Don’t rock the boat, but if this gets taken down I hope Larry or someone of influence can understand how well this  game plays on touch screens and the huge market there is. I would pay for high quality digital versions of all A&A games. I still enjoy the 1998 Hasbro version and don’t understand why they did not continue with that format.

Anyone else tried this out? It plays fairly well, AI could be more challenging, and a few bugs around blitzing, planes not crashing when carriers sink etc…
It still can’t replace the value that face to face games have but my 8 yr old nephew and I played it on a 3 hour car ride on a 10" tablet, it plays so well as a travel version. I hope the creator expands, at the very least he shows how well this game works on a touch device.

@Chicochico:

I think units retreating from a contested territory can’t board transports.

Units leaving a contested territory can ONLY enter other contested territories or friendly territories (transports are neither)

It says on page 15 paragraph 3 under land units, “if they are moved by transport, they may also remain at sea” therefor it implies they can be moved by sea from a contested territory but only to be moved into an existing friendly or already contested location

Movement clarification please: Units leaving a contested territory can only enter other contested territories or friendly territories, that means that units boarding a transport from a contested territory can not be dropped off to participate in a amphibious assault? But they can be dropped off for an amphibious reinforcement? Is this correct?

Here’s a thought: with the one capital shorter victory condition (this excludes Moscow) this board is perfect for a Kill Japan First strategy. My ideas are to hit Manchuria with everything that USSR can send, drop an aircraft carrier in Australia with UK and consolidate all fleet/air, and build all Pacific with USA, by turn 2 you can have a multinational fleet off Hawaii that rivals Japans. Give up India to Japan so the unchallenged & strong Germans won’t ever get that factory. Who cares if Moscow falls turn 3 or 4, Germany won’t be able to turn around and take UK before Tokyo falls. Hopefully if Japan didn’t know what is coming they will buy a transport turn 1 and start amphibious assaults on the emptied India and liberation of Manchuria. Give them a 1-2 punch of America then UK and hope you get good dice. (I know this is very vague strategy I haven’t sat down and played it out with a unsuspecting opponent)

Blind luck always helps, with smaller map its much easier to reinforce Moscow with the RAF and as the allies don’t worry about the 2 IPC Africa and throw down attacks at western Europe and Berlin itself

Do Seazones 6 & 8 connect? It looks like there is a water boarder between the two SZ.

Cyprus is a good landing zone for British air after making a strafe of under-protected Italian transports.
