@nubnumber1 They would have to ask Germany permission to sail through the Danish straits. Germany doesn’t have to grant permission.

On a slightly unrelated note:

Do you think it would ever benefit Germany to grant the Baltic Fleet access to the Atlantic or the Northern Fleet to the Baltic? I’m not sure what’s the best move.

Most players won’t reinforce China with USSR if it looks like Germany is going to drive into USSR.

Some people like simple some like complex….some like logic some like regimented rules

I agree with you…some are now calling it a National objective…I read it as non aggression pact in a political situation and that action is AGGRESSION. What I do know is I am not wrong…nor are people who agree with this move…this rule is simply left to interpretation…that’s all there is to it

No coincidence that there are so many house rules…why are they there? Because it is a great game and it has flaws and mistakes and rules that are not clear. I bet you there is not a player who plays this game who has not sat there and looked at a rule to go from section to section to get a clarification for at least 10 minutes during a game.

As for logic…if you are playing strategists…throw that out of the window…if you are playing historical folks…you can get somewhere…and then there is the in between and there you negotiate

Thanks for the recap on the stages of the Alpha’s. I do like the newer rules I think compared to the OOB rules. Just gatta break the group on the next new game.

Yeah, it would be. This is the last time we’re playing the old set. We start playing the 2nd Global next. I’m looking forward to a much weaker US and a much stronger Germany.

@ronrye:

Was I just playing against someone who wasn’t very good at playing Germany?

Perhaps, but not necessarily. You might have been a little extra good at playing Russia. Maybe the dice were a little lucky for you or unlucky for Germany. I remember a game where Germany went into Russia with four huge thrusts – Finland into Karelia, Poland into Baltic States, Slovakia/Hungary into E. Poland and Romania into Bessarabia. All four armies smashed the Russian early defenses with a lot of stuff left. Then strong Russian counter-attacks end up decimating half the German force. After that it was very slow going for the Germans. The Russians managed to keep putting up strong defenses and whenever a particular German army was whittled down enough, a Russian counter-attack would wipe it out and the German drive was set back again. I think the Minor IC in the Ukraine was exchanged between Russia and Germany about 4 or 5 times.
So your German player wasn’t necessarily bad, maybe just inexperienced. Perhaps he learned his lesson and will take Moscow from you next time. He seemed to do pretty good at taking London.

@AllyAxis:

Was thinking about this strategy for Alpha 2+ global.

Has anyone done it successfully?

Attack J1 soviet far east, amur, sibera. build a Major in Manchuria and keep UK India /china relatively occupied . pin down the US fleet with carrier builds and park fighters on it to keep the US building in the pacific.

Get my Italians to clear Soviet buffer troops (usually one or two units between main armies) and get the Italy Germany one two punch going. I found that my mech tank builds were very effective and getting to Russia quickly to support. but I may not build as many mechs this next game. I was matching them tank for mech. but that may only be necessary for clearing forces (IE forces trying to take rostov , caucus ) on the way to moscow.

Can Japan really turn the tide tho in the All Axis on the Soviets strat? thoughts anyone?

Hi James,

I did it once succesfully. First turn I took France, Normandy and Southern France with Germany, so Italy can move the troops from Northern Italy to Yugoslavia which was already taken by the Germans Round 1. With this support and Japan invading Russia Turn 2 and building a major Factory in Korea Russia was down.
The negative side is, that India and ANZAC had no problem to survive and invade the money islands.

Greets RobbyWestSide

Thanks Robby! Glad to hear from you! I have been taking Yugoslavia with the Italians, but getting them into the eastern front faster is a nice key. In my last Europe 1940 game I started with an Italian turn 2 attack and then reinforced with Germany. Sounds like Cmdr Jennifer agrees with the Italians take, Germany re-inforces one two punch in the East. I will definitely consider taking china from the rear, but at the same time I need the 12 IPC’s to keep Japan viable if my resources and ground units aren’t going after the DEI or UK india too hard. excited to see this play out friday evening. If my 2 other players show… and I get to play the Axis which I should since its my turn. I just have to watch out. The Axis Cannot make major mistakes, but the Allies can make plenty and still win the game. Time is on the side of the Allies in the long term with the Awesomeness of the US’s 70+ IPC’s…

Thanks for all the input everyone.
