Thank you, that actually helped a lot. We had a general idea of the subs ability to submerge unless facing destroyers, but that got a little confusing when it came to combined arms. Your comment about dice actually sorted that out. Thanks a bunch, I’m sure I’ll be back with questions about convoys, bombing, and scrambling once we play again.

I am proud to say that I have quite a few friends who are willing to play, so much that one has to be left out for now. He gets to play settlers of catan on the other months though. I could muster seven up probably twice or thrice a year, but no more

Well count your blessings, I have a hard time finding one opponent these days.

@Brain:
I usually play just 2 player games, sometimes three. I just have trouble getting my friends into playing it.
You have to let them win every once in a while.
Well it’s not that, we can’t even play a full turn most of the time because they get bored and want to play PS3 or something.

We need to get some new friends or maybe we can all move to the same city. Hell, let’s start our own city called Axisandallies, USA

Is that near Lake Woebegone?

@Yoper:
This is my guess:
Two player game: One player controls all Axis powers (Germany/Japan/Italy) and the other controls all the Allies (the remaining powers).
Three player game: Each player controls one of the following powers or group of powers - all the Axis powers, United Kingdom/ANZAC/ France, and the United States/Soviet Union/ /China.
Four player game: Each player controls one of the following powers or group of powers - all the Axis powers, United Kingdom /ANZAC, Soviet Union/France, and the United States/China.
Five player game: Each player controls one of the following powers or group of powers- Germany/Italy, Japan, United Kingdom/ANZAC, Soviet Union/France, and the United States/China.
Six player game: Each player controls one of the following powers or group of powers- Germany, United Kingdom /ANZAC, Italy, Soviet Union/France, Japan, and the United States/China.
Is this what you want or what you think will be in the rulebook?
-
I really think the power groupings will be optional.

No, I don’t think so. For 4 players, you want a 2vs2, so it’s:
- Japan
- Germany+Italy
- UK+Canada+France+USSR (assuming FTF, is better having the one dude at each side of the board)
- India+ANZAC+China+USA (same reason. You can split the UK income as you wish, OOB or not, you can guess what I’ll do :-P)
For online, allied split should be, for saving time reasons:
- UK+USSR
- USA+China+France

@Yoper:
WotC has a way of changing things after it leaves our hands.
Is that when they insert all the typos, broken rules, and slash the amount of pieces down.
Can anyone give me a good reason why they don’t sell extra pieces?
-
Do you want the real reason or a good one.
-
So since the UK income is going to be split to India (OOB at least) I can see a much better case for UK/ANZAC than I was originally going off of since India may need the help from ANZAC being closest in the Pacific. However, would it be more important to have US/ANZAC working together and have the UK/France navies paired in the Atlantic? How greatly will the India split affect groupings?
-
I definitely don’t see USSR player taking on France roll as well. The USSR player should be alone as soon as there are enough players.
-
Or with china

WOTC does sell extra pieces! Very reasonable too. Its called Axis & Allies 1942.

That won’t help me get bunkers and Italian pieces.
