Alpha 3 Setup Map

Yea, I agree w/the new convoy rules. Not sure if I like Alpha 2 or Alpha 3 better yet, as I haven’t played Alpha 3. But, I do know that w/out bidding that Alpha 2 was broken. In my opinion favored toward the Allies. Not sure why they didn’t just give the Axis a few more units or the Allies a few less and just stick w/Alpha 2. I think giving the Axis 6 to 8 more IPC’s would balance the game.

@variance: Use the second edition rules and setup.  You can download them here: http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=28703.0 Here’s the history in case you care.  What happened was they released the first editions of 1940 Europe and Pacific a few years ago but then people immediately figured out that if you put those 2 together to make the global game it was hopelessly screwed up.  So for the next 2+ years all the experts played and played and talked and talked and talked and the company every so often put out new versions of the rules and setup that were called alpha 1, alpha 2, and so on until FINALLY they released the second edition, which is just about perfect. "Thanx for the input, much easier to understand now    So I’ll use 2ed rules, but some of the player aides & charts for +3 & +3.9 look like an easier read & are cool.  So I’ll compare them to the 2ed rules & set-ups & should be able to use those ok.  Thanx again.

the occasional cruiser Yea the ones you start with, because I doubt you’ll be building others.

@Alsch91: Normally I think UK could take back both Shan State and Yunnan on UK 3 before pulling back to Calcutta. Thus your planes have no landing spot. Might be costly, but also might be worth it for the reasons you suggested.

Thank you both, for helping me out here

@allweneedislove: @Kobu: The map was posted in the other thread. yeah i did not realize it when i posted it. i just checked the other thread. it does not have the india canada swap or the added inf in romania Sorry, I forgot them. I didn’t feel like editing the sektors.

@The: @Cmdr: @94Canuck: For whatever reason my Alpha 3 thread hasn’t been sticky’d yet, so search for that instead of using the Alpha 2 if you want.  It is on the 2nd or 3rd page of threads. Just a thought, but if you PM me the link to your new one it might help you get it stickied.  Just spit ballin here. wink Yea, cause then we would only need like 5 more until this whole page is stickied. And that’s what we want. Time to retire a few.
