years ago I downloaded TripleA and played 2 or 3 games over email at TripleA War Club. Enjoyed it, but left it at that. Got TripleA again, found this site, and had a blast since then.”

That is awesome.

Yeah if I lose 110 I think it was game over. Like I said, I was almost guaranteed to sink the 5 transports, but game over losing all my air.

It’s very interesting to me how we seem to have looked at our chances in this game differently over the course, but I think this was yet another battle where if it went poorly I can’t win. Now we are still at hotly contested status

@oysteilo Well said - With such a risky attack, even slightly below average is a good result for me, there was about a 15% chance of failure to win, so I would need to save a sub after round 1 and go to the death to sink the transports for sure.

So average results in that situation are fantastic for me, and the above average I got? Huge relief.

But I totally agree, as lucky as that was I was even luckier other times

Also thanks for the advance scramble decision, that sped up the game and saved me an interruption. I probably shouldn’t have asked for it, I hadn’t studied the UK position yet like you of course did in making the move

I just knew if I attacked 110 with everything you would absolutely scramble and hoped to speed up the game, but it was more complicated than that as you said.

But you handled me tactfully once again, and I appreciate how well you treat me

Thank you for the quick casualty choice,
Now I can only dread the terrifying Red Army’s substantial increases and the war bonds roll at the end
