Question regarding Lend lease act

I think you’ve got it. Just to clarify, for America to collect income for a Russian territory, America must liberate the territory from an Axis power. If Russia retains control of a territory and Moscow is Axis-held, nobody collects for it until an Axis power takes that territory.

Here’s a good thread on bidding

http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=10438.0

Basically it boils down to how many units & IPC does it take to balance the game out.

Against a great player, you might need more…

I take it as I’m willing to play Axis for X IPC.

Also with heavy bombers, others use LHTR (Larry Harris Tournament Rules) where the most damage bmbs can do is limited to the total IPC value of the territory, some use 2X.  Yes, heavy bombers using OOB (Out of the Box) rules seem unfair but it’s still possible to win if you can go after the bmbs.  Deny the bmbs places to land, if all US/UK are buying bmbs than there is less ground troops, etc, etc.  Finding the right balance, but even than I would suggest going with the bid, and a few minor changes.  Take a look above LHTR is stickied.

Good luck and Good gaming!

I understand that…(and it was funny)  I was just taking the opportunity to bust on myself… :-D  I could have phrased the question a little more intelligently…

i don’t think anyone here is rude at all.  Actually, everyone takes the time to answer all of our “newbie” questions without any complaints… It’s a great forum…

Under item #2 allied fighters cannot be allocated as a hit allocation because they are not rolling on the attack so they are ignored.

Also,  Under item #1 if your carrier is defending and has fighters from allied players they can be allocated as hits on defence and roll out as well.

of course some of this is totally bogus and is totally unrealistic.but oh well.

There are numerous errors in the rule book that comes with the game.  You may want to check out Larry Harris Tournament Rules (which are available from a link on the main page of this website).

The only “opening fire” that repeats after the first round of combat is Submarine Sneak Attack.

BB Shore Bombardment and AA fire are limited to only opening fire of the first round of combat.

Is it you can’t collect income or is it that you don’t go through the collect income phase?  From what I’ve read it looks more like you don’t get to go through the collect income phase than it is, you just can’t get cash.

Allowing the players to simply “place” all of their forces where they chose is going to lead to some huge stacks in key areas on all sides… US in China, Japan in FIC, UK in India, Russia in Russia and Germany in West Russia.

And there is the rub.

Even if Russia moved EVERYTHING they have to Russia for defense (15 INF, 2 ART, 4 ARM, 2 FIG) plus their initial build of 8 INF
They would face
10 ARM
4 ART
11 plain INF
4 Supported INF
6 FIGS
1 BOM

Attack Rating:  79 and 36 units
Defense Rating:  70 and 31 units (plus AA)

Odds are, Russia falls on G1.

As an alternate, why not simply do “All Nations Restricted” and allow folks to purchse and Non-Comabt one full turn sequence before begining attacks?

THAT will shuffle the hell out of things, but do so within the realm of initial set up and prevent over-stacking.  Only problem is, since the Allies are initially economoically superior, it gives the Allis a slight edge, an edge that SHOULD be offset by the Axis’s superior initial number of piece and ability to move them in preparation for initial advances…

as an attack in G1.
