AXIS & ALLIES

Goal: Axis wins by holding 2 Allied capitals (Moscow, London, Washington). Allies win by holding Berlin and Tokyo.

Your turn has 6 phases. The green button in the corner always moves you to the next one:

1. Purchase — tap Buy Units and spend your IPCs (your money, shown in the top bar). New units don't appear yet — you place them at the end of your turn.
2. Combat Move — declare your attacks: tap a territory with your units, pick how many with the +/− steppers, tap Move, then tap a highlighted enemy destination. Repeat for as many attacks as you like. Moves into friendly land are allowed too.
3. Combat — fight the battles you declared, one at a time: tap a flashing territory, then Roll the Dice. After each round you choose — fight another round or retreat.
4. Redeploy — move units that didn't fight: reinforce the front, and land your aircraft on friendly territory or carriers.
5. Place Units — put your purchases on the board. Land units go on territories with your factory (up to the territory's IPC value per turn); sea units go in a sea zone next to a factory.
6. Income — automatic: you collect IPCs equal to the total value of the territories you hold, then the next nation plays.

Moving: tanks and ships move 2 spaces, infantry and artillery move 1, planes fly far but must be able to get home. Blue highlights show where your selected units can go.

Transports: carry 2 land units. Tap the transport's sea zone to load from an adjacent coast or unload onto one. Unloading into enemy territory is an amphibious assault.

Combat: each unit hits on a die roll ≤ its attack (or defense) value — shown on every unit card. Cheapest casualties fall first; battleships absorb 2 hits. Capturing a capital loots that nation's treasury.

Streamlined rules: no AA guns, subs fight like ships, casualties are automatic, planes return home after battle. When Claude 🤖 plays, a banner shows what it's doing — battles appear on everyone's screen as they happen.
