I sometimes think that details like this come down to a question of balance for the game. I’d rather have a game that was lacking in some of the historical detail but was more fun to play than a game that was very historically accurate but was a walk over for one side over the other.

RE: Japan 3 Turn India Strike for Global?
Personally I would forget about India. The reason being that if the UK falls and the US is putting everything in the pacific then they arent going to be liberated any time soon. If I understand the rules right UK can still build in India but forces in India are severly out of position to be of any help to the Europe UK. If you take the DEI like you propose then you should be in a good cash position to at least occupy the US/UK on the pacific side of the board while Italy/Germany take on Russia. Once Russia and the UK fall the game should be about as good as won.
Again very tough to say for sure without seeing the exact set up of the board but that is the way I think I would go given the information you gave.

RE: Axis & Allies Global 1942 Set Up
exactly what does blind play mean?

RE: Axis and Allies: Victories and the Victor Poll
good idea for a poll. I think it will give us something a little more scientific to think about when people complain that the game is broken because they can never win as a certain country.

RE: Enough German mech?
BTW… if you just bought P40 you may not know that they will send you extra tac bombers if you call them.

RE: Vichy France
How about a similar rule but for the allies in Italy…. something like the minute Rome is taken all Italy kicks out Musilini and becomes and Allie? LOL

RE: China how long does it stay around in your games?
@13thguardsriflediv:
Which 2 Novo inf (considering you are talking about Global)? In the Global game, Russia no can has 2 inf per turn in Novo.
Really? I know its a blurb in the Europe section of the RB, not in the Global. But its not a Euro only NO or a Global only NO, so I assumed that global was all of the euro rules and all the pacific rules, with a few added pieces, and the only difference was that you replaced the two sets of NO’s with the Global NO list. That means that you include rules like the Novo inf and Japanese Kamakazi tokens and the like.
To my understanding the NO in Europe that gives 2 inf to Russia in Novosibrisk while there are at war does not applie in Global. Those infantry in E40 represent infantry returning from the east. In Global those are the 18 infantry and the russian player returns them if they will. I dont have the rule book with me now so I cant look it up but I believe that Krieghund made this ruling else where in these forums. Does anyone remember where that ruling is?

RE: British IC in HK
another point to consider is would Japan attack the British early to get the IC if it meant bringing the US into the war early?

RE: Kill Australia First?
I havent tried it… but it seems like Australia would be just a little far out of the way for Japan and wouldnt give them enough IPC’s for when the US enters the war.
