Sub question…(edit: wrong place to ask - sorry)

@CWO:

In Anniversary and in Europe 1940 1st edition, the Italian equipment pieces are a darker shade of brown than the Italian infantry pieces.  In Europe 1940 2nd edition, the equipment pieces are lighter and match the shade of the Italian troops.

I agree

2. Are there any strategy value for the airport on Iceland?

Here are a couple wikipedia articles:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceland_during_World_War_II
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceland_Base_Command

Without long rang aircraft tech, American fighters can’t reach England in one turn.  Iceland serves as a possible way-point, especially if the Allies are having difficulty regaining control of the Northest Atlantic.

Incidentally, I think I figured out why pre-war US is allowed to venture warships into SZ 102 for “patrols”: fighters on an acft carrier there can attack Gibraltar or Morocco on Turn 4.

Also, in the event of a successful Sealion G3(successful from the German point of view), planes on patrol in z102 and bombers from the airbase in Eastern USA can hit the German fleet in z109 and z110. This is why you always activate Eire on UK1 - If Germany wants to take away American bomber landing spots, it has to make the attack on London light by at least 2 transports, increasing London’s survivability.

Of course, if you didn’t buy a carrier US1 and park it with planes in z102 on US2, and if you didn’t buy bombers (and park them in EUSA on US2), well… then you had better not lose London!! :lol:

Yes and I’m realizing I’ve been playing this game totally wrong for years! Thanks.  :|

@P@nther:

This is covered in the rulebook:

@Rulebook:

Multinational Forces: Transports belonging to a friendly power can load and offload your land units.  This is a three-step process:
1. You load your land units aboard the friendly transport  on your turn.
2. The transport’s controller moves it (or not) on that  player’s turn.
3. You offload your land units on your next turn.

Unloading in an enemy territory occurs in your scenario in US’ combat move phase, followed by the battle.
Unloading in a friendly territory occurs in US’ NCM phase.

Thanks, sorry I missed that.

Your right sir Bombs alot.  Planes vs Subs w destroyers should be a 1:1 Ratio.

Welcome, Schleiffer!

Your answers are all correct.

germany builds factory in romania. builds one sub in lake 100. unless russia builds factory then destroyer, sub is untouchable and stops one british NO–the sub rule.  sz 100 is very very strategic  :wink:

@Dylan:

Do you mean beginner’s game or “beginner’s game” ?

I meant what I wrote, the game is meant for newcomers to the Axis & Allies universe, or for vets like us that want a short, quick game.
