MOVED: AAE Scenario: Europe 1939 (France, USA, Germany, Britain, USSR, Italy)

@SS-GEN
“Europe 1999 is not a very balanced game, but …”

@Aretaku:

I’m also thinking that an easy way to leave the British Bonus Infantry rule alone while keeping the game balanced would be to connect Iran to India, and allow for amphib assaults of Egypt via the Red Sea. That way Japan actually has the option of entering the theatre without having to go all the way around the freaking world.  :-P

Yes, connecting the Red Sea interboard space to Egypt and India to Iran makes sense.

The tournament has startet, but “late entries” would theoretically be possible for the next few days, if players with “byes” would agree to give them up!

I  doubt that can work indefinitely for the Russians.

When I play the Germans and the Russians try to take back Leningrad, I just relish that.

If Russia wants to try to take back and hold and keep Leningrad and destroy their limited units in such a futile attempt, please Russia go ahead!

I just don’t see that happening unless I am missing some Russian double secret strategy?  :?

I like AAP better. Theres nothing like epic sea battles, and I think the Air bases and Sea bases were a great idea.

Well with Germany, I wold go with Subs.
For USA/UK probably a destroyer or battleship.
But really, this all depends on what’s on the board. If there’s a of air power on the other side, then chances are I won’t build subs. If I already have a small navy (say a convoy of transports), I would probably go with a BB. And if I know the other side is using subs, then I probably buy destroyers. It all depends on how you look at it.
