IAAPA Complete Unabridged Rules - Part 10 Secret Orders

Last Updated July 25, 1999

Questions and comments should be directed to our Minister of Law John (law@axisandallies.net).

SECRET ORDER EXAMPLES:

Before the game starts players may wish to submit special orders with their bids (like if the German SUB in WSPAIN SZ is attacked withdraw it West). Or with USSR turn you may say...if on German turn the SUB in East Mediterranean SZ is attacked, withdraw through Suez. The best way to get the GM this order is on the turn before (on USSR turn for the UK...or by "SECRET" E-MAIL). In general all other orders and results should be posted in the BB under your specific game heading.

The German player will then post his move based on the above outcomes, give a board update of his units, including the areas for which the GM rolled. This really minimizes the GM's involvement and the time required to GM the game. NEVER dispute the GM's rolls (that he fixed them)...sometimes triple snake eyes come up on the dice for the three AA's. GMs,.....NEVER feel bad about bad rolls. Just post them as they fall. The random effect of the dice is what makes each game different and interesting.

It's the players responsibility to make sure the other person followed the rules and to review and comment about the board/unit update sent with each turn. Updates are very important as it is very, very easy to make a mistake playing by computer. The time spent on updates is time saved in the long run.....this comes from a lot of experience.
