  Just like Quirky Turtle, greetings from the Netherlands. I played a few sessions of A&A back in the days of the MB version, but since the release of the 1940 games I wanted to get back into it. But somehow the copies didn’t leave their shelve since only 2 years ago when I started playing it together with Quirky Turtle and some other friends. We were heavily inspired by the strategy video’s from YG which really helped us in our learning curve from Allied favored to Axis favored. And the great customizations by many people from this great community. So I quickly jumped on to the biggest project of my live: retouching the big scanned map of Global 1940 that was already available to the community. Since then my hours put into this hobby has somewhat decreased but are still on a good level. With work on my own custom: hit dice tokens & markers scanned version of the Anniversary Map my own table top (not yet revealed yet) web application to track your IPCs based on a GoogleMaps like interface of the 1940 map (and other versions of the AA family) Cheers, Tjoek

  @Canuck12 I’ve got US with 38 IPCs in hand. UK with 20, I don’t see anything that Japan or US did to affect their income. And Russia, I gave 7 additional IPCs to, for 29 in hand. I gave them credit for holding 3 additional territories in Europe, and 1 in NE Asia. Does that seem right to you? Also, Germany has 46, and Japan has 44 in hand. Axis I have pictured. I didn’t get the Allied on hand money pictured.

  @SS-GEN said in Global War 1940 2nd ed.: @Baron: I played a few times with Cruiser and TP moving 3 SZs. Clearly, on wide map with a lot of SZs, it increase the pace of invasion and add more smaller fleet battles because other warships moving only M2 cannot follow as much as they wish. The issue to incentive more amphib landing is to give a bit of escort to Transport, Cruiser get this more specialized role without being able to protect against Subs. The lust for gain to conquer an Island may outweigh the risk of placing a few ships in vulnerable SZ (which can be in a deadzone from a few enemy’s units). Another possibility, is to give a complete defense  @1 out of 12 per Transport with M3. This will generate more amphib with TPs being use as expendable unit to grab land. Of course, cost should be increase compared to defenseless. Yes Japan did sacrifice 2 transports to take Midway. I believe the transports missed there plane defense shots. But it kept them at home for a extra turn. So without seeing Europe side outcome yet dont know if it hurt US. But they didnt seem to have a problem getting down to New Guinea. I can see in future games now Japan needs to stay at Carolinas and then get Manilla at a later turn instead of moving away as the case in the pics in above posts. Also those M4 Cruisers in non combat can support small fleets or big fleets coming from Toyko to Carolinas and US from LA to Australia and New Guinea islands. But Cruisers  can only move 3 in combat so its not a total crush. I can see where the Transport would be nice also to M3 in combat and 4 in non combat in my game. Transport now in game which I think I didnt change in list is if you take a transport as a casualty you do not get the D@1 against a plane. If no attacking planes then they get the escape roll. If the transport went to a M3 would that be to strong on the Europe side for US ? I think it depends because if you spend to much in the Atlantic as US then Japan with M3 Transports in combat and M4 in non combat will be all over the islands. So this would keep both sides in Pacific honest to protect other side from total island control. Im trying to get also a more of a 50-50 60-40 US spending in game. Transport A0 D1 At 1 plane only if taken as casualty M3 C8 The M3 Transport would have to be tested later do to testing the island group campaign that is being tested now and in a game coming up but aways off yet. But will play test where will just do like a 3-4 turn test games before group game. Could test transport in those 3-4 test turn games also. Did such TP unbalanced ATO? You have numerous SZs on your Atlantic map, even a 4 NCM move from Florida SZ is not able to land units on Continental Europe.

  @vodot Oh interesting, you could have a secondary set of markers for each player to indicate objective groups. These could be taken from a track much in the same way as my design here. Interesting idea. My only objection is the lack of space on the board.

  @Nowhere-Man said in Game Balance & Capturing Capitols: @Midnight_Reaper: Lack of cash hurts both ways, though - it takes a while to build a navy at 12 IPCs, whether it’s the UK or Germany rebuilding their fleet from the first turn battles. Lack of cash hurts both ways, but what I was getting at, building a fleet from nothing (for Germany) is very expensive and easy to spot coming, while defending England from a Sea Lion doesn’t require a fleet, it only requires far cheaper ground units (a bunch of English soldiers is a lot cheaper than trying to build a big German fleet)… it’s far easier for England to build infantry than for Germany to build a fleet with capital ships transports AND the ground troops to fill the transports, when all England has to do is build ground troops to defend against Sea Lion… yes, Britain will need to rebuild their fleet at some point from initial losses, but if Germany is trying to go Sea Lion before Moscow in 1941 (which was the initial question I believe), the money situation far favors the UK over Germany… unless the UK player is just daft and doesn’t defend England while Germany builds a fleet. As zooma pointed out, the more realistic method for the Axis to win would be to eliminate Russia first, then, using the funds from a dead Russia, build a fleet to attack the western allies. I’ve played this game a few more times and I’ve come to the conclusion that - contrary to what I expected - the Axis player’s best bet to win the short game is to invade North America, starting in Alaska, and march to Washington. Japan needs to grab some cash and some factories, either from Asia (India and Siberia) and / or the Pacific (Australia, et al) and then start up the invasion fleet. If the US has focused on Germany for the first part of the game, they may have their hands full beating back “Dai Nippon Teikoku”… -Midnight_Reaper

  @Seadog Not a problem! Glad to hear you found the advice helpful. I don’t want to go into too much detail on what you did for AA50, as that game has its own sub-forum, but I’m glad you were able to find my advice generic enough to apply to multiple A&A titles. However, for the Anniversary game, playing a more aggressive Germany is usually favored in the 1941 Scenario (due to how weak the Soviets are at the start of the game), and even somewhat in the 1942 Scenario (If Germany can make a foothold in Eastern Ukraine early, Japan can reach the territory with almost its entire airforce on J2, there is a thread on this strategy I’ve posted in quite a bit called “Unstoppable Axis Strategy”, if you’re interested).

  Definitely! I like Magnus Carlsen, but I like Fabiano more. I congratulate Magnus for retaining his world title, but like you said Panther, Fabiano did a wonderful job drawing every one of the classical games.

  #9. TRANSPORT RE-ASSIGNMENT Any number of air or sea transport units (including none), may be reassigned to a friendly nation during any special missions turn. Upon approval from the nation that currently controls them, transport units may be swapped out and controlled by the friendly nation of their choice. However, only sea transports adjacent to a friendly naval base, and air transports landed on a friendly air base may be reassigned during the special missions phase. Also, only nations at war may participate in reassigning sea transports (Russia must be at war with a European Axis power)

  For those of you who travel often, there is a really good podcast by the BBC. “A story of love, denial and a curious death. Philippe Sands investigates the mysterious disappearance of senior Nazi, Otto Wachter, and journeys right to the heart of the Ratline.” Very good report of the impact of having a senior Nazi father/husband on the Wachter family both during and after the war. I liked how they have been able to remain objective throughout the entire investigation. Podcast here
