Hi,

We would like to play with Japanese kamikaze fighters.

Is there a standard rule how to make a kamikaze attack?

If not, we have made up our own household rule: The kamikaze fighter selects one ship to attack, needs to survive the AAA fire, then attacks on a 5. If the dice shows 5 or less, both the fighter and the ship (even battleships) explode. If the dice is a 6, the kamikaze fighter crashes in the sea and the ship survives. Makes sense?

Hi,

We have a question how airplanes on a carrier can defend themselves.

Assume the following scenario:

1. An American aircraft carrier has one fighter on deck.
2. The American aircraft carrier is attacked by three Japanese cruisers. All cruisers miss with their first strikes.
3. The American aircraft carrier and the fighter can now defend themselves. And here comes the question:

If the fighter defends against the three cruisers, will the cruisers have the right to fire all their AAAs? That would mean that they can roll 3x3 = 9 dices, which is pretty heavy fire for the single defending fighter.

Are there other options/rules?
Can the figher decide to not defend and avoid the cruisers’ AAAs?
Can the fighter select one cruiser to defend against, and only fight against one AAA?
Or will the cruisers loose their AAA capabilities when the fighter defends?

Thanks for the answers!

We have a question regarding deployment of new ships on sea zones with enemy ships.

Consider the following example:

1. UK has a battleship in sea zone 15 (between Italy and Libya).
2. Germany has an industry complex in Italy.
3. Germany mobilizes a battleship at the industry complex in Italy.

Can Germany then deploy the battleship in sea zone 15?
Or must the UK battleship be destroyed by another ship/airplane before?

Thanks for the warm welcome and the replies.

We are playing Axis & Allies 1942 Second Edition.

Hi,

We have a concrete question on a specific case:

1. Brazil is first an American territory without any troops.
2. Germany performs a naval attack and puts one infantry on Brazil. Now Brazil is German.
3. USA sends a bomber to Brazil and kills the German infantry. USA does not put any infantry on Brazil.

At this point, Brazil is without any troops. One can argue that Brazil goes back to USA by default. Another one argues that Brazil still belongs to Germany since that was the last occupation power.

Does Brazil belongs to USA or Germany at this point?
