Quick Question

Okay,

Thanks for responding and confirming Drunken Cat ( love the name! ).

Thank you. Had not seen that and was unhappy to contradict Kriegkund, but could not see any difference with what I had said. Now I realise without a japanese DOW against UK/Anzac a Japanese player could have moved through an occupied sea hex on its way to a Dutch territory. Now it cannot. Though, of course, my way and knowing I was provoking war with UK/Anzac, I would have attacked them too and, therefore, not moved illegally through a sea zone . You have to love Japan.

yeah, its my mistake. the rulebook says that the US gets their 40 ipc boost in the turn after a japanse attack on a allied territory. China is not included

thanks! you rock!  :-D

That’s what I was assuming but for some reason it seemed odd. Compared to the old AAP, it gives the Brits/ANZAC a bit of an advantage over the Japanese.

Record response time BTW! Thank you.

Yes, Air and ground units can kill each other.  You have to understand that an Infantry unit contains infantry and all the support units that go with it.  Some of the support units will include AA units.  Axis and Allies is set up to be a big picture view of the war, not as much detail as you might imagine.  I can understand why it becomes confusing when we have artillery, armor and infantry represented seperately.  In earlier games, we didn’t have arty and it was understood they were part of the other manuver units.

Enjoy the game!

I have a negative comment on your comment about negativity, but this time I will keep my comment to myself. :-D

You guess correctly.  Your transports need an escort when amphibiously assaulting an island with an airbase.
