Where can I find actual examples. My rule book only has examples without altitude changes.
If I want to go down just one altitude, is that really a special movement. So you can’t go down one altitude and then do a tight turn?

Actually purchased stands that were not compatible. They were to thin. I have the angels 20 starter set. Any help welcome.

It seems the atlitude you plane is at, except for crashing is irrelevant. I must be missing something. How does your altitude matter.

I found where

Anyone know where I can buy plastic stands for air force minatures

Just had time to check this post. I will look into what you sent me. Thank you very much. MOst helpful.

The avalon hill website seems to no longer sell or have any information on miniatures. I found some on amazon but not sure exactily what I am getting.

Anyone know a website where I can see all the minatures they sell.

I bought a minature set for the planes intending to use them for the overall ground war, but it seemed the set was designed for planes alone battles. The were huge and the stands took up the entire hex,

Also lost my rule book.

Can anyone help.

Your answers was great, covered everything and was a big help, thank you.

I’m sorry, I didn’t ask the question clear enough to satisfy the argument.

A carrier with 2 planes on it can both move (Both meaning not both planes, but the planes and the carrier) into an enemy sea zone, attack, and if it wins, the planes can then land on the carrier.

The argument is if the carrier has two planes on it, the carrier can’t move into combat or the planes that took off the carrier into the enemy sea zone cannot land on the carrier if carrier also moved into the hostile sea zone and conducted combat.

The rule book only states “Any fighters belonging to the aircraft carrier owner move independently of the carrier. These fighters can make a combat move from the carrier’s original sea zone, or they can remain in the original sea zone until the Noncombat Move phase…Your aircraft carrier can move to or remain in a sea zone where one of your fighters will end its noncombat move (and in fact, it must do so if it is able).”

I think that last part, “Your aircraft carrier can move to or remain in a sea zone where one of your fighters will end its noncombat move” Is where they get that idea.

Please give me a good answer although it is hard to argue that you can do something without a specific rule stating that you can.  Of course doesn’t say you can’t in any way.

I was looking through the posts on the “Harris Game Design” forums and I saw something about a new Advanced Axis in the works with detail way beyond Global, like retreat rules, sub hunts, victory points (each city has a different point value) ect,

The posts are old, any word on what happened?

I posted this question twice on the forum with a automatic reply that my post will first be reviewed by moderators and then posted if appropriate. The question was never posted and I don’t know why, any one with some insight?

Although I would like an official moderator to advise on the issue as they might not take the answer from someone who is not a moderator.

There are other versions where the aircraft carrier has an attack value of 0 and a damaged carrier can’t be landed on.

Making sending in a carrier to attack useless.  So I think they got used to playing that version and assumed a carrier cannot attack.  Although even in those versions if you know you are going to loose your planes or there is an island you can land on, you can still send in the carrier as cannon fodder, but they played that version as though you can’t send in a carrier.

They looked up the rules and tried to argue that in certain places of the rule book, in was implicit that you can’t send a carrier to attack.  It was a pretty weird conversation but nevertheless, I agreed to post the question.

A carrier with 2 planes on it can both move into an enemy sea zone, attack, and if it wins, the planes can then land on the carrier.

An obvious answer but there was a disagreement and I agreed to post the question.

So naval units only block my movement for one round, is that correct. I move into the sea zone, if they don’t attack me, the next turn I can keep going, exercising my full movement.

When I enter a sea zone with my capital warships, and the sea zone is occupied by other enemy capital warships, do I have to conduct one round of battle, or

can I just stop my movement, then if on the enemy’s turn they do not attack me, on my turn again I get to keep moving, essentially, the enemy does not stop my movement, they only slow me down.

The scenario.

Two Moscow adjacent territories are under CP control. One Moscow adjacent territory in contested. Another territory not adjacent to Moscow is contested. Moscow is contested and about to fall removing the Russian Revolution option. If the Moscow adjacent territory goes under CP control, the Russian Revolution happens saving Moscow.

On Moscow’s turn, knowing it can’t hold Moscow, simply withdraws his troops from the one Moscow adjacent territory that is contested back to Moscow.

The question, the instant it withdrawals its troops back to Moscow that was contested, does that territory immediately goes under CP full control, thus fulfilling the Russian Revolution condition at the end of the Russian turn, saving Moscow.

The argument against this is: The minute Russian troops pull out, the CP power in that territory can’t place his marker and gain its income until that CP powers next turn, thus allowing them to attack Moscow the next turn, taking Moscow and avoiding the Russian Revolution.

The one thing that can change to give balance and a major oversight by the creators are the submarine rules. Even before the Germans began unrestricted submarine warfare, they did major damage to the British. After they began unrestricted warfare, they did even more damage before the with US assistance, they removed the threat.

The submarine rules are way to weak for the Germans. Submarine damage should be automatic, no rolling. It should be $1 damage per sub to start, $2 once they begin unrestricted submarine warfare.

This can easily be thwarted a turn or two after the US comes into the war and before that, the Germans can’t put to much into submarine warfare due to the demands on the eastern front. But it will slow down the US and British.

Can a fighter fly one space, attack with ground troops, then fly back to where it came from?

Can a fighter fly one space over a sea zone, attack warships, then fly back to where it came from?

Important as Austria is about to send its navy and a fighter from the Balkans against the Italian navy in my current game.

OK so I saw it say that if I take the capital, the colonies of that capital don’t go to me. That makes sense.

But it doesn’t say what happens if I take a colony. Wouldn’t take a nations colony by force be tantamount to a declaration of war.

If I invade a neutral or unfriendly nation like Portugal, what happens with its colonies.

And vice versa, if I invade a Portugal colony, what happens with Portugal.
