Newbie Question

I noticed it was your first post after I answered:
Welcome!

We all love 1940 here, so glad you are playing it.

I forgot all about this sticky thread in player help which applies to this question.  :oops:

Just play regularly with Germany first, then USSR, then Great Britain, then the USA for the whole game. That pattern never changes.

By circled territories do you mean Stalingrad, Leningrad, and Moscow? If so, they are circle shapes because they are cities, however you play them just like the regular territories.

I asked this on the A&A revised forum, but was reminded that that version doesn’t quite work the same way as A&AE works, so hopefully someone here can help me understand this better.

I was always under the impression that, as the defending player, your fighters take no part in a SBR unless the attacker sends his fighters as escorts for his bombers. If that is so, what is the attacker’s incentive to send his fighters along in the first place? It would seem to me that doing so would only serve to put his bombers at risk. We’ve played under this impression since Europe first came out….are we totally missing something?  :?

Rob.

Europe is a smaller scaled land based game. Lots of small provinces. Pacific’s scale is considerably bigger and deals primarily with naval and air power.

I personally enjoy Pacific a lot. It has more strategy than Europe in my opinion. Both are great though.

First off,Germany needs to take just one capital to win the game(Moscow,Great Britain,or the U.S.).I personally try to take all three capitals if I have the time or luck.This is a very difficult task to say the least.

You have to hold it for one turn. However, an ally could land a fighter there on their following turn. Not that Germany has an ally, but it may apply to the Allies.

Yes transports can load during combat movement and drop off. Assuming that they have the movements available.
