What happens to France's IPC's after it's fall??

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?

We were strictly following the setup, rules and NOs from Larry’s thread on A2:

We didn’t want to make stuff up since the stuff we’d make up would naturally benefit the person coming up with it!

Too many rule differences are confusing and has caused many arguments while playing.  That’s why we decided to stick to rules Larry came up with - OOB, A1 or A2.

Not yet.

@Krieghund:

You guys are right, the USSR would simply not get the units.  However, the Soviets only have to control the territory during the Mobilize New Units phase, not for the entire turn.

Good point, kinda like the Burma Road (or any NO). Just decide if its worth the resources to take it back to get the free inf.

The justification is that the US had a tiny peacetime establishment, while the USSR already maintained a huge army.  The jump towards all-out war production was much bigger for the Americans.

Well I’m not sure if modifications are necessary or not since Alpha +2. But then again, I wasn’t exactly planning on writing a strategy guide, just a beginner’s guide, hence the title.

But these are just mumblings of mine, thanks for the feedback guys!

Also: this should have been in Global 1940 :|

I typically play with 2-3 people. Too many people makes the game waaaay to slow and too few makes it too boring.

@Krieghund:

I haven’t seen the finished product yet, so all I know is “blue”.

I think powder blue would be appropriate for the french.
