Rule modifications, please…

@Krieghund:

Welcome, yeomans!

Submarines can be attacked by air units in this game.  Of course, they will only get one shot before the sub(s) can withdraw.

You may be thinking of the rule that says subs can’t hit air units, or you may have read something concerning later versions of A&A in which air units are unable to hit subs without a friendly destroyer present.

The underlined portion was a totally new thing for us when we started playing 1942.2 (after playing the classic version for so long).  I can see the idea behind it though.  Helps preserve the sub a bit better from what we’ve seen.

Yes, in the context I was speaking the semi-decent price is in the future, as you were speaking of Risk Anniversary Ed.  If AA50 goes out of print for good and rises to crazy prices I don’t think it will be the standard global AA game.  Though, with the internet making it all pretty much free anyway (play-by-forum etc.) I could be wrong.

@Scarface:

  " A captured enemy territory with an industrial complex will give you limited unit placement on your next turn. It will be equal to the territory’s IPC value.

Scareface? Thats actually no problem Votswagon. You are uk, russia’s capital has gone down,you capture karelia from the germans. You have just captured an ENEMY territory!! GET IT!!! I don’t like your smug attitude either, when we are trying to answer your question!

If IC’s were limited, then abandoning Karelia may indeed be a viable strat (especially if SBR’s were limitted to IPC value of the territory as well).

But, without IC restrictions, the only difference between Russia standing her ground in Karelia and standing her ground in Moscow is that… if they fail in Karelia they have ONE MORE SHOT at holding against Germany, with a UK and possibly a US counter-attack in Karelia to protect them in the interim.

The rules were changed to make the game better.

Please, note that the board is not the same as in 1st ed. rules.

I suggest you try the game as is while you wait to see if you get an answer to your search.

1)Try your local(if you have one)fantasy/historical/miniature game store. Ask specifically for First Ed. Rules! They may be able to get them or tell you where to find them if they don’t have it.

2)Also try an advertisement in your local paper. Try the big local pare for a month on Sunday/Wdnesdays for example. If no bites try a couple of small weekly neighborhood newspapers for a month.

3)You might also try a pull-tab flyer (like babysitters or at home businesses use) in some local food, hardware, drug stores (wherever there’s a bulletin board.)

I suggest you write…

Cut between the A&A phone #s.
Recommend you take a stapler with you.
Tacks will be taken by others. Tape will not hold.

Just to make sure, that is NOT a rule used with the board game, just a glitch with the computer game.

thanks. i knew it was legal, i was just looking for a specific example to disprove his logic.

Z_,
That wasn’t luck. That was STUPID STRATEGY on japan’s part. Take the Pacific isles, Alaska, and W CAN? GREAT! No pressure on USSR. Whoopie! :wink:
