2 Stupid Rules Questions

Maybe another option could be playing Attack! or Attack! Deluxe with them first, it’s similar to Axis & Allies but not so complex.

Yes to all.

In combat movement yes. In non-combat movement no. It is the same as an in and out blitz.

Great, thanks!

That’s true. AA guns can move 1 space. They can even be transported. AA guns can never do a combat move though, they can only be moved around during noncombat. You can have more than one AA gun in a territory but only one AA gun fires during a combat.

Here is the complete rulebook.

@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! :)

It depends who you are playing with. With all of the on-line clubs, it is allowable to unload into multiple territories in non-combat.

For the combat move, it varies between the clubs. The play by e-mail clubs (which mimic face to face rules the best) do not allow a transport to unload in multiple territories.

The CD clubs do let you unload into multiple territories during combat. However, they have allowed this because this is their way of dealing with one of the many bugs in the CD.

When I play with new players, this is one of the rules I get clarified before we start as it can be a pain to sort out later. As long as both parties are playing by the same interpretation, you should be okay.
