Which PC version is correct one?

@Jay_Herk There was a “Revised Orders” sheet that came with this version, which answered questions regarding the changes. The answers provided there for your questions are:

Many players had observed that tanks seemed a worse buy than infantry. An attack with six tanks against ten infantry was skewed toward the infantry. Even if you won, your tanks were sitting ducks for a counterattack. Now six tanks are about equal in value to ten infantry. The pieces are bolder in color because we wanted people to be able to tell who’s who from across the room.

I hope this helps.

@ponef that’s okay, not an issue anymore. I’ll delete the post

@blitzkrieg:

Hi,

i’m new, and play A&A since december, so i’m not quite good yet and still discovering new options. we started a game yesterday, and i play axis but japan is getting tricky.

it’s J2 now and this is the situation:
i had unfortunate rolls on china so i couldn’t take it but i got rid of the PH fleet pretty easy. (lost the sub)

-UK fleet: BB is together with the US transports and destroyer on the east coast, no UK transports left in the atlantic so no pressure in the next round for germany. the indian fleet is in SZ33.
-the RAF (5 fig, 1bom) wiped out my baltic fleet and is now located at caucasus.
-manchung is taken by 5 rus inf.
-kwangtung IC, 2 fig
-FIC 3 inf, 2 fig, 1 tank
-india 5 uk inf
-china 1 us inf
-sinkiang i us inf, 2 rus inf, 1 rus tank, 1 rus fig.
-japan 4 inf, 2 art, 1 bomb.

i was thinking of taking china with 2 inf and 3-4 fig from FIC.
then take (non combat moves) 2 inf from manilla to kwangtung 2 fig, and my AA and 1 inf to FIC.and locate 4 fig
locate my FIC fleet next to kwangtung, my other fleet in 60.

then drop an AA and 1 tank at japan, trans at 60 and 3 inf in kwangtung
which leaves to:
FIC 2 inf, AA, 1 tank, 4 fig
china 1 or 2 inf
kwangtung 5 inf, 2 fig.

so now my fleets are pretty save, and only my transport next to FIC will probably be destroyed.

there’s 1 us fig at persia and 1fig/1 bom at alaska. uk can’t reach the fleet but may take FIC with good rolls. but then the raf will be way thinner.

please help me out, is this the best solution?

cheers,

BB

First priority should be to recapture Manchuria, which should be easy with all your air power and BB bombards.  Then China , Sink, India.

You did not mention whether the USA was massing a Pacific fleet.  Assuming not, there’s not alot of pressure on Japan, so just try to focus on the best targets where you can take out the most enemy troops with least loss and also balance that against IPC gain per territory.

In this case, you can take out 5 inf with relatively little loss, and the gain is 3 IPC versus 2 in China, so thats your best choice.

See this thread in player help.

To be honest, I always determine my build units after determining all my attacks.  Actually screwed me up in a F2F game because I couldnt move the pieces into the territory being attacked without giving up my right to buy units.

But in PBF it’s easier.  No one is looking over your shoulder, so you can write out all your attacks, move the pieces on the board, look at the situation, determine what your NCMs are going to be (most likely - or even permanently if none of your attacks need dice) then see what the board looks like and figure out what you will build from that.

@ncscswitch:

Someone posted a patch for it on another thread… not sure where.

Im going to have to find it then.  Ill still give modifying my abattlemap folder files if all else fails.

You can still buy the pieces for most of the games. goto: hasblo/customer service/replacement parts/buy tanks,ships cannons or Infantry packs at 5 bucks each, they also sell more IC and AA guns.

I played it on the hardest level on the “turn based” game and destroyed it the first time i played it. The AI is horrible.
