DICEY for A&A Europe??

@dustpan8761 said in Question on IPC Middle East in Europe edition:

When playing axis and allies Europe do the allies get any IPCs per turn for the Middle East?

They do not. The printed value on the territories apply only when/if Germany captures them in which case the Allies must decide who pays Germany that number of IPCs. The relevant rule is on page 19/20 of the Europe rulebook.

Specifically, the “note” on page 20 reads, “The loss of Middle Eastern countries does not lower the Allied players’ income on the chart.”

The Middle East is strictly a liability to the Allies in this game.

@Aretaku:

I’m also thinking that an easy way to leave the British Bonus Infantry rule alone while keeping the game balanced would be to connect Iran to India, and allow for amphib assaults of Egypt via the Red Sea. That way Japan actually has the option of entering the theatre without having to go all the way around the freaking world.  :-P

Yes, connecting the Red Sea interboard space to Egypt and India to Iran makes sense.

No problem with accurate IPC, and setup.
Balance is easily solved by victory condition and game rules.
(rather than false data)

Since the map is Europe alone its an opportunity to use a real map. Download a free vector map and go from there.

someone mentioned having to capture both axis capitals.
it wouldn’t make it much different because the capture of germany will pretty much end the game anyways, and if only italy is captured, the germans will retake it.

xxstefanx, this move frees your med fleet for the atlantic theater.
There are three difficulties:

It is a horrible feeling losing one or two fighters. One is the average. :cry: The destroyer has to move with the btls to gibraltar. The UK may land fighters here after a 2 fig 1 bomb attack on a lone btls Malta has to be taken. With only one transport and without any bombardment this is a tight fight. Should it be lost the trans will be sunk.

Solution? Spend 20 ipc for 1 trans 1 des on T1, skip malta, take Gibraltar and have a turbo supply tube of 1 des 2 trans which this lonely, pesky fighter cannot attack.

I have a brand new, unplayed AXIS AND ALLIES EUROPE board game which I am selling for £40.00. Please email me if interested.

a great way to use tanks is to place them in belorussia guarded by a bunch of troops, artilery, fighters bombers, and a aa gun. that way if i decide to become offensive i can have them attack and place along the borders of baltic states, east poland, and western ukraine. or if u see them building up forces on one side u can strengthen that area since bessarabia is worthless i suggest leting germany gain control of it so i don’t have to waste troops to defend it. and if germany takes either baltic states, east poland, and western ukraine i can use the stack defense to regain it with artilery and troops. if they decide to use bombers and or fighters to attack me i will have the aa gun to lessen the force and troops to take the hits until they retreat or are eliminated.incase the germanys get cocky and try to take you like they did the french go around. in this case load up transports with troops, ship them to drop them off in leningrad. this should stand up long enough for the americans and brits to break through the atlantic and land troops on france to pull away troops from the eastern front. P.S. Russia should work on building land forces and america and the brits can send figheters and bombers to assist in the halt and waste of german forces and resources. as long as u stay lucky in rolling this should hould up until the americanos and brits to land in france.
Peace and happy hunting
