If Germany captures Paris on the first turn do they get all the IPC's?

@Tizkit nice idea on the dice :+1:

Welcome to A&A ccasey!!

what you do is you buy troops
you do your combat move if you win the territory you raise your ipc amount up as many numbers as the territory says
then at  the end of your turn you look at the National Production Chart and Collect that amount for that country
your countries DO NOT share there money’

I once played a game where Germany attacked with a good force, France rolled 7 hits of its 9 two combat factor units. France lasted till turn two. However germany took france and Britan on turn 2 which turned the tables for an axis victory.

This makes no sense at all.

The alleged rationale for all these endless mindless Alpha changes were to help the Axis to win.

So the answer is to bulk up the starting IPC’s for the UK and the USSR?

Yeah right!

Soon all this Alpha nonsense will be revealed as a joke right?

Yes France has to fall turn 1 because otherwise the UK can renforce it. That means more losses turn 2. Its also one less turn Germany has to deal with the UK before America and Russia get into it.

Its like asking “Would it be crazy to leave the UK with a fleet after turn 1?”

Thats also yes…might as well conceede the game at that point.

@UN:

I’m wondering if someone could clarify this to me.

I’ve heard that India and Great Britain will have separate IPC incomes. If that’s true, does that mean all British Pacific territories goes to the Indian IPC?

Does this also mean that there’s a possibility that there can be a houseruled seventh player as British India? Would it work?

I also heard that the United States has a split income as well between the Atlantic and Pacific. So does that also mean that there could very well be an (again, houseruled) eighth player playing as either the European American forces or the Pacific American forces?

Higher number of possible players is 10:

USSR France UK India ANZAC China USA Germany Italy Japan

You’re not going to have much fun playing one minor allied … just give to one player all the minor allies, so practical max number is 7 players

Knowing me I will do this, just like AA50 I sometimes broke out China from the US. Believe me I could get 10 people over, (a lot of them suck, but compared to a lot of people on here I guess I suck  :-P ) That will be fun!

The “can opener” tactic has always been part of AA. The UK opens doors for the US all the time on land or at sea in both theaters. It wasn’t until Italy became a power that it became more prominent (axis vs Russia). Russia gets beefed up a little to compensate, and it has allies to bail them out.

Make_It_Round has a great point about countering week Russian advances w/UK or US air (or ground forces) to force Italy to think twice about attacking in the first place (or at least cost them if they do). If both euro axis want to play in Eastern Europe then you have to get UK/US in there as well. A strong UK/US naval presence heading toward Italy will also turn those Italians around (love to see them waffle).

Another thing would be to close the Black Sea (errata/faq option in AA50). Don’t allow Italy to use its navy to aid in taking key tt. We at times have not totally closed the Black Sea, but axis would need to hold all 4 tt that boarder Turkey in AA50 to enter (we call it political pressure). In AA 40 global you will need to invade Turkey (new straight rule) to gain access to the Black Sea, so this should slow them a bit.

As we add more minor powers there will be more double teaming going on by both sides. UK (India) and Anzac both go before US in global, you only think Russia has problems. You have to be aware and see at least into the next round of play so you can prepare.
