You put either 2 soldiers or one tank on a transport, move the transport no further than 2 spaces, unload the transport and fight. If you have battleships, they can shoot once at the bad guys on land. What's confusing about it?

I have just a couple questions if you don’t mind. 1) When attackers retreat rather than push the attack, do they just go back to where they started before their combat moves? 2) If there is a neighboring enemy territory that is unoccupied, can any unit enter it during the non combat move phase to claim it as their own? Thanks!

In an amphibious assualt, "Air units defending in a territory can fight only in that territory. They cannot participate in the sea combat." So, they can't actually choose to defend the adjacent sea zone. (See page 15)

I have a question I would like to know what exactly do I attack with multiple units do my chances increase with more units so if I have 3 tanks does that multiple with 3x3 so 9 or less or what and another question can u just make a quick video for the attack and do I throw as many dices as many different units I have ?
@YNNEB-hz3be3 жыл бұрын
No its simpler than that you put the amount of dice the same number as the units you have if you dont have enough dice you can use the same 4 dice that the game gives You take the type of unit amount and put the same amount of dice near the battle strip but only for that unit and this is how it works When multiple units attack each unit attacks for themselves Example: i am attacking siberia with 2 infinatry against 3 infantry My units role the dice and my dice are 5 and 1 so only one hit if you oderstood the video you know what happens next

Not sure where you're buying this for $50, but it's only $20 on Amazon right now. This version is inexpensive and the easiest to learn and quickest to play for new players. There may be more advanced versions out there, but they're much more expensive and take longer to play. If you're not sure if you'll like Axis & Allies this is a pretty cheap investment to find out.

If an Carrier has planes when a two-part amphibious assault takes place can the planes take off or does this have to be done before the assault takes place?
@harsh-rules7 жыл бұрын
I think you can remove the planes as long as they can declare a safe landing zone besides the Carrier. Essentially, they will move during the Non-combat phase. If they are going to attack a different target you can declare this as well. (Once again need a safe landing place.) Otherwise, if the planes have no place to land. (The Carrier is lost) then you lose the planes as well.
@gav88277 жыл бұрын
Harsh Rules: Board Game Tutorials So just move them beside the Carrier?
@harsh-rules7 жыл бұрын
That would work. Just declare to the other players where they will land. If there is no safe place to land, then you probably can't do it. However, if there is you're just clarifying where the planes will fly to during the non-combat phase.
@gav88277 жыл бұрын
Harsh Rules: Board Game Tutorials Im still a tad bit confused so do the planes move to a new sea zone or stay on the same spot as the Carrier?
@harsh-rules7 жыл бұрын
The planes stay in the stay in their current sea zone until the non-combat phase and then they move to the safe landing zone. If the carrier doesn't move they stay with the carrier. If the carrier moves out they stay behind.

Not having enough pieces is unacceptable though. If you pay 30 bucks for a game, the least you can expect is to have enough pieces to go by. When I set up my game, there were not enough chips for me to cover the entire setup. Fortunately I have a version of 1942, so I just changed out everything.

It's like Risk in that you fight battles and take over territories. It's got a lot more complexity though. It's WWII so you play on teams. Each nation has several land, sea, and air units all with different attack and defense capabilities and movement ranges. You also get income from the territories you control an use that to purchase different units and customize your armies. There's a ton of other cool stuff I'm probably forgetting. If you like Risk and want more historical detail and strategy then this is a good game.
