What questions to you have about bombers and bombing raids?
THATS IT IM GETTING AXIS AND ALLIES 1942 THANKS MAN 😂😂😂😂😂
Awesome! Thanks for watching! Let us know if you have any questions along the way.
Don't use strategic bombing of Industrial centers in Axis and Allies on line. Trust me.
Thank you, very helpful
Happy to help! Thanks for watching!
When going through the rule book this section was quite overwhelming to me 😅. This video was clear as day and really helped me in understanding how it works within the game. I was wondering, what’s your opinion about using strategic bombing raids, for example when is it ideal to use them and is it always worth it. Thanks for another clear and consistent video as always, helped a ton!
Great video!!
I learned something VERY important - the escorts do NOT get targeted by the complex AA.
I always wondered why anyone would bring escorts - now I know!!
Happy to help! Thanks for watching!
Cool video!
Thanks for watching!
Learned a lot, thanks. We started with 1941 and very quickly moved to the 1942 version. We had to get the Pacific and Europe games for our 72” global map. Please do a video on Tactical Bombers and Mechanized Infantry. My kids and I love this game
Glad this helped! We have a video in the pipeline that will lay out all the differences between 1942.2 and the 1940 games. We hope to have that out soon.
Thanks for watching!
Here's a cool video series idea: compare the rules differences for the different axis and allies games. For example, strategic bombing raids, neutrals, AA guns, national objectives, research and development, political situations, etc.
Thanks!
I have been thinking about a difference video for each game. If you know how to play 1942 2nd, here is what you need to know to play 1941, A&A Pacific, 1914, etc. Lay out the difference between each game.
What do you think?
in the version of "Risk" ( board game ) that I made, we are going to allow a certain area of a players Industrial Complex to be damaged / destroyed by a bombing raid for a period of 2-3 turns. you can destroy an entire factory complex if you have enough bombers to send to destroy each area of a players factory all in one turn. we are using Monopoly $$ in Risk instead of I.P.C's . a Factory will cost $350.00 to build after conquering an entire continent and holding it for one complete turn. Have never liked the Axis Allies rule that say's a Factory cannot be destroyed.
Sounds interesting! There is a lot of debate around the Bombing Raid rules and complexes. I am not huge fan of using them except near the end of a game to crush a country that has turtled up.
As far as destroying a complex, I think this makes bombing raids too powerful. The UK and USA can buy bomber after bomber and destroy Berlin in just a few turns.
Sounds neat, I love the risk map, but the sea zones are not very interesting
Agreed. Thanks for watching!
How does this guy not have 1K subs, keep it up man! Ps: 69th comment, nice
Thanks! We are getting there fast!
We appreciate the support!
Hi, Gary, could you make a video about industrial complex and rules about it, please?
Not a bad idea. What questions do you have about them?
Thanks for watching!
@@BoardGameNation Thanks for replying!
Lets take a look. I am playing as a Soviet Union and I want to place an industrial complex on the Soviet far east. Can I place an industrial complex where ever I want?
P.S. Sorry for My bad English language
Your English is very good!
You purchase a industrial complex during the purchase units phase. Then, in the Mobilize Units phase you can place that complex in any territory that you controlled at the beginning of your turn. The number of units that can be placed in a complex is limited to the IPC value of the territory it is in.
So, if you control it at the beginning of your turn you can build a complex in the Soviet Far East, but it will only be able to produce one unit per turn. Also, you can't build units in a complex on the same turn that it was built (or captured).
Note that this is the rule for most versions of the game, but you should check the rule for your version to make sure.
I hope that helps!
@@BoardGameNation Thank you very much!
@@sneezxy.-6648 You are welcome. Happy to help. Good luck!
Hey weird question that probably rarely would happen but if a bombing raid has damaged an industrial complex and then that territory is later seized. Does the player who gained that territory have to fix the complex or when the territory is seized does all the damage done to the complex go away?
Thanks for watching! Good question. Yes, the damage done to a complex carries over when it changes hands. It will need to be repaired by the new owners if they want to build to its capacity.
Thanks again for watching!
Or what if the attacker is both bombing and attacking on land the same territory and accidentally does the land battle first, taking the territory, must they then bomb themselves ?
Yup! No matter what way you roll, the effects of the bombing raid would happen first.
Thanks for watching!
What about axis and allies with ahistorical alliances? Or no alliances?
That could be fun! Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
Thanks for watching!
So which do you think are better: Tactical or Strategic Bombers? Because in g40 the strategic bombers are only 1 IPC more expensive than the tactical bombers and that makes it difficult for me to decide. :)
Good question! Thanks for asking.
Every unit has a time and place, but on the whole I think the tactical is better. It can land on carriers and gets a bonus from fighter and tanks. Good for sea and land combat. Plus, it can still do some raiding. Overall, just a more versatile unit.
@@BoardGameNation oh, so the tactical bomber is like an "Allrounder" air unit. Now I'm clear about it.
@@schmutza_5426 - My first choice is a fighter, but a tactical is a close second.
Just remember tactical bombers can't bomb industrial centers only the strategic can
Good point!
I have A&A 1940 and I want to know to difference between tactical and strategic bombers
Thanks for watching!
There are a number of differences between Tactical and Strategic Bombers. Can you be more specific?
@@BoardGameNation Yes, tactical and strategic bombing raids
The easiest way to explain the difference is that Strategic Bombers can do bombing raid on Air and Naval Bases or Industrial Complexes. Tactical Bombers can only bomb Air or Naval Bases.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.
A bomber only attacks an industrial complex but is the vice versa true that only industrial complex can attack the bomber ? Or is it that any other unit , by which I mean an AAA gun ,Can attack an approaching bomber. Or will the industrial complex be the only one to be able to take it down ??
Thanks for watching!
Bombers can attack a territory or perform a strategic bombing raid on an Industrial Complex. An IC will only fire if it is attacked directly with a strategic bombing raid. It will fire at escorts fighters that are accompanying the bombers on that raid, but never at any air units that are attacking a territory.
If the bomber attacks a territory with an AA gun present, the AA gun will fire as normal and the attacker may assign any AA gun hits to a bomber.
I hope that answers your question. If not, here is a video all about AA guns.
Let me know if you have any more questions!
Thanks again for watching!
@@BoardGameNation thanks again for helping me !!! I just recently started out with this game and it has a steep learning curve but your way of explaining has helped me a lot time and again. Btw I started playing on tripleA . Would you suggest some good tripleA maps to play on as a beginner to intermediate level ??
Happy to help! I'm sorry, but I don't know much about TripleA. You could ask in some of the Facebook forum. I prefer Axis and Allies Online by Beamdog that is available through Steam. It has a solo version that is good for beginners. Have fun!
Tough interception rules, defending fighters should always shoot back, maybe a technology development could fix this, I'm always working on the free technology game, just dial it down and stretch it out. One free per player / 3 per team. Rolling 2 dice and consult your own custom technology chart #2-12. Technology is effective after non combat to reduce surprise. We've used technology from the many A&A expansions over the decades, hovertanks, helicopters, APC, trucks, fighter-bombers, commander in chief rules 1984, plus many more. Buying technology tokens also speeds the technology development, every token bought eventually rolls it's 6 and then rolling 2 dice to see what the new technology is.
Sounds like you have a fun group! Thanks for sharing!
I have a question. As UK I strategic bomb Germany for the fuel 10 ipc’s. Uk’s turn. Can the US then do their own bombing Raid Germany? Or do they have to wait for FULL new turn?
Bombing raids don't have to wait for anything. The UK can bomb on their turn and the US can bomb on the same round of play.
Germany has an IPC value of 10. So, the complex there can take up to 20 points of damage. While the Allies technically could continue to bomb the complex, if it already has 20 points, it would be meaningless to continue.
I hope that helps.
Thanks for watching!
@@BoardGameNation wouldn't Germany still lose the IPCs from a bombing raid (i.e. regardless of factory damage)?
@@DennisCoffman-dd8ok No. Germany can choose to make repairs (or not) during the Purchase Units phase at a rate of 1 IPC per point of damage dealt during bombing raids.
@@BoardGameNation I understand that there is an option to not repair, but do they still lose IPCs from the raid? OR is it because they decided to not repair that no IPC damage is done?
Damn, using my bombers to strat-bomb is dangerous--since I can do so many things with them.
I have always questioned the value of strategic bombing.
Thanks for watching!
Don't do it. Axis and Allies on line will kill you on the dice role when your doing strategic bombing.
I have had rough luck with it online and on the table top. I am not convinced that the math works out to make it a good value proposition.
Thanks for watching!
Maybe I'm not understanding how this works, but it seems to me that strategic bombing, if successful, does 2 IPC of damage in essence. First is the normal IPC damage roll, but then if you are damaging the factory and the opposing side has to repair it, otherwise they can't build there, that could really cripple the other side. Imagine if Germany had to repair 10 IPC and Italy 3 IPC every round on top of losing 13 IPC (or more), then buy units while the allies could continue to grind out better equipment (tanks going up against infantry for example). That's a big advantage for the allies considering the US has more disposable income to crank out a bomber every turn along with a transport and more ground units and UK can just focus on ground units to continually take over France. Eventually the Germans lose that battle as the Russians come from the East.
That's if I'm understanding how that works. Considering a factory can take x2 damage, in theory that factory repair per turn could cost 26 IPCS + losing that many IPCs in a turn. If that doesn't cripple any nation, then I don't know what would.
You said a single round of air combat but the last raid was 2 then the actual bombing. I'm confused
Never mind I got it.
Happy to help. :)
Thanks for watching!
General rule question...1940 global, say on Russia first move ,they take Korea... Japan never attempts to take back Korea ...then eventually , Germany takes Russia....the question is, can usa take Korea from conquered Russia? Or does Korea remain Russian?
Thanks for watching! Good question!
Ok. In your scenario, the answer to the question is this: in order for Americans to take control of Korea, the Japanese would have to take first, then the Americans could take control of it. If the Japanese leave it alone, it remains under the control of the Russians and no one collects the income.
It is important to note that this is also true of all of the territories that were originally control by the USSR. For an Allied power to control it and gain the income, it would have to fall to an Axis power and be liberated by an Allied power.
We offered a few examples about this in our full How-to-Play video. They might help clear this up. This video is focused on 1942.2, but the rules are the same on this issue. Jump to 1:16:29 of this link. czcams.com/video/IKyWaC0vrtM/video.html

@@BoardGameNation thanks for the quick and accurate response...
@@pavelthedog6939 Happy to help! Let me know if you have any other questions.
Damn I always want to play this game but only one friend is willin to spend the hours😢
Thanks for watching! Have you tried playing online. It isn't the same as playing face to face, but it is fun nonetheless. I like Axis & Allies Online by Beambog that is available through Steam. You can find lots of people to play with.
You can also hit up the Discord channels to find people online and in real life to play with. Here is one of the bigger groups: discord.gg/UW3yXQF8
You can also find some great folks on this Discord, but this one is more geared to online play: discord.gg/fzjnrE96
There is also AxisandAllies.org. They have tons of resources!
Thanks again for watching! Good luck!
@@BoardGameNation thank you so much imma check it out
@thanosk liberator - Awesome! Tell them Board Game Nation sent you! Also, I hope you got a chance to subscribe to our channel! :)
8:55 you said scramble but you meant intercept
I suppose that since the term 'scramble' does have a meaning in other A&A games, I should have said 'intercept' instead.
Thanks for watching!
i'm just trying to keep everyone playing fairly ;)
