Axis and Allies Pacific: 1940 The Movie.

What’s important to remember is that a transport can’t unload unless the SZ is made friendly.

In this case the Americans and the transport and precluded from combat, but the SZ Still has to be friendly.  If the Japanese can keep it hostile then Anzac can’t land.

Thank you so much for this update. That thread is one I’ve been following behind the scenes for years. I can’t believe Larry Harris didn’t do more to improve this stand alone game.

Do any of you consider uniting the ANZAC and British Fleets?

@Krieghund:

There is no rolling versus defenseless transports.  By definition, transports that can retreat are not defenseless, so combat would be conducted normally.

Perfect. Thanks!

You can only build them on your own territories (that you have controlled since the beginning of your turn).

In a group they have a huge defensive advantage and can still attack independently but in a combined effort.  They have a bit more control that way, not that it helps at all.

just like in real life
that’s what i like in this game: you’ll have same discussions of 1940 as in reality

i have read a book about it, some were pro war 1940, some 1941, some pro war China, some pro war USSR

each case: it has its advantages, but disadvantages.
only depends if there are more pro’s than con’s

I second that, very good post.
