3 quick questions: What Edition, Noncombat blitzing, warship IDs…

The UK holds onto the money, until thier capital is liberated.

At which time, they can then spend it on their next turn, or the begginning of thier turn IF an ally of theirs liberated it.

You have to wait a turn.

Blitzing is a combat move, where you blitz through an unoccupied territory and take it, either to engage in combat in an adjecent territory or to move (or return) to an adjecent friendly territory.

In your case your combat movement phase has ended, since you have already resolved combat in China. You can not take Sinkiang in this turn then, since it would be a combat move.

No.  Air units have different retreat rules.  They stay in the contested space until noncombat movement, then they move up to their remaining movement allowance (whatever movement was not used in combat movement) to a friendly territory or carrier.  Also, air units cannot establish a retreat route for land or sea units.

Something to remember about infantry units in 1941, they were able to shoot down aircraft. So with this in mind it is possible to shoot down enemy aircraft. I don’t agree with them being able to shoot down bombers, but some realism is lost to “game” play. Of course as players, you all can agree to modify your own rules so long as all agree.

@Verboten86:

My friend and I recently picked up this game, and I was wondering, what expansions can I use with this version?  I know the rules have been changed, so I’m wondering if there is any way of incorporating older versions or if there are any official expansions for this one.

Also, is there any way I can makeshift modify the 1942 edition back to the revised edition?  I’ve printed off a list of the rules changes, but I’m wondering if there are any IPC values on territories or other map changes, or anything else, that I would have to change as well.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this!

Hey there. I’m not aware of any expansions/scenarios for 1942, it might be too soon for them since the game got released a few months ago and all the attention seems to be focused on AA50.

1942 is essentially a ‘revised’ Revised. The map changes are on North America (W. Can doesn’t connect with C. US, SZ55 and SZ63 anymore) plus the addition of Formosa and Iceland. The rest remains the same as Revised. If you find a copy of Revised somewhere I’d advise you to get it since the map is slightly bigger and it cames with a lot of extras (battleboard instead of battlestrip, printed money, etc.) and you can use the Revised board to play 1942 (that’s what I do) as long as you remember the changes to NA. If you can’t find it there are a few threads on this section with improved maps that you can print.

See ya

thanks alot for the help.

I don’t see any problem applying the individual victory rules from Revised to 1942.  However, I agree with Tekkyy that it’s probably better done later on.  I also believe that the individual victory rules from Classic are better.  In those rules, the individual winner is the player that increases his/her IPC total by the highest percentage, rather than by the highest number.

The spreadsheet comparing the Revised and Anniversary rules can be found here as well.  As Tekkyy mentioned, there are only very small differences between the Anniversary rules (though you also need to read the errata) and the 1942 rules, once you get past the absence of Italy and China as separate powers.

good deal, that’s the way we played it, but the way the printing actually worked out overlapping it coulda helped the German defense of the Med, as would have that UK sz3 thing to protect Karelia.
thanks Krieg.
