OK, so France falls. Germany takes it’s IPCs.

On France’s turn does it’s Colonial possessions produce IPC’s???

If so do we just save those IPCs until France is liberated then spend them?

@gen-manstein

Yeah, you’re right, that was pretty extra of me, I’m sorry you guys had to see that.

All the same though, I’m not gonna stand by and let jack bags be jack bags in a place that we literally talk about moving plastic pieces on a board, it’s just not okay. And frankly, I went right with it. Tried to be civil, was respectful in initial constructive criticism, even tried to end the whole thing and leave it behind, but what are you gonna do when they just love to keep digging that grave.

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

Wittman is right about the importance of taking Paris with Germany. A couple weeks ago, my group had an interesting development– Germany failed to take Paris due to horrific rolls. Usually, that would end the game, but the Italian Player ended up taking it, and he went wild with the extra income-- he controlled all the Med and knocked the Allies out of North Africa and was well on the way to South Africa by I5 or I6. Despite Italy’s success, Germany was never able to get that subtle edge over the Soviets.

Without the income boost, Germany cannot mount a very viable SeaLion, AND the build-up to Barbarossa is too anemic to make the push on Moscow really strong. It is amazing how vital that 17 IPC boost is for maintaining a good head of steam.

@wwestpro:

@Spitfire38:

Quick Alpha +3 rule question. Does the US still have the 30 IPC bonus during wartime? (for just europe, and for global) thanks!

Krieghund has answered this question for me already (I’m in the same situation). Basically, there is no definite answer yet because they haven’t finalized the rules for global. Once they do, they can narrow it down for pacific and europe only maps.

What I have been doing is using Alpha 3 and giving the US only 20 IPCs more to balance it out a bit. You’ll find that the US is way too strong with 30.

Thanks…20 IPCs sounds like a good “bid”, or inverse bid/penalty I guess :lol:

I’ll have to try that. I’ll let you know!

Besides, the Soviets aren’t even in the Pacific version, and West India is balanced by British Columbia, so it’s even there and the European UK doesn’t get more…

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?

In my curent game, the UK attacked the Italian BB, CA and Trn fleet losing a Tac Bomber and one hit on the UK carrier, letting the fighter from Alexandria land on the island in the UK Med. This move put a serious hurt on the Italians. They were faced with three bad problems. The French fleet would have to be ignored during Italy-1. The Italians could move 2 inf with their other transport to Trans-Jordan to close the Med via the Suez, but then this would doom the transport. Or the Italians could attack the UK fleet of 1 damaged CV, CA and DD with 1 CA, 1 DD & 2 figs. I opted for this attack and brought the tranny hoping it would be able to survive after the UK-2 turn. The UK got a hit and I killed the UK fleet. France came over with their CA and DD and finished the job so the Italians have no fleet in the Med at all at the end of turn 1. It will be a miracle if the Italians make anything happen before the US runs into and all over Africa.

The UK-1 attack of the Italian fleet looks so strong I can’t imagine it not being done. Can the UK not build enough infantry to prevent any possible Sealion so they will always be able to execute the Med attack on the Italian Navy?

Would it be crazy to wait until turn 2 to take France with Germany?

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.

Thanks for the comprehendsive explanation. As to where I have been in the past 8 months or 8 years for that matter is playing in AA revised in a small pool of players in a small backwaters town in Canada. I joined this site about 2 months ago and having thought AA Pac,Euro, revised were the ONLY 3 flavours until Spring 42 came out. It has been a suprise to see all the versions and new concepts (NOs, new techs etc, neutral powers). It also seems I am beeing schooled on Spring 42 by fleetwood dan much to my chagrin. I have much to learn!
