Fisrt Gen Con Picture for the new Axis and Allies Pacific and Europe game!!!

If Russia is aggressive in its first move, all things considered, it’s game over for the Axis. It’s why I favor a house rule that forces the USA to spend a certain amount of money in the Pacific Theater-and units purchased can only be used in that theater of operations…

I thought for Spring42’ 2nd edition, the bid goes to the allies? I’m confused here.

Right.  Just to clarify, your destroyers and combined fleet can happily sail right past enemy subs and transports.  You need to spend 8 IPC on a destroyer to use it as a speed bump.  Even then, you can destroy the blocking destroyer with air and a sub maybe, then non-combat move past that contested sea-zone leaving behind only the sub and the attacking air units non-combat move to where the fleet will end up.  It gets even harder to slow down a multi-national fleet, your ally clears the blocker then you can move 2 spaces and do combat before a new blocker can be placed, unless the defender was also multi-national….

you need to 1) stay defensive for 3 rounds, then go offensive
