So we finally received our copy through Amazon in the Netherlands and we have multiple rule questions we can’t figure out using the rulebook. So if Matt Hyra or Kevin Chapman could clarify it would be well appreciated :).

1. How many sea mines can one country buy on one turn and how many can be placed of those in the same sea zone during deployment?
2. Can UK buy ships in her 3x 12 RP convoy zones before round 1 or only ground combat troops?
3. The US can requisition 1 free French unit of each type (so either 1 infantry or 1 tank) if they control Oran. Do the US have to pay the french RP value for this infantry or tank from their own income? If so what is the advantage for the US to do so since the french attack/def tank values are worse than the own US troops.
4. When do you have to declare the target of German anti-tank guns combined with German stuka’s in 1 attack. They both have the targeted attack capability. Can you declare the stuka target AFTER rolling the anti-tank gun or do you have to declare both targets before any dice are rolled?

That is it so far. We probably encounter more as we play along…

@Matt-Hyra Understood, thanks for the clarification, looks like our UK player made some serious error by losing his supply to the Axis and having Cairo unsupplied!

@Witt Yeah definitely!

In this scenario I don’t believe there are any scout cars or planes in Cairo, so that could mean 1 German infantry will take Cairo as the defenders can’t shoot back or retreat and therefore surrender…

Thanks @Witt and @Matt-Hyra for all replies, it’s clear now.

New question that pops up in our game:
What if Cairo is attacked by 1-2 axis units, has 13 units to defend, but has no supply … When you don’t have supply you can’t fire back as defender, and you need to retreat. But you can’t retreat from Cairo? So what happens in this case? The defender stays and needs to be killed by the 1-2 axis units (who will need multiple supplies since it will take a while to kill them all), or are all defender units considered to have surrendered after 1 round of attack?

@Witt This Dutch member hasn’t received his copy through Renegade but we ordered on Amazon.us (365 Trade from MI was the seller) and had it shipped towards here in 7 days. Paid a bit extra but settled the unease mind :).

:roll: :roll: :roll:

This move by the Russian BB also came up in our game this afternoon. We decided it was not allowed since the rules state that you have to control Denmark to pass.

However we have to wait what the rule book says and if the rule book doesn’t cover this what Krieghund clarifies.

That one is not a true NO of course, but it’s from part 3 of the preview by DJensen. Krieghund also confirmed it by saying it won’t be in the global game.

We are playing a AAE40 game tomorrow but unfortunately that will have to be without NO’s unless they pop up tonight… (hint, DJensen, hint  :-D).

So far we have the following:
Germany

• 5 for denmark, norway, and a neutral or axis sweden.
• 5 for being at peace with the soviets
• 5 for each soviet VC
• 3 for having a land unit in egypt

Soviet Union
+5 for being at war, no allied units on their territories and SZ125 and controlling Archangel
+6 for each original german territory if they have all of their originals

• 2 inf in Novosibirsk while being at war with any axis

UK
+5 for getting rid of the subs in the atlantic

Italy
+5 for getting all the allied warships out of the med
+5 for southern france, egypt, and greece

USA

• 30 for being at war

France

• 4 inf when Paris is liberated

They would need to take over Gibraltar first and then sail through the big Atlantic…… Not sure if they can pull this off before the USA kicks them out.
