Axis & Allies Revised (Dead)

[PeregrineV]

Well, I tried reading the rules and strategy tips. Roughly it is Buy tech-------> Buy Units ------> Combat -----> Non-Combat Moves -----> Income and place units, right?
What I'm not too sure now is about what units I have in my territories to work with, can you give me a rundown on that?

I've updated the map in the first post; you can see everything there.

Your list is not quite correct. It is missing Combat Move (between purchases and Combat). If you want a unit to participate in one of your attacks, you need to move it during Combat Move, before

any

combat is initiated. Once you've moved all the units you want to attack with into all the areas you want to attack, then you can do Combat.

Is the map and board accurate as to our game? If so, very nice!!

Thanks, though it's just a screenshot from TripleA, the engine I'm using to follow the game with.

[DiplomatDC]

Sorry for the late reply, I'll try to make sense of what's going on and make moves later tonight. If Aronis wants to make additional moves with his planes and whatnot I'll let him actually.

[DiplomatDC]

Buy 1 transport, 7 infrantry and 2 tanks

[DiplomatDC]

Not doing it yet but what happens when I invade Karelia from East Europe?

Yeah, but saves me from pulling out the game and trying to keep it from being eaten/lost/trampled/etc.

Not doing it yet but what happens when I invade Karelia from East Europe?

Step 1: During the Combat Move, move the units you want to invade with into Karelia. They will sit there until you are done with Combat Move. You can make other moves as well, such as moving additional units into Karelia from other territories, or making additional attacks. You can make as many combat moves as you like, under the following restrictions:

• Each unit may only participate in one attack during the turn.
• Each unit may only move up to its maximum Move during the turn. Most land units have a move of 1, tanks and sea units have a move of 2, fighters have a move of 4 and bombers have a move of 6.
• Each unit you move during Combat Move must enter an enemy territory or a sea zone with enemy units during its move (with the exception of transports/battleships making amphibious assaults). Additionally, entering an area with enemy units (even if that unit is just a factory) immediately ends a land or sea unit's move, even if it would have had movement left.
• Any land or sea unit you move during Combat Move cannot move during Noncombat Move.
• Transports can load land units during this phase up to their maximum capacity (1 of any unit + 1 infantry), as long as the unit(s) have not moved. Being carried on a transport counts as the unit's entire move for the turn.
• A transport can unload its units into an enemy territory. This is called an amphibious assault. Unloading ends a transport's move.
• A transport making an amphibious assault can, but does not need to, participate in a battle itself.
• A battleship can participate in an amphibious assault (bombardment) provided there are no enemy ships forcing it to participate in a sea battle instead.
• Air units must end their combat move in an area with enemy units, with enough movement left over to land in a friendly territory during Noncombat Move. Only territories you have owned from the beginning of the turn are valid landing sites; you may not land in a territory you just captured this turn.
• Fighters may land on a friendly carrier instead, as long as the fighter and the carrier end their move in the same sea zone.
• Whenever an air unit enters (flies over) a territory with an enemy antiaircraft gun, the aa gun rolls one die. On a roll of 1, the air unit is destroyed. There is no limit to the number of air units an aa gun can shoot at in a turn. If the air unit flies over multiple aa guns, they all get to fire.
• Air units may not capture territories.

Step 2: During Combat, resolve combat in each area that contains both your units and enemy units. For instance, if you had combat moved all units from Eastern Europe (2 infantry 1 tank 1 fighter) and Norway (3 infantry 1 fighter) into Karelia, then you would resolve combat there as 5 infantry 1 tank 2 fighters vs. 3 infantry 1 fighter. Each combat is resolved separately, and you must finish one combat before beginning the next. A combat is resolved as follows:

• Each combat consists of a number of rounds. At the end of each round, if there are still units on both sides, the attacker may choose to retreat.
• Each round, each unit on each side gets to roll a die. If that die is less than or equal to the unit's Attack (for an attacking unit) or Defense (for a defending unit), that unit scores a hit.
• The attacker rolls for all his units first. After he rolls, the defender chooses one casualty for each of the attacker's hits. Then the defender rolls for all his units (including the casualties), and the attacker chooses casualties. Finally, all casualties are removed.
• If the attacker decides to retreat, he must retreat all his units. The land or sea units must all retreat to the same area, and must retreat to an area from which at least one of them came. Air units stay put; they will land during Noncombat Move. Exception: If the combat included at least one amphibious assault, then only the air units retreat. All land units (even ones that didn't come from an amphibious assault) must fight to the bitter end.
• Submarines, both the attacker's and the defender's, get to fire first in each round. Their casualties get removed before the rest of the units can roll, unless an enemy destroyer is present.
• Submarines can submerge at the end of a round, unless an enemy destroyer is present. This essentially retreats them, but does not require any other units to retreat, and they remain in the same sea zone. If a defending submarine submerges, it will not block enemy noncombat movement this turn.
• Battleships supporting an amphibious assault get to fire once at the beginning of combat. Their casualties are removed before the first round begins.
• Battleships take two hits to destroy. The first time a battleship would be taken as casualty, mark it as damaged instead. It does not become a casualty to be removed until it takes a second hit. At the end of combat, if it was not destroyed, it is fully repaired.
• Antiaircraft guns and factories do not participate in combat and may never be chosen as casualties. If the territory they are in is captured, they become the property of the attacker.
• If a transport making an amphibious assault is also part of a sea battle, the sea battle must be resolved first before the land battle. If the transport is destroyed, the land units it is carrying are also destroyed and may not participate in the land battle. If the transport retreats, its land units must stay on board and may not participate in the land battle.

Any advice from here, my Japanese mate? Get Archangel? Get the southern European fleets off?

[DeathNote]

While it might be tempting to get Archangel, I wouldn't attack there yet.

Remember that you have fighters and bombers who could have helped in that attack.

Germany/Balkans/Ukraine all had air support that can attack with you and get back to their starting location. Just make sure you have infantry to support it.

[DeathNote]

Noncombat moves should include you moving things to the boarder. Eastern Europe is safe for now so you can transfer those troops. Belorussia can't be attacked so they can move as well.

Algeria to Libya.

Southern Europe to Libya.

Germany to Norway maybe?

You have lots of infantry to put down in Southern and Germany so moving out those infantry there isn't a bad idea.

[Thurhame]

How many times do I have to say this? ALL MOVEMENT OF UNITS INTO COMBAT MUST BE DONE BEFORE ANY COMBAT IS RESOLVED!!!

In this case: Diplomat wants to attack Karelia with the units in Eastern Europe, Belorussia, and Norway. He is also considering other attacks, but is not sure what they should be.

Diplomat moves 2 infantry 1 tank 1 fighter from Eastern Europe into Karelia. He DOES NOT ROLL ANY DICE YET.
Diplomat moves 3 infantry from Belorussia into Karelia. He DOES NOT ROLL ANY DICE YET.
Diplomat moves 3 infantry 1 fighter from Norway into Karelia. He DOES NOT ROLL ANY DICE YET.
Once he has decided on all his attacks and moved all his units accordingly, THEN he can begin combat.

[Thurhame]

Diplomat can now:

• Support the combat in Karelia by moving additional units in.
  
• Move units to make other attacks. DO NOT ROLL DICE YET!
  
• End his Combat Move now and commence combat in Karelia with Germany's 8 infantry 1 tank 2 fighters vs. Russia's 3 infantry 1 fighter. Diplomat will then be
  done
  with combat move - he will not be able to make any other attacks. This is your
  FINAL WARNING
  .

[DiplomatDC]

Sorry ><
Alright, so anyway, taking anything else isn't viable, West Russia's going to be lost either way so:

Yup. You'll have to find different destinations for your bomber, western fighter, and the two fighters in Karelia.

[Thurhame]

Use Transport in SZ 5 to move 2 Infantry to Norway

2 infantry from where? I assume Germany, but I just want to make sure.
