My review copy of Axis & Allies Europe 1940 has arrived

Thanks for the quick reply.  I certainly understand the appeal of Global, unfortunately it’s just not an option for my regular gaming group.

I made a lot of improvements.  The code was adjusted to avoid some looping, and the unit purchase tabulator was included side-by-side with every turn IPC tracker.  The damage tracker was also much improved, I think.  See attached.  Accepting all constructive criticism.

Veqryn rules!

Hey guys.  If any of you are still interested, I have a brand new copy of Europe 1940 that I am selling on Ebay with a bunch of extra pieces (ICs, AA, IPCs, units, dice).  I don’t want to post a link here because that might be against the rules, so if you are interested go to Ebay and search for “Axis & Allies Europe 1940” and you will see mine come up with the title:

“Axis & Allies Europe 1940 SEALED plus Many Extras!! Free shipping to USA/Canada”

@Frontovik:

So US is down for 4 rounds. afterwards, what territory should be their main goal? i used to assault normandy or south-france, because of the IC’s. Also thought of aiming at italians, who can break through egypt now. But then russians are hard pressed.
perhaps they should land together with british in norway?

the turn sequence of Alpha 3 is ideal for attacking with USA and reinforcing with UK INFs and FIGs

edit: for me Africa is first priority (UK IPC’s + securing a front and Egypt, a VC), when that is settled i prefer to aim at Norway (NO bonus for Germany and a relatively safe spot to land, AND of course a place where USA can build an IC)

by the time africa is decently secured, russia has fallen…
(atleast alpha 2)

That can happen, but even so, as long as Axis don’t capture either Cairo or London they haven’t won.

Also i said first priority, not only priority ;)

Of course Allies need to be turning the tide by now on the other side of the map.

Playin tomorrow, so, i should play with alpha 3?

@bladewar:

the income of nations remain the same or change as well as I have seen that Russia has 38 such ipc for global version
–-------------------------
Use the box incomes, but give USSR 9 extra IPCs.  Do not give it the two infantry per turn in Novosibirsk.

Sorry for spanish clarification:
No te confundas “bladewar”, los IPC para jugar a Europa 1940 no son los mismos que para GLOBAL 1940. Por eso yo enumeré cada uno de los paises para “Krieghund”, para resolver todas las dudas. Ahora ya los tienes.

If France isn’t taken by turn 1 Germany is in trouble and the UK will thank you for leaving France intact.  Also the USA would collect all of South America if you hit a Netural nation like Turkey.  There are a lot of other holes in the plan…you assuming above average dice rolling which can’t be assumed. Your also assuming the Russian player is stupid and doesn’t figure out your plan and move to counter it. Because all Russia really has to do is hold on and wait for the USA to arrive to help. This tactic wouldn’t work on me as a USA player because I would be sitting in Rome turn 5 especially with Italy having no fleet in the med I would just park my fleet in the med and let you take pot shots at it with fighters(that would be fighters you wouldn’t be able to use to help take the other VC).
