Hey, I’m playing Axis and Allies Europe and I don’t have time to figure out all the updates and etc.  I’m playing Axis and Allies 1940 OOB setup; what is the “fair” bid for the game?  Thanks.

This strategy sounds really fun to try, particularly if the US player doesn’t know it’s coming.  However, I can’t help but notice that Italy did not participate in your attack.  Why?  Italy could easily have gotten 3 loaded transports and maybe some cruiser, BB bombards.  I think that if the German and Japanese player eliminate the US, even if the UK  is able to take Italy, it’s still a winning situation for the axis.  And Germany will probably liberate Italy eventually, but I don’t think the same could be said for the US.

I am currently painting my AAG pieces.  I am a little over haflway through, and I think I am doing a pretty good job with them.  I was considering painting my AAR pieces and either selling the pieces of all 5 countries together (but not the game), or selling the game with all of the painted pieces.  I would sell it on ebay, most likely, and post a few messages on here to get people interested to look at them.  Which way do you think would be better to sell, and how much do you think I could get for it?

Or idk what strategy you are basing this on, so maybe Germany uses those subs in a naval battle, I can see that.  But eitehr way I think G3 Sea Lion is best becuase Germany has a 71 IPC’s to spend G2.

You’re counting an armor and an infantry from Quebec, but there is no way the UK should have a way to transport them to England on UK1.  Germany should sink the transport and destroyer in that sea zone G1.

@Krieghund:

A power may temporarily take control of a territory originally belonging to one of its allies (gaining its income and the use of any ICs and/or AA guns there) only when recapturing that territory from an enemy power while the original owner’s capital is held by the enemy.  See page 20 of the Europe Rulebook.  This has been true since Classic.

There is no exception made for French territories.

The “only” is not on page 20 of the rulebook.  In fact, this situation isn’t addressed at all in the rulebook, and that is probably why we have a thread about it. To me, it seems more intuitive for the income to go to the UK.

Oh ok.  I forgot about the factory in Southern France.  I haven’t played a game where that is taken by the Germans yet.  Although there is now a thread about that strategy in the forum.

Yes, UK can collect the income if it occupies that territory.  Once France’s capital is liberated that income will go back to France.  If the axis take French West Africa, the income goes to the axis.  If the allies take it back again, it will go to the allied army to liberate it from axis control (assuming France is still axis-controlled).

Yes, what I was asking is How did Germany get to Iraq before Italy.  I usually take Egypt turn 2 with Italy, that and blitz a tank through to Iraq turn 3, or maybe walk a guy in there for turn 4.

Germany would have to spare a troop to walk into Italy turn 1. Load him on a transport G2.  Walk him off the transport G3 into Syria, then into Iraq G4.  That is the only way Germany could possibly get Iraq, but then, why isn’t that German troop chillin in Egypt and collecting a 5 IPC national objective?

How is Iraq German?
