Axis and allies minatures, where and how to get

Anyone know why there id no main topic thread listed for Axis & Allies First Edition (released ???).
I have a Milton-Bradley 1985 edition (although the map is ‘changed’ due to the map being an ‘atrocious eyesore’ garbage depiction of geography - almost anyone could have done better).

No.  What are you going to search the video for clarification? The book+ this web site is all you need.

Bill, if your still out there, here’s some basic info.  (Sorry no one bothered to respond earlier, I just recently registered here myself.)

If your talking about the 1998 A&A CD which uses 2nd & 3rd editions rules, you are in luck.  A couple other web sites are better geared toward that format.  I believe this site is used by predominantly gamers utilizing the board game via face-to-face (F2F), play by forum (PBF) and play by email (PBEM).

AAWC.org & ewarzone.com both have a patch you can download.  _Plonitus & aqrit have done a ton of work over there to keep the '98 CD alive.  War Zone also is a game host site to play it online.

There are oodles more A&A options out there, just not so much for the '98 CD players.  As you may have noticed, there is a plethora of mutations of A&A games on the market now with lots of different scenarios, rules variations, etc. giving folks lots of flavors to choose from.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, I didn’t even touch on the A&A Iron Blitz or A&A RTS CDs.

@eyeofthetiger:

im wantign to play axis and allies revised online

you can use TripleA, free open-source program to play online
or, you can use forum dice roller like Gewehr as shown you

go to
“Find Players and Game Discussion” under “Play by Forum”

http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?board=52.0

and ask for a game (specify them what rules of axis and allies revised  you want to play eg. “LHTR 2.0”)

with Germany you start out with 40 ipcs.  Usually you spend all of that on stuff - armor and infantry mainly. 
If you take over 2 ipcs worth of territory and had not lost any, then at the end of your turn, you collect 40 + 2 ipcs = 42 ipcs.

Now if you did not purchase anything at the beginning of your turn, then you collect 40 (your starting income that you already had at the beginning of your turn) + 42 (what you collect this turn) = 82 ipcs.  So yes - you may puchase 3 battleships . . . for some reason . . . if you choose . . . .

Yes they can. All three allies can be in the same space even, and they all defend together. So if the UK has 1 inf in karelia, US has 1 inf in karelia, and Russia has 1 inf in karelia, if germany attacks karelia they are attacking ALL units in that space, so in this case, 3 infantry.

Thanx GG i will check that out.

I posted this in the axis and allied forum but id figure id post here too…

Ok, basically, can transports unload troops for an assault on the same turn that you destroyed the navy around that island?

In my first game (still under way…) my friend as the US dropped a AA gun on midway and also dropped some planes there as well (why, no reason…just cause he didnt see a threat…)

Then Japan decided to strike the massive navy he had around midway then drop some infantry in midway with fighter support to take out the bombers stationed there.

Is this a legal move?

Shouldnt the battle around midway have to take place one turn before the invasion of the island?

If not, then how come I cant take a landlocked territory and then blitz through with some tanks and air support to hit the next?

My friend (the only one who has played the game before…) says that you CAN take the sea territory then rush assault the island in the same turn, but that you cant take a land territory, blitz through with tanks and take an adjecent territory.

These two acts are exactly the same, just involving different units. In one your waging a battle, bringing in transports and dropping off troops. In the other your waging a battle, bringing in tanks and attacking with them.

My friend argues that its because all of this is done at once and that the transport unloads during the combat. However, couldnt it be said that the tanks had already planned on rushing through the battle to blitz the next territory? If transports are allowed to drop off troops and attack an island after the naval battle, why arent tanks granted the same privalege on land?

Tanks could be used the same way, make them vaulnerable during the initial fight, but not able to fight back. It doesnt seem fair that its one way but not the other. And it especially doesnt seem fair that my friend didnt tell us about this rule before it came back and bit us in the ass.

We stopped the game before this act to find out which way was right. Because if the transports are allowed to drop off its forces then the allies basically lost because 3 bombers and a fighter will be destroyed. However, I could have destroyed a similar force with my tanks but was told I could not because they couldnt go through a conquered territory until next turn.

Just doesnt seem fair…

whats the official rules? we couldnt find anything about transports unloading after the coastal territory was won.
