Question on the Second Edition Rule Book

Thank you, that actually helped a lot. We had a general idea of the subs ability to submerge unless facing destroyers, but that got a little confusing when it came to combined arms.  Your comment about dice actually sorted that out. Thanks a bunch, I’m sure I’ll be back with questions about convoys, bombing, and scrambling once we play again.

K thanks!

@514bishy:

For some reason my friends and I are confused about this NO and similar ones like it:

2IPCs per territory if Italy controls Iraq, Persia, and/or Northwest Persia. Theme: Access to strategic oil reserves

To me this means that if for example Italy controls only Iraq it will get 2IPC’s. Is this correct?

Yes.

@514bishy:

I also had a question about the convoy disruption on page 24 of the rulebook. At the bottom right it says that Italy could loose up to 2 IPC’s from the british sub. Is this a typo?

Yes.  See the FAQ.

@Karl7:

I played a Europe OOB game the other day against my dad and local guys back in my home town of Boise Idaho and got absolutely killed as the Axis.  I gave the allies a 28 ipc bid to counter what they claimed was an overwhelming Axis advantage.  (probably very stupid on my part… sigh)  Anyhow, they used the bid to prevent the Axis from sinking the British fleet.  It was downhill there on out.

My questions:

(1) if you don’t/can’t do sealion are the Axis doomed OOB?

(2) did Larry say Alpha 3.9 translates to Europe only?  If so, what national objectives do you use?

I am heading back up to Boise for rematch and want to use updates rules if so.

Axis are not doomed at all. I find it harder to win as the Axis when I’ve done sealion then when I didn’t. Doing Sealion means putting too much resources in London.

There are no official rules for europe only. A couple of threads down there’s a discussion to wich NO’s etc are being used.

@Panz3r:

1-only for historical reasons no meaning for the game
2-it’s not suriname roundel but dutch roundel this means that suriname and the island (in the pacific game) are dutch colonies!!!
3-Are used for global game, when you have to keep separate London and Calcutta on the production chart.  Ahh, that makes sense, thank you!

Welcome, rabbit221!

A unit’s attack and defense ratings indicate which numbers on the die rolls score hits.  For example, infantry, with an attack rating of 1 and a defense rating of 2, score hits when attacking on a 1 and score hits when defending on a 2 or less.

During the civil war the North and South used different track widths also, because front lines moved back and forth so much, there were special units dedicated to changing trackwiths as ground was gained.
