An oddity for me today: J5 and Japan just took Iraq. No one else has touched the middle east due to various reasons. India is turtled and earning 5 ipcs. London was taken and some bad roles seriously hindered the UK overall. U.S. just liberated London and is starting to gather in Pacific (2 turns til at full attack ready) So now Japan has Iraq with 5 inf and the SZ has a transport, carrier with 2 planes, a sub, and a cruiser. I’m thinking I might put a factory there and be a giant PIA the rest of the game. Threaten Cairo that way. Or support my attacks on Russia… about to finish off China.
Any need for French units beyond the setup?

I believe i read the poll question correctly YG The additional 4 unit bonus from liberating Paris is the only extra French units i’ve used in the OOB set up. Oztea’s 1941 asks for a bit more, which is fun, but obviously for a mod. Your purchases will be more than adequate IMO. The real question I want to know is…what’s this new UK Pacific Nation you speak of?? Excited to hear about that!

Hi ANZAC. For the HBG 1939 map, think of a 4x8 sheet of plywood. Its is HUGE and awesome. You need a big room for that size table plus room to walk around on all 4 sides. I only played the 1939 game one time and I can say it is definitely superior in a hundred different ways, but playing it is an order of magnitude more complex than global 1940. Global 1940 seems like the kiddie game next to it, which is nuts because global 1940 is not an easy game by any means. I’d say your best bet is to get the global 1940 if only for the pieces, and then blow the extra money for the 1939 map and elite pieces if and when you and your crew outgrow it. Another option is to play 1940 on this site with triplea.

That is indeed the strategy, and it relies on the allies having pretty bad luck to smash up those stacks without losing 50% of your starting planes. Germany can replace the planes, but not at the same time as it builds mechs, armor stax Japan has even more planes, but it needs even more than Germany does because without them, its a paper tiger. The problem with doing these stub attacks is if you lose more than 50% of your starting air power before turn 5, you will not be able to force your victory cities and strategic objectives. The consequences are felt several turns later (7,8), when you cant smash stax because you lost your mobile strikeforce.
