Finding a Game board

Slackaveli, the tech is the same as old rules and continued in to Global, except research is not lost like it is in Global. NOs are: Germany: 5 if Axis control all of: France, NW, Germany, Hung, Rom and Poland.               5 if Axis control 3 of these: Baltic, E Poland, Ukraine, E Ukraine and Belorussia.               5 if Axis control either Karelia or Caucasus. Russia:    5 if Russia controls Archangel &no Allied units present onRussian controlled Territory             10 if Allies control 3 of: Norway, Finland, Poland, Romania, Hung or Balkans. UK:         5 if Allies control E and W Canada, Gib, Egy, Aus and S Africa.               5 if Allies control any original Japanese territory.               5 if Allies control either FrNce or Balkans. Japan:     5 if control all: Manc, Kiangsu and French Indo- China.              5  if con 4 of: Kwant, EI, Borneo, Phil, New Guinea or Solomons.              5 if control one of: Hawaii, Aus or India. US.         5 if con all West, Central and Eastern US.              5 if con Philippines.              5 if Allies control France.              5 if control 3 of: Midway, Wake, Hawaii or Solomons. Italy:      Do you need this?

In the light of day I understand you better now, and it’s right that you can calculate your defences/attacks better in LL, so you will end up using lesser resources for “just in case” or “just to be sure” situations. And ofcourse, if there’s a huge pile of trns on a “just enough to keep 1 DD left” fleet, someone made a mistake, because you have to calculate your losses if things go wrong in too. It’s like a 30% chance to take Ger with UK, no one would doubt about that, since the potential gains far outweigh the potential losses, thus tilting the average gain in your direction. That aspect is still in LL though, be it less severe (it’s a question of adding 1 DD instead of 1 BB “to be sure”). @Telamon: But as long as you have fun, that’s all that matters. I couldn’t agree more! (and sry for my tendency to overreact :oops: )

@oztea: The following straights are added to the game board, unlike canals, a player needs only to control one territory to control naval access to the adjacent sea zones. Submarines and air units may move normally. Gibraltar – No units may cross the border dividing sea zones 12 and 13 without control of Gibraltar Denmark – No units may enter or exit sea zone 5 without control of Northwest Europe Dardanelles – No sea units, not even subs, may enter or exit sea zone 16 without control of Turkey I play with this in all my games, alot more fair 1. I find the Coastal Guns rules (Surface Ships ONLY – subs can pass freely. You NEED DDs to restrict the passage of subs.) from AARHE much more useful for Gibraltar and the Channel passage issues. To pass Gibraltar, Sz 1 to Sz 2 or vice versa, all Axis Surface Ships ONLY are subject to fire from the Fortress Guns at Gibraltar - Hit on a 1 or 2. To Pass through the narrowest point in the Channel, between Dover and Pas de Calais, all surface ships - either side - are subject to gun emplacements of the other side (that also spent the war firing on each other - yes, they were quite long ranged) - Hit on a 1. [Note: With Historical Setup you can even re-enact the ‘Channel Dash’ of the BB’s Scharhorst/Gneisenau [http://www.german-navy.de/kriegsmarine/ships/battleships/index.html ] and their accompanying Destroyer escorts. Set up 1 BB and 1 DD in Sz 7 {1941 Scenario} to re-enact the Dash. For {1942 Scenario} both set up in the Baltic and the BB has a Damage Marker underneath. To reflect the surprise of the British, the guns only get to fire at the BB’s, not the DDs.  2. Agreed, although Norway must also be controlled to enter Baltic. Although, while I always play it that way, Allied subs are free to pass through the Kattegat if they survive a Mine Roll [1-3 Sink, 4-6 Pass].  8-) See also [http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=15710.msg517854#msg517854 ] This works really well when you add the following NO that was curiously omitted from AA50 - and honestly, anyone who believes the NO objectives are biased towards the Axis should look at Italy’s NO.  [The UK & USA just suck up the IPCs with their generous NOs.] Germany: •  Gain 5 IPCs if Axis control Baltic [Sz5] - with no Allied naval units present, plus control the following adjacent territories: NW Europe, Germany, Poland, Baltic States, Finland, and Norway. Allied subs, even Russian, can be real thorns in the Axis side - although at least the German Navy does not just roll over and die so easy anymore, especially with AA Cruisers / Old BBs (incl. captured BB’s/Cruisers fitted out for AA role).  You could also go further, if anyone plays with the Soviet Baltic Fleet accurately represented as the Eastern Baltic entrance (S of Finland) was also heavily mined by Germany/Finland during the 1st week of the attack from June 41. [But thats a topic for a future thread. wink 3. Agreed. To do otherwise is just inaccurate as even the Main UK fleet in WW1 lost BBs just entering the Southern end of the Dardanelles.  The turks have the length of the Dardanelles heavily fortified with Forts and Mines.  Certain Suicide for any attempt to pass.  :roll: PS: Don’t forget to check out the following Improved China Mod: http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=15626.0 ]

Concerning the time-scale of one turn this post may be interesting: http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=13547.0

Triple A build 1.0.3.4 lobby should be working fine.  Was on last night, just connect anonymously.  I usually have to use Hamachi to get around router issues. ALWAYS play your games on tripleA if you can, btw, its so much faster than PBEM.  Even if you have to start over (if it crashes), but I haven’t seen any crashes so far.

Smoke a bowl…
