@coachdcj Player 2 is correct. From the Official Rules Clarifications document (page 4):
You can never give an ally anything: units, territories or I.P.C.'s.
anyone know how to get a reference chart for the original axis and allies game… I have lost the US reference chart and can’t remember which units go where……
thanks
I don’t know where you can get a replacement chart, other than buying a game on ebay or something. However, the information can be found here.
For anyone missing anything, BoardGameGeek has 2nd Ed. component pics at http://boardgamegeek.com/images/thing/98/axis-allies&gallery=game
For example, here’s the US reference chart: http://boardgamegeek.com/image/206478/axis-allies?size=large
