A factory in sinkiang.. Is certainly going to fall if the Japanese player decides so. Just grab the map (whichever version you are playing) and check the sequence of R1 and R2, what units japan can place there and what can the allies place. Even with russian ground units (which are all needed against germany) the chance is slim against all Japanese ...

Speaking from general principles, as one who as never played the game but as played a multitude of board games over the past 45 years: Barring extreme good fortune allowing a very early capture of said factory, I believe the concentration of effort required to achieve such a capture would provide compensating benefit to the Allies that would essentially ...

I'll assume we're talking about "global" A&A versions (whole world map) Is there a consensus that the "newest" players play the U.S. (or Britain) Good question!

Tech Development is a gamble with very bad odds. The only Tech that wins is Heavy Bombers. On average you will have to spent 21 dice (105 IPC) to get it. In statistical terms in fact you should use the median which is 19 dice (95 IPC) because the data is not normally distributed. For ease we go with average. So on average even the US will need 4 turns to ...

Hey I just wanted to add to this question to say that I have an older version of Axis and Allies purchased back in the 80s. In my version, it is NOT clear on whether you can place new units in the same space as a newly purchased factory. In fact, here is the exact quote from my version of the rulebook: 'IMPORTANT: you cannot place newly purchased items ...
