Round 2 this evening so will post new pics etc soon
Global 2nd edition Q+A ( AAG40.2)
-
can bombers fly over enemy territory with aaa gun can they fly over territory with fighters
Yes, the rule that you have to endure AA fire for every territory you combat move over is long gone. Last version was Revised, circa 2004? Is that what you’re asking about?
Can bombers fly over territories with fighters? As escorts? Or do you mean enemy fighters? Or can your fighters fly over territories that have AAA? If your question is the latter, the answer is yes, same as bombers. You only take AAA fire in the territory you are attacking - the rule about taking AAA fire for every territory you fly over is long gone.
-
ok so my air units fly over enemy aaa and fighters and attack enemy units in the next territory thanks. sometimes its hard to keep track of rules when you’ve been playing different versions over the years
-
That’s no kidding
I prefer to stick to one version at a time, myself -
If Japan moves all its fleet with 6 loaded transports into sea zone 9 on round 3, would that provoke USA to go to war?
-

Japan needs to declare war on the US before being allowed to move there.
@Rulebook:
When not yet at war with the United States, in addition to the normal restrictions (see “Powers Not at War with One Another,” page 15),
Japan may not end the movement of its sea units within 2 sea zones of the United States’ mainland territories (Western United States and Alaska). -
Thank you, P@nther! Can’t believe we missed that in that in the rule book!

If I take finland round 1 with germany can I land a fighter on it the same round? It is a pro axis spot. I forgot the rule.

No, you can’t.
@rulebook:
Where Units Can Move
…
Air Units: An air unit must end its move in an eligible
landing space. Air units can land in any territory that
was friendly (but not friendly neutral) at the start of the
current turn.

Okay so on China Turn one, if Japan has closed the Burmese Road they cant buy artillery right? Im asking because the rule stating that china can buy Artillery is in there national objective. this is confusing because wouldnt it mean that china would only be able to buy artillery on its second turn anyway because it would need a complete turn with the road open to buy the artillery?
Is it worth it for Japan to close the burmese road turn one if they want to hold their DOW until a later round?
-
China can buy artillery iff the Burma road is open at the beginning of its turn.
Even if Japan doesn’t attack the West turn 1, it’s worth it to take Yunnan, in order to kill the 4 infantry and prevent the Chinese from buying artillery.

If uk captures west Germany does the IC stay a major or is it converted to a minor?

@Flying:

All major IC’s are always reduced to minor when captured by the other side.

All major IC’s are always reduced to minor when captured by the other side.
Off the top of your head do you know what page that is in the book?
Edit: found it page 20

If Japan takes India and Borneo, and the US captures Borneo, does the territory become American since the British Pacific capital is occupied?
-
Yes

All right a few Questions here. Hope I am posting in the correct forum.
So here they are. I see links for playing online , and it looks like that is "known as “AAA” so what is “AAA” and how does it work? is it a play by email? or more to it than that please give a description of it thank you.
Next, is there a version of global like the old “PC” game Iron blitz out there anywhere? -

“AAA” simply means “Axis And Allies”. Yes, there is a software, called TripleA, that allows playing many wargames. There are many maps to play, including maps for all AAA-games, except 1914. You will find a lot of information about this in the Software section of this forum.
I recommend the following threads as a start:
http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=18278.0
http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=27127.0Just browse through those and other threads to get an idea. Also many forum users use “Play by Forum” for online games using TripleA.
See
http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?board=40.0Just ask if you have further questions. Use the Software subforum for TripleA-related questions.
Use the game-labeled forums for example for rules or strategy related questions concerning that specific game.Enjoy gaming :-)

There are no more PC games like Iron Blitz for Axis and Allies, as far as I know
Triple A does have an AI that is about as terrible as the one for Iron Blitz - lots of cool sound effects, but no cool military march songs :-(
Although I got the files for the old Iron Blitz/Axis and Allies songs on a computer and used to play them while playing on the board…. :-)

Hi plasma
Triplea is down due to sourceforge being down right now. Here is the latest triplea:

I had to cut out the non wwII games and the older triplea versions to get it to upload. It takes a while to dl, about 45 min. I’ll post this on the triplea thread too.

Guarantee its been asked before…
Italy attacks Russia. Italy holds territory. Germany moves in, without declaration of war.
Russia then attacks the two territories Italy took (one had a IT tank and lots of Germans) and only 1 German in the other territory with no Italian units. Russia did not declare war against Germany. Can Russia take those territories, only attacking the IT’s? Now Russia and Germany shares two Russian territories?
Legit?
