Official Rules and Additions for A&A 42 and 40 Global Questions

@pfc_pander:

… I though you might be able to move your fighter during non-com to the sea zone that the carrier will be built in but wasn’t sure if that’s allowed.

…

1942 2nd edition and/or anniversary

It is allowed in both games.

Jaxrealm,

@jaxrealm:

And real cool pic btw, just reading about that…

Are you meaning the pic of my Dad on the left? He’s not only still alive but works everyday and plays A&A G-40 with us almost every week-end.

“Tall Paul”

Yep. Whatever that country has in their bank is now yours.

A capitol fall is very hard to come back from because of that. The toppled country misses a turn of buying units (no $$$) while at the same time giving the other side the chance to purchase with their normal collection plus the plundered treasure.

Hallo –

I’m looking for a good source for Revell & ESCI 1/72 figures.  I’m in need of a box of Japanese infantry (e.g., preferably Revell #02507 or ESCI #204).  Does anyone know of a good online store that would carry these?  I’ve searched many, but few actually have them.

Thanks in advance,

If memory serves me correct, there are more bugs in A&A:Iron Blitz than there were in the original. Yeah, go figures… :-?

@Michael:

1. Can fighters and Bombers attack Battleships, Destroyers and/or Transports unnassisted (without naval units)? :o

2. Where 4 (four) land/sea areas come together in one spot, can you move units diagonally across the “four corner” area? Example can you move directly from Berents sea to Karelia? Can you move directly from Western Mediteranian to Tunisia?
:-?

1 - yes (note transports cannot initiate a naval battle, they have an attack of zero)

2 - no, thats 2 moves! cheater! :)

i open up tcp/udp 47624 on my firewall and people can join mine, but when other people try it, it doesn’t work for some reason

You know what? I found the 3rd edition rules for the A&A CD-ROM game. It answers my question. It seems only defending subs can submerge. And, if they surface to find enemy naval units, they must fight on your next turn…for at least one round of firing. So, I finally understand. Submerging is meant for defending against air attacks! Thanks anyway!
