They dont compare at all we play a lot of ALPHA+2 and its a great game. We also about once a month when we go for a second game we’ll do the older games A.A. Pacfic & Europe those games are awsome games that layed down the base fort the latter games. AsJapan can you get the 22$ ? what Island do you fail to take? how early do they start Bombing you? how many ones did the Allies roll on the opening round? They seem more do or die, oops I for got to say how well are you rolling? You have to do this or its all over or you have to do this to get that more cut throat. Less grand strategy there is no recovering from a bad round. there also quicker to play and there are less rules and situations
I love them both if I had to choose I would look at how much time I had and how many players are avalible
All nite and 4+ players ALPHA+ 2 or 3.5, less than 4 players and limited time any one of the older ones or even the ORIGINAL their all great in their own way

More Dutch questions……
Can the Dutch territory only be taken durning combat by UK/ANZAC?
Again the situtation came up. If the UK takes during combat can it land aircraft there on non com during the same turn?
Does the is also hold true for the French territories?
If Japan is at war with China, UK/ANZAC (UK/ANZAC attacked) at the end of its third turn when can the US declare war on Japan?

Can the Dutch territory only be taken durning combat by UK/ANZAC?
Dutch territories that are still Dutch are moved into by Allied units during noncombat movement.
Again the situtation came up. If the UK takes during combat can it land aircraft there on non com during the same turn?
UK/ANZAC can land air units in Dutch territories in noncombat movement any time they like.
Does the is also hold true for the French territories?
French terriories still under French control may be moved into in noncombat movement at any time by UK/ANZAC, but they may not be taken control of.
If Japan is at war with China, UK/ANZAC (UK/ANZAC attacked) at the end of its third turn when can the US declare war on Japan?
If Japan and UK/ANZAC are at war because of an unprovoked Japanese attack, the US may declare war on Japan at the beginning of the Combat Move phase of its next turn. If they are at war because UK/ANZAC attacked first, the US must wait until the Collect Income phase of its third turn.

Can Japan take French territories without provoking the allies?
-
Yes.
-
UK/ANZAC can take control of Dutch territories by just landing an airplane there during non-combat, correct?
-
No. They can move air units there, but it takes a land unit to take control.

Hi Krieghund,
I have a few questions regarding subs and convoy disruption.
Let’s say my opponent has 2 subs on station, sinking my convoy. If I attack them with 1 sub and the ennemy submerge instead of fighting, does this clear my convoy and allow me to collect the income at the end of my turn?
Another situation, if he attacks one convoy zone with two subs and I have a single sub defending and I submerge, do his subs block my convoy if I have a submerge sub in the same sea zone? Or do I need to attack him on my turn, with the results explained above?
And finaly, a sub attack a single aircraft carrier with two fighters on board, do the plane take off but can’t hit the sub and have a chance to land somewhere if the carrier is sunk, or do they stay on the carrier and sink with it as cargo?
Many thanks!

No.

Enemy ships raid your convoys regardless of whether or not you have ships in the zone.
And finaly, a sub attack a single aircraft carrier with two fighters on board, do the plane take off but can’t hit the sub and have a chance to land somewhere if the carrier is sunk, or do they stay on the carrier and sink with it as cargo?
They are considered to be defending in the air, so they must find a place to land if the carrier is sunk or damaged.

Hi angain krieghund,
Thanks for the answers, looks like the submarines can be very effective at disrupting convoy if no ennemy destroyers are around.
I have another question about scrambling planes.
If on the first turn my opponent sends a fleet in an adjacent sea zone to my island with airbase, but for some reason he can’t take the island on that turn and his fleet stops in that sea zone.
On my following non-combat move I send many air planes to land on this island. Will those planes be allowed to scramble and attack the ennemy fleet on my opponent next turn if it stays there during my opponent next combat move? And if it moves out of the sea zone during combat move? Does it need new ennemy ships to enter the sea zone to trigger scrambling?
Thanks!

Scrambling is a defensive action, so it may only be done in response to an attack. Movement alone will not trigger it. Your planes may only scramble if your units in the sea zone are attacked or an amphibious assault is declared against the island. It doesn’t matter whether the attacking units moved into the sea zone or if they were already there.

I’m not sure how much this will give away if you answer but I’ll ask anyway; is it balanced enough so that France will last at least a round against the German onslaught?
-
Kreig,
I’m fairly certain that you have already answered this one months ago, but i cant find it anywhere.
If china captures a Japanese Naval or air base in an originally owned Chinese territory, china immediately destroys it like it does with complexes since these are facilities right?
Also If china captures an AAGun in an originally owned Chinese territory it does not destroy it and keeps it as its own unit like any other power since its not a facility right?
Thanks for your help.

Does a single kamikaze attack stop shore bombardment, or must there be at least one conventional unit involved (surface warship or scrambled plane)?
-
If the US builds/captures a naval base, can ANZAC use it on its next turn immediately after the US?

Yes, I’m sure they can.

No, only industrial complexes are destroyed.

Correct.

A kamikaze alone will prevent bombardment.

Yes.

Can I attack a transport with something while simultaneously moving ships through the sea zone with the transport in combat move?
-
Yes. The same goes for a sub.

As I understand the rules, Japan attacking UK/ANZAC before they move into China or declare war first gives the US the ability to declare war, and until then, the US can land onto Japanese spaces and move through Japanese waters without engaging Japanese forces. My friend landed men on Okinawa and Iwo Jima as the US before I attacked anyone as Japan, other than China. The next turn I attacked the UK, and my friend argued that then the US was entered into the war, and since it was my turn, I would enter combat on Okinawa and Iwo Jima as the attacker, and he would get the defense rolls. I argued that since I owned the land, he would be considered the attacker, and combat would begin on his turn, thus making him the attacker. We ended up doing it as me attacking, and I lost Iwo Jima.
How should that scenario have actually played out?
