Considering house rules for China in G40. In the event they capture an industrial complex built in China. Should they be able to produce any unit?

@crockett36
How much of the German air force can France take out on F1?If the answer is “zero” then I’m not interested.
I killed a plane. Attacked Holland! Mission accomplished.
-
-
@crockett36 should have attacked 96.
-
-
@crockett36 blocked the battleship! added to the defense of the channel significantly. One can easily scramble. Stiffened 111. Took out 96. And killed a German plane.
-
You could send a fighter to Scotland for a two plane scramble
-
Hi crockett, concerning the attack in sz 96 and the Scotland Fighter unit - is this part of your advice to Renegade ?
-
@The-Captain Sorry, no. I was responding to janus who was skeptical that a France goes first start would significantly change things. I was able to wipe out Holland.
The Advice to Renegade that would come out of this would be an adjustable start date might be a useful handicapping mechanic. I call it crockett36’s time machine. You are playing someone who is not as good as you, let France go first. This would be April 1940. You still win, let Anzac and then France go first. March 1940. Then it would skip down to UK going first, followed by Italy. January 1940. Etc. Fixing and flavoring Axis & Allies 1940.
-
@crockett36 April 1940 Germans are invading Norway,losiing destroyersand getting their best battleships damaged(Gnieseau&scharnhorst)Granted they do sink UK carrier glorious.
Also Italy is not in the war.Perhaps to be more historical,German cruiser should start in sz113 and a damaged battleship start in sz114. -
Ahh, I see…
In order to make this work, you should play test it.
I suggest that you create a Minor Rulebook that includes all your ideas - and I also suggest that you play test your suggestions.
Your play test results will prove if your ideas truly works… and if they need any adjustments.
This will also make it more manageable for any Renegade employee that might want to follow up on your ideas.
It would be awesome to see your ideas come to life at Renegade.

@ampdrive oztea does that in his 41 setup. I’m trying to balance g40 in this mod. Of course turn order would assume all of that has already taken place
-
@crockett36 I really do respect Captains position that extensive playtesting is needed before widespread adoption of new ideas.I often like the concept of throwing ideas at the wall and seeing what sticks.Here are a few things about OOB set up that bug me.
1 France falls too easily.Germany should have to use luftwaffe to be certain of taking paris G1
2 Japan is too strong.21 starting aircraft is overwhelming.UK battleship starting in sz 37 is suppoed to represent the 2 ships Japan sunk there dec41,but of course,we are supposed to be starting 1940.J1 attack is too powerful OOB.
3 Like I mentioned,after invasion of norway Germanys battleships were damaged.No operational Bismark and Tirpitz until 41.
4 Agree that red amy was determined,tough and tenasious defending russia.However,as demonstated against Finland earlier in the war,they were horrible when attacking outside their borders.I say this because I don’t think the red army could easily take over eastern europe had an invasion of UK succeeded.
5 Like in other versions of A&A,I think it should be easier(less szs across the arctic or NB in scotland)to transport units to northern russia.
Well thats enough for now. -
My other gripe is that the UK is far too weak, and as a result, the decision to effectively have them split into 3 factions seems like a huge mistake.
-
@Imperious-Leader France goes first changes much of that. The UK & Russia can hold their own. US can devote 90 percent to Pacific give or take 10 percent.
-
I’m going to do a youtube video on some of these complaints. I have voiced them in the past, these criticisms. There are very effective in game solutions that are rarely used. Fixes that are in the LH canon, though not in the regular g40 rules.

@The-Janus They could take out the Italian bomber.
And reduce the factory to a minor.

This is a screen shot of France Goes First. moved the cruiser in 110 to 112. The ships in 93 attacked 96, freeing up British ships for other things. This battle is 7.5 percent chance of success. Germany needs the air to win. No battleship attacking 110 or 111.
-
@crockett36 The Japanese setup is definitely Nov 41.
-
@crockett36 I hope to find your youtube video.

Doesn’t take you to his latest but should at least start having em pop up. or it did for me :)
