Ha this is intresting. The computer lets me do otherwise. Oh well, must be some sort of glitch
This is the main reason I am against people first learning how to play on the CD. If you do not learn the correct rules first, the CD bugs and rule violations cause conflict in how the game was to be played.
I would strongly encourage anyone who has only played the CD version to get a copy of the rule book. I know that AAMC has an online copy, but their website is currently down. I have a copy I can e-mail anyone interested.

Not necessary, Wild. The 2nd ed. rule book is posted on this website in the rules section. And for all you lazy bums, http://www.axisandallies.org/download/AxisandAllies.pdf -You’re going to need the Adobe Acrobat Reader to see it. And I agree with Wild - You should read all the rules before you play, and also TALK about them before you play in a group. There are a lot of little rule tweaks that people use, sometimes they don’t even know it’s different than the rulebook.
yo corporal punishment, any idiot would know that a nuke would take care of that pussy tank and transport you have
Okay…
Anyways, take heed to Corporal Punishment’s words. When I play (casually that is) I use all sorts of variations and different rule subsets. It makes the game more exciting and different each time. The only problem is to make sure that other players also know what rules you’re playing with. That why you skip any unnecessary hassle that might arise.
:D My question is how people handle transporting in straits within a sea zone (Japan-Manchuria, UK-Western Europe). I’ve always considered it 1/2 zone each way so I can carry double the amount. How does everyone else consider this?
I think you can only unload once.
once a transport unloads it’s move is over.

Also make sure they know these at THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME!!!
gotta’ love the "oh yeah, you can’t do that . . . we created a variant to the rules whereby . . . ", or “of course i can do this . . . we decided on this in the middle of last game . . . oh, you missed it? sorry, but your bomber dies anyway”.
hate those. :evil:
Hahaha, those are the best.
But I perfer the “Asterisk Gambit”
Here’s how you do it:
Materials: A&A rulebook, scissors, glue, strip of asterisks.
1. A day before the game, photocopy the following sentence (asterisk included) and paste it on the last page of te rulebook:
2. Before the game begins, put the prepared rulebook in the bathroom, along with the glue, the scissors, and a strip of asterisks. If you’re short on asterisks, you may use these **********
3. Midway through the game, excuse yourself to go to the bathroom
4. In the bathroom, clip out and glue asterisks to all sections of the rulebook your opponent has been effectively exploiting
5. Return to your opponent, hand him the rulebook, then show him the door :wink:
