@Matt-Hyra thank you for the response and its pretty cool to get it straight from the lead designer!

I just listend to your interivew on Board Game Nation and you actually answered it there so I was just a bit early in my question. It makes sense that a plane finding a small scout car in the middle of desert would be diffcult. You mentioned that would be the case in the interveiw when you visited Morocco and traveled in the Sahara Desert.

My 13-year-old son and I play Axis and Allies and we have all the board games for A&A, except Anniversary. I’ll get that one eventually. We are loving North Africa A&A, so far. It’s really dynamic. Please keep the A&A theater campaigns coming!

Side note, my grandfather fought on the US side in North Africa and Italy.

@mainah

removed 2 tanks from Germany, 12 IPCs

the next German turn showed 51 IPCs

added transport, 7 IPCs into sea zone 113
added art in Germany, 4 IPCs,

remaining IPCs is 1, 12-7-5=1

so next turn Germany should start with 52 IPCs

Can air units attack scout cars in the Sahara Desert?!bolded text

@mainah I moved my sub to attack the destroyer and transport then decided I didn’t want to do that. I tried to edit the move and messed up, so I excited and there wasn’t any combat either way. I’m reloading. Not sure if you are fine with that, but I wasn’t sure how to do my noncombat, since there wasn’t any combat besides moving a tank into a territory then out.
