Rule Book

41 is WAY too stripped down- A territory encompassing Poland, the Baltic States, Romania, Hungary, and Bulgaria? Italy, Yugoslavia, and Greece as one territory controlled by the Germans and worth 1 IPC?

Buy 1942 at least. The only reason to get 1941 is the special piece molds.

On the plus side, it’s the cheapest Axis and Allies game available.

@yankeeclipper:

how does the Soviet-Japan non agression pact work in G40 2nd edition?  (don’t have the rulebook)

Here is a link to the Pacific rule book…

There is also a forum discussion on the topic here…

Thank you Sir!

Subs from both sides shoot in “opening fire.” There is an “opening fire step” every round. Unless an opposing DES is present, sub hits (only can hit naval units) in opening fire don’t get to shoot back. Subs get a “free” shot every round.

I’d say your copy of the program is completely jacked. First of all, an ally cannot take control of a friendly nations capital. If said nations capital is occupied by enemy forces then the ally can take control of territories that were formerly that nation’s, but once the capital is liberated then that country is back in the game. Under no circumstances can a friendly nation take control of an ally’s capital. In the situation you are refering to the British would lose no money becuase Japan retook Moscow.

Well yes it is, but Alaska has 2 sea zones. The one that is 2 spaces (1 turn) from Japan by boat is NOT the sea zone the is also next to W Can. No worries of that.

Good old Alex! He new Russian Communism.
He new Russian Communism wasn’t True Communism,
and he knew it very well! - another great Xiuote

Be careful where you start drawing the line. The USSR still had hope in it in the 1920’s. But after the rise of the Rightist Stalinist, the breech had happened.

Page 16 of the second edition rules, third column, second to last bullet:
“Your Transport can carry units of your alliance. These units must board on your ally’s turn, they must move on your turn, and they must be unloaded on your ally’s next turn.”
