Question regarding Lend lease act

@Der:

…
When you replace the units, do you put them back where you got them from or does it have to be at your factory?

You just replace the units where they stand.

@Der:

And if you place them during your purchase phase, doesn’t this mean they can effectively move 2x in the same round? (USA moves transport of men to Russia on USA turn. Russia converts men during purchase phase. Russia can then move men in combat phase on Russia turn?)

Not really. Converting units is not moving units. As Russia always starts a new round, the allied units that are to be converted have moved (at latest) in the round before. In your example it is true that they move in two successive turns (USA then Russia), but these turns belong to different rounds, and those units still only move once per round.

Best, P@nther

Here’s a good thread on bidding

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!

Yes.

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…

Submarine have to face a round of fire from the attacking aircraft, then, if it has not been hit, at the end of the round it can submerge.

All Submerged submarines resurface at the end of the turn of the power in which turn they had been submerged. Example: UK aircraft attack a German submarine and miss. The German submarine then submerges. The submarine resurfaces at the end of the UK turn.

Where’s the unguarded territory if he blocked off the Baltic? What if there are no troops or very little troops in W. Europe? You may be infinitley efficient when you can bombard a territory, but when the territory doesn’t have many or any troops to bombard, or you are blocked, you are many turns behind in amassing the necessary troops to attack.

Concur with Sankt here  (who is becoming a very high grade “go to” person for answers on LHTR)

You can also download the ABattleMap. There you can see the correct unit placement.
