Poll: The Most Important Naval/Air Starting Pieces

I thought for Spring42’ 2nd edition, the bid goes to the allies? I’m confused here.

Yes, it’s legal.  Of course, if you destroy all of the defending units in the first combat round, you’re stuck.

@Dukla:

Is it ok to take one territory with one tank and in the same combat move round do blitz with another tank from the same territory{as first tank came}through the NEW territory?{I HAVE 2 TANKS IN ES.EUROPE,1 IS TAKING{unoccupied hostile} UKRAINE AND AFTER I DO MOVE AND BATTLE WITH THE 2nd TANK IN CAUCAS.

Yes, because the blitzed territory is unoccupied.

Thanks, that makes sense, I think our confusion came about because we forgot that when fighters attack defenseless transports there is an actually rolled out battle, it’s just that it isn’t done to save time.  Which in this case is applied to the sub to keep rolling if there are further rounds of combat and then depending upon whether there is an air victory by either side (transport sunk either way) or if there is a retreat before the sub hits (transport survives).

The only problem with ziplock bags is that they don’t look nice  :mrgreen:

Thanks….“One  Adjacent” is the key term, got it

Oh yeah forgot about the printable maps! Thanks!

Buy another game. That’s what i did. Proud owner of 3 1942’s.

Did you print one of IL’s maps to use that many pieces on?

Yes. My buddy printed one at his work.  Turns out his brother has some crazy printer that is 80" wide at his work.  Trying to find out about that.  I play on a ping pong table at times so i can have a crazy big map.  I’m looking for a map that combines the new Europe/Pacific together so I can play that on a massive map.  Although that will get expensive to buy units for those.  The rule is no plastic chips unless absolutely necessary (crowded territories is the only exception but that comes up rarely).

Nice. That is a big printer.

With Germany, I will be attacking the USA atl fleet first turn with a submarine.  I will be positioning my air force to ensure that the allies can not land in Europe or Africa the first turn (easy to do this time, since i will only need 1bomber and 3fighters in range to wipe out any first turn joint allied fleet that decides to move to africa).
With USA and UK, I will be buying shit tons of Fleet Defense, which will delay my landings by 1 full turn.  Russia is going to be in a tight squeeze because of this.

Russia and Japan will be played pretty much the same, except that russia can count on any support through africa being 1 turn late.
