Axis and Allies 1914 FAQ/Question and Answer Thread

I’m sure this has been asked before so I apologize for my inability to find the answer myself, but I would certainly appreciate some help with this quick question.

Can your units in a contested territory move  into an adjacent contested territory to wage conflict there? For instance, can Russian units in a contested Poland reinforce units in a contested Galicia for a renewed offensive against CP forces in Galicia?

Yes, as long as there were already some Russian units in Galicia at the beginning of the turn.

helllo, playing a game this weekend and a question arose in my mind. can a nation belonging to your side activate a minor neutral power. for example france which goes to albania to activate it for the italians is this legal? sorry if this has been asked but can’t seem to find a thread or find it in the rules cheers and happy hollidays :p

Yes.

To Krieghund,

I started to look through the 42 pages for an answer, but decided I’ll ask even if it has been asked already (don’t suppose someone wants condense this all to a question and answer?).

Can the neutral US move its units into land spaces controlled by future allies (but not contested)?  And if so, do they defend if attacked in those spaces?

Merry Christmas, Krieghund.

And another question Krieghund,

Can I load an inf from a contested space onto a transport and then drop him off in the exact same space he was loaded from?  Would this allow me to use BBs for shore bombardment?

Merry Christmas!

No.

@jim010:

Sure.

@jim010:

No.

@jim010:

Merry Christmas!

Happy New Year!

Ok.  So just to be sure, dropping the inf off a transport into the contested space he came from does NOT constitute an amphibious assault?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

@Krieghund:

Yes, as long as there were already some Russian units in Galicia at the beginning of the turn.

What if the units were of an ally?

@jim010:

Ok.  So just to be sure, dropping the inf off a transport into the contested space he came from does NOT constitute an amphibious assault?

Correct.  It is an amphibious reinforcement.

@jim010:

What if the units were of an ally?

They must be yours, not an ally’s.

@Krieghund:

@jim010:

Ok.  So just to be sure, dropping the inf off a transport into the contested space he came from does NOT constitute an amphibious assault?

Correct.  It is an amphibious reinforcement.

So if I wanted to get around that and use shore bombardment, I would have to completely evacuate the contested space and then re-engage?

Cheers

Never mind.  I got my answer from copying and pasting all your answers into another thread.

I have posted all questions and Krieghund`s responses here, including the FAQ on page 14 of this thread:

I have done this because going through 42 pages to find an answer is ridiculous, and I am sure Krieghund may get tired of answering the same questions.  I will try to keep it up to date for awhile.

If two Cruisers attack two Subs  and get one hit, can the hit Sub fire back while the Sub that survives submerge?

Yes.

Thank you Krieghund. Thought so.

Naval mine fields
Does the controller of the adjacent territorry of a naval symbol roll for mines for its enemys? For example germany has captured Washington and Britain enters Sz 1. Does Germany roll for mines on the british ships?

Welcome, Wildweasel!

Minefields are not active when the naval base is controlled by an enemy power.  They are only active when it’s either contested or controlled by it’s original owner.

tx Krieghund

I know Battleship bombardment is limited to the number of troops offloading from a transport during an amphibious assault, but is this before or after coastal artillery fire?
Ex. 3 French infantry and 1 French artillery with 2 battleships assault 1 Ottoman infantry and 5 Ottoman artillery in Albania. If 3 or 4 coastal shots hit, are the French limited to 1 or 0 bombardment shots, respectively?

Thanks in advance.
