Can Damaged Battleship's bombard

Thanks.  Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something!

oh they’ll go out of print and be onto the next incarnation of the game by then…

@The:

No. but if you just buy AA42, you get a bunch of new pieces (including A and A guns). And it’s only like 25$

@Autarch:

That’s your best bet. Plus you’ll get a lot of extra units so you don’t have to use poker chips.

That is what I did with AA42. My boys didn’t want their copy so I bought it, with 1 game played, for $20 to add to mine. Now I need a bigger table so I can print one of IL’s maps for AA42 to have a good sized board for more pieces and less chips used.

If you ignore the tranny you can bombard if you take it out you cant.

As for your second question (with my limited experience) it seems that a sound US strategy is to build tons of subs and destroyers which forces Japan to counter thereby limiting land units for a china/india push. New Zealand/Queensland is a good place to stage them as the Carolines, DEI ,Philippines and Malaya are all in range. If you can pick off one of the islands with the US place as many units as you can spare into it on the UK/ANZAC turns (make it an airbase if not already)

In original AA, once had 1 transport  take out 2 fighters without loss. What was odd is the combat took like 6 rounds. 1st fighter wasnt killed until 4th round of combat. Thats a lot of misses from the fighters.

I remember I bought Risk for my 10 yr old son to try. He was doing really, reallly well his first game, then the dice turned against him for the first time.
As the tears welled up in his eyes I thought about what I could say to comfort him. I thought back to all my 20+ years of gaming experience.
All I could think of was: “I 'm sorry. I know it’s unfair, but you’re just going to have to get used to that.”

I’ll have to agree with Achtung, its a good Idea, but would cost allot and you wouldn’t be able to defend it very well.  I tried to do the same thing by moving all the Brits to Java and built an airbase their and my opponent still took it in one turn!

Thanks, I was comparing it to the Axis and Allies 1942 rulebook which has shiny pages. And that was about 1/2 the price of this game.

@shohoku201:

UK
5 IPCs if the Allies (excluding the Dutch) control Sumatra, Java, Celebes, and Borneo at the same time
5 IPCs for controlling Kwangtung and Malaya at the same time

ANZAC
5 IPCs if the Allies (excluding the Dutch) control Dutch New Guinea, New Guinea, New Britain, and the Solomon Islands
5 IPCs (once and only once) for occupying any territory that was originally Japanese controlled.

excluded the dutch?i don’t get it. if Uk liberates those islands, do they turn dutch again of UK?

no if the japanese capture them and uk or anzac liberate them they take controle over them :-D

and US?

…are a member of the “Allies” so UK & Anzac would get the bonus if the US controlled the Dutch islands.
