Alpha 3 Setup Map

I think it sounds like you have sound plan.  I don’t think I will spend nearly as much time in the Pacific next game as the allies early because I have seen that Germany becomes a beast if it is allowed to have it’s way with Russia.  I agree that you will have to most likely come back to save the day in the Pacific at a certain point with the US but hopefully you will have accomplished your goals in Europe by that time with the US.

The red I posted was Larry’s summary of others in the long pages of posts.  I actually do not agree with everything in red in my previous post, I just wanted to jump start the brainstorming. At this point, I could keep the current rules with a small change of damage (3 +1d6).   or just 2d6. A lot is going on at the Larry Harris site and I wanted more participation by members of  this forum. Many of us do not post at the other site very often.

Thank you both, for helping me out here

@Omega1759: That’s what I would do, but his move was to bring the destroyer in 104 to block the German fleet and prevent boxing the med fleet in the Med. Strategic Bomber from N. Italy to SZ 104. 85.49% chance of clearing the destroyer. (Slightly better than 50% chance to survive.)

@Young: @Ruanek: @Young: @Omega1759: @mantlefan: @knp7765: Did anyone else notice that Germany loses a Tac bomber in Western Germany?  As if it wasn’t already hard enough sinking the Royal Navy, now I’m down a plane. I am at Harris Game design and see 3 there. Did they edit it back or am I missing something? They fixed a typo that was there originally. if you’re were going to work on something so long, and so important, to so many people, wouldn’t you triple check it before you release it? Hey, mistakes happen.  They caught it and fixed it.  There’s no need to complain about it anymore. Fair enough. Yeah, I went back and checked again and saw it was corrected.  Looks like the only thing changed in the setup is the Italian fleet, the Italian strat bomber and  the # of AA guns for everyone.

If the US is forced to split it’s income their could come a time where it could haved saved the day at Hawaii or get much needed support to a victory city in Europe but it’s hands will have been tied because of polictial rules and the Axis will win. To be honest I don’t really want to win that way.  I respect your position but I do disagree with it.  I would love to see the Axis made a little stronger but I am actually feel pretty comfortable with the USA staying as is for the most part.

@mrninjaz: One more question for you folks that have A&A40, is there a difference in the scale of the pieces from the older games, or are they the same? Mostly the same.  The British and German battleships are a bit larger than the earliest version of those pieces.  And there’s also the special case of the Stuka dive bomber, which was used (in a smaller version) in the earliest games as the German fighter piece, before the current fighter piece was introduced.  The Europe 1940 Stuka, which is correctly used as a tac bomber, is bigger than the one which was previously incorrectly used as a fighter.

I would be super sad without starting transports lol. No J1 DOW lol Yeah the 1942 version of global is fun
