You could try playing without it. USA doesn't really need to go for Big Blue Fleet and with the 2:1 requirement, Japan should fairly easily stop them anyway. Perhaps try a couple games without Kido Butai. I suspect this would give an advantage to the Allies, but you can test it out. The Axis has less flexibility in what VP's they can actually hold onto, given that the Allies take their turns right before the roll.

This is exactly how you would play it! Send an aircraft on MAP to the sea zone containing the submarine. The aircraft is the screening force and engages the submarine. The naval transport is the continuing force and cannot be hit by the submarine (as the only thing defending units can hit in a screening battle is the screening force). The aircraft will either kill the submarine on that first round of combat, or the sub will submerge, but either way, the naval transport can continue.

@@GW36_Enthusiast Should the attacker always decide in advance about screening forces without having an answer from the defender? Is it necessary to create a screening force even if the attacker does not know whether the submarine will sink or not?

@@kramolismarek1538 The attacker will usually decide to to create a screening force because if the attacker does *not* decide to create a screening force, then the defender can elect to engage any ship that enters. Submarines have target selection on a "1" and this means if the attack doesn't create a screening force, the submarine could hypothetically target select an important unit (like a fully loaded naval transport). If the attacker is brave, he could just enter the sea zone without creating a screening force and basically dare the defending submarine to attack for one round. If the defending submarine does engage and there is no screening force, then the submarine gets to pick the target on a "1", but all the attacking units can counterattack and sink the submarine. Does this make sense? You don't always have to create a screening force, but if you have an aircraft within MAP range, it's a no-brainer versus defending submarines because when the attacking player creates a screening force of an aircraft on MAP, that is the only unit that can be attacked by the defending submarine (and submarines can't hit aircraft). Versus a lone sub, send the aircraft on MAP and make it your screening force, and the submarine is basically useless. You don't want to leave your defending submarines in range of MAP for this reason!

@@GW36_Enthusiast Ok, I understand. One last thing to clarify. If I don't have a plane on the MAP or I need a plane elsewhere. Can I send a ship/ships to the MZ with a submarine as a screening unit? Would the submarine then have to hit these ships and not continue with the transports? Or it can hit the continuing ships and the screening will ignore it. Thank you for your answers.

Don't hesitate to reach out with questions! Hopefully you have already found my playlist, "Understanding Concepts."

@@GW36_Enthusiast Thank you. I'll give it a look :)

@@GW36_Enthusiast Sorry one more question. I want to buy GW36 from historical board games. A 4'x8' is at 199$. Is that only for the map or for the "Full set" with charts, battle boards ect.?

@@GW36_Enthusiast Thank you very much! Then I’ll soon be a happy GW36 owner 😊

Excellent question! In prior versions, you could not push forward to maximum movement and perform an amphibious assault, but now, in version v4.2, you can!

​@@GW36_EnthusiastExample: I can therefore create a screening force to clear the area, advance with the advancing fleet another two spaces (+1 movement from the port), where I will create a screening force again, clear the area and conduct an amphibious landing.

@@nikolavitkova9490 Yes, this is how it works! It used to be that if you just put a single surface warship in a ring 1 space away from any vulnerable land zone that you made it impossible to amphibiously assault that land zone. But now, a picket line of ships like that could just be screened, fought, and the continuing force can move forward.

Well, I suppose you are correct! USSR would have to be an audacious player to go for a 1/12 chance at a cost of 75% of national income! It's 1 pip versus 12 pips, but you are right that there are players who might go for that! I'll change my play in the future. Thanks so much for helping me become a better player! 8 )

Dadao doesn't collect income. It doesn't have a National Reference Sheet and can only get new units via reinforcement rolls.

Yes! Note that Japan must have a Japanese-possessed land zone adjacent to a warlord to make an influence roll, so after those 2, Japan will have to try and capture other land zones adjacent to warlords to attempt to grow further. But with lend-lease, Dadao can capture more territory from CCP and KMT on it's own!

@@GW36_Enthusiast Oh wow so Dadao could have 2 separate areas of territory and get quite powerful without Japan ever aligning them. Thanks for your response!

@@tealino1 Exactly right!

Very interesting! I like your concept of almost having a free factory with the ability to Lend-lease to Dadao!

No, Mongolia isn't considered a Warlord, but rather a minor nation controlled by USSR. You can't currently influence Mongolia like the Warlords.

@@GW36_Enthusiast So it's an exclusive KMT thing. Thanks

@@Seriona1 The backfire on a "12" thing is exclusively for KMT. KMT has no way to directly influence warlords themselves. Their only hope is for CCP or Japan to screw it up!

@@GW36_Enthusiast I'm talking about KMT can invade Mongolia under certain conditions. I thought Morten by accident allowed Dadao to happen in Mongolia.

@@Seriona1 Ah, I see! You are correct that CCP, Dadao, and KMT can attack any land zones originally with a Chinese warlord, KMT, CCP, Manchukuo or Mongolian roundel as well as Formosa and Hong Kong.

Core 4.2 rules

Greetings, Winter! Seriona's correct - core rules!

Kido Butai and Improved Construction lowers the cost to 4.

They are the 3D printed sculpts for the Spanish Republicans from HBG. Part number HBG_3DP_0965. You will have to paint them though, because they come to you gray. I just use spray paint.

@@GW36_Enthusiast Thank you!

Great question! You may lend-lease multi-stage ships to other nations as long as they do not require technology to unlock (large ship construction). If you are lend-leasing a multi-stage unit, you start building it and announce that it is designated for the purpose of lend-lease, but you do NOT have to specify what nation will end up receiving it, only that it will be lend-leased. It sits on the build queue, advancing stage by stage. When you complete the construction of the ship, at that point you announce where it will be delivered. It is produced on that last turn at an eligible shipyard in the home country of the sending nation, then it follows a supply path to the receiving nation. It may be either delivered to a sea zone adjacent to an eligible naval facility located in the home country of the receiving nation, or in port at an eligible major naval facility located in the home country of the receiving nation.

@@GW36_Enthusiast Thank for your reply! This seems to be a powerful strategy. Suppose that Germany player lend-leases his starting uncompleted BB to Italy or Japan, breaking the navy balance between Axis and British or USA.

@@creepingcreeper2763 Note that ships on the build queue must be placed there designated they will be lend-leased. You can't change a "normal" ship on the build queue to be designated as being for lend-lease. They have to be started that way. It would be too powerful to be able to change your mind mid-build. So the German player cannot lend-lease the battleship he starts the game with on the build queue because it wasn't started as designated for lend-lease. But you are right that this could be a powerful strategy. Silk likes to start a battleship designated for lend-lease as USA, then decide on the last turn which nation he's going to send it to. If he lend-leases it to Sydney, that affects Japan's ability to have Kido Butai, just as you were saying.

@@GW36_Enthusiast I'm new to this game, so I really appreciate your detailed correction. Looking forward to your new video!

@@creepingcreeper2763 Are you the one who requested a video on Understanding Dadao?

Do you possess the game? In the description I'll post the link to Discord and we can talk.

Ok!

You can purchase 8 mm D6's!

🤣

Is there a particular topic you would like me to cover? Have you watched my "Understanding" Series of videos? I've covered many topics!

@McKayBennett You can't trade, but i believe there is a slight discount.

Hopefully, you have 3 or more players. If you have 4+ then have the weakest player team up with the strongest player. The Allies are the toughest to play well and it's easy to lose the game as a novice Allies' player. Put your strongest person as Commonwealth. USSR is easier to learn because you mainly have to learn the rules for land forces. I have a "Understanding" playlist that goes over various things. I would consider having people watch other people's RUclips wars, but it can also be super fun discovering painful lessons on your own. Don't hesitate to ask me questions. Are you on the Board Gaming Bro GW36 Discord server? That's a great resource.

@@GW36_Enthusiast I have a group of 6 including me. I am the only one who knows how to play. The others don't even know how to play Axis & Allies(Maybe). No, I am not on the Board Gaming Bro GW36 Discord server. What is the discord address?

@McKayBennett I was on vacation. Did you get in the Discord server? I put the server address in the description for this video.

@@GW36_Enthusiast Yes I did. I am Unknown User.

You are right! I will have to PBE this later. 17:29: there is a 50/50 chance the "4" I rolled was a hit! I'm not following where I didn't have target selection. I don't remember applying a target selection hit.

PBE'd the "4" rolled at 17:30 and it was the 2nd infantry. Great catch, Wess79ful! Java is taken with only 1 infantry, 1 marine.

@GW36_Enthusiast I'm not making this too easy for you! Goodluck Pete :)

Greetings! I don't know the expansions or how any expansion rules work, but the Commonwealth countries (GB/FEC/ANZAC) can only receive one lend-lease unit per player turn. So USA can't send a fighter to Great Britain the same turn they send a submarine to ANZAC. But USSR could send Great Britain a fighter on USSR's turn, then USA could send another fighter on USA's turn.

Okay awesome makes sense and I guess just as a general rule u cannot lend lease to non home country territory’s other than militia upgrades ig? Thanks again!

@@pierceshelton2110 Note that FEC is an exception to the requirement to lend-lease to home country. FEC does not have a Home Country. It may receive lend-lease in Calcutta and Maharashtra.

Hi I know it’s unrelated, but you have been pretty helpful this far and I really appreciate it. Couldn’t find the answer I was looking for when it comes to upgrades and researched units. If you know can researched units like attack transports be upgraded from a regular transport or do all new advanced units have to be produced and may not be upgraded? Thanks again!

@@pierceshelton2110 Happy to help! Some technologies upgrade all your existing units as well as any new units you build. Examples of this are: Airborne Doctrine turns all existing Airborne Infantry into Elite Airborne Infantry, Long-range Aircraft gives +1 movement to all existing aircraft, ASW gives +2 attack to all existing seaplanes. Most technologies though only "unlock" your ability to build the new high tech units. Examples are: Advanced Mechanized Infantry, Advanced Artillery, Amphibious Doctrine (attack transports), Heavy Armor, Jet Fighters, Advanced Submarines, Large Ship Construction, Heavy Strategic Bombers, and Strategic Rockets.

It is really nice.

@@McKayBennett It is gorgeous, isn't it?!? I bought it from Souza Custom Woodworking. They are in Tennessee. You can find them on Instagram and Etsy. I've ordered many of these towers. Great gifts! It's heirloom quality.

Shhhhhh! But remember KMT has 12 in the bank and can receive lend-lease from France this turn.

😭

"All remaining land zones and military units of that warlord Align and become a Japanese-Controlled Axis Minor Power: Dadao Government. As long as Controlled, the Dadao Government gets recruitment rolls, and may receive Lend-lease from Japan. Dadao may attack Chinese land zones without the rest of China Aligning with CCP or KMT. If attacked by CCP or KMT, Dadao does not align with Japan. If Japan declares war on China and is at war with a Major Power, it aligns with Japan. "

Also, thanks! It is nice to understand the rules better.

Good catch!

It's a great hobby, collecting and improving your set over time!
