Been playing for a few years now on and off and was looking to take it to the next level in terms of a dedicated playing area. Any of you folks got pitcures of your play areas for ideas for my project. Would be greatly appreciated. :-)

RE: The Research & Development Rule
This is a great idea. Will introduce this into our group. Maybe 15 ipc for the centre 12 seems a bit cheap, air base and naval base are 15….
Oh I agree BulwFi… lol
haha what are the chances

RE: Current Global Game
@Cow:
You got to DOW J1 in bad europe situations. Push for that pacific victory.
Then again, russia looks like he has no idea what he is doing. China messed up royally as well.
For someone claiming devastation to german air… guess that is the stuff you had to rebuild. Germany is about a turn behind on russia, but russia is about to make himself go a turn behind. Japan is a turn late on war, but china decided to stack up in front of all of japan it seems.
So basically, the axis got bad luck, the allies made Japan’s job easy by suiciding china despite late DOW… Oh yes, how do you have borneo when you are not at war with USA? UK pac declared war on you and the only thing you could take away was borneo?
Is the med fleet from UK heading over to the pacific? Well I guess since they are free units, may as well have fun.

Russia putting mid size stacks in front of full stacks = idiot player -> easy win for axis.belarus looks like a legit strafe run for germany. you would need, under 16 hits or get stuck there. He has 14 rolls, you got 18 rolls? bigger dice (not including air here). You may as well wack it and retreat.
Unless you got enough for bryansk (can’t see how many if you got there so can’t tell if you can win that battle).
But yeah, why did you rebuy the luffewaffe on g2? usually G2 if you do barb, that is your full mech/armor buy so you can push russia hard and quick so you can get some minors under your belt. then you get the luffewaffe again later.
Still, axis in a slump because of dice, but looks like the allies needed that kind of luck to be in the game.
I am pretty sure you will still manage to get calcutta.
Avoid buying armor with Japan, you are almost always better off with mech.
China did stack up against Japan, however russia is playing well on the europe side of the map, that attack you speak of vs belarus was on my mind too, gives great position for taking leningrad the following turn, along side the Finland to Karelia attack. The attack is 12 armor, 3 fighters, 2 tacs, 4 mech and 2 inf although if i get over 17(not likely) im wide open to his counter from bryansk. That would put me back at least 2 or 3 rounds.
Attacking bryansk is madness because i dont have enough arty simply.
The Luff was bought G2 to help Italy in med but britian pulled out and sat off the coast of egypt.
Japan is in a great position for J4 in my opinion, as it can take the rest of the DEI and not present a target (that they can beat) for the allies. Borneo phillipines hongkong and fic was attacked on j3, therefor war with usa.
The British fleet is on its way to pacific however its 2 turns from doing anything.
Not a fan of J1 DOW, Usa makes to much money too early, India can really help china and then thats a serious problem. too risky for mostly conservative players :-D.
As Germany i feel i need to realy help Italy in the Med, (navy buys in southern france) no axis warships in the med is a serious problem. Was thinking if the German fleet of the coast of gibraltar survives ( not likeky) pulling it into the med. The down side to this is it takes my first line of defence away from an atlantic attack from britian and usa vs western europe.

RE: Preview Copies of 1940 Second Edition Arrived
5 ipc value to USSR is priceless

RE: Preview Copies of 1940 Second Edition Arrived
Soviets take Finland often enough, if Germany goes south Barbarossa, only for a turn or two mind.

RE: Russian Alpha 3 NO a Mistake?
Takes our group 4-5 hours a week for 3-4 weeks to finish a game. One word…… Epic.

RE: Current Global Game
French took Northern italy IC as all units had to defend rome from British turn 2.
Dunno why the USA went to Marshal as the player always go queensland. J3 Dowis the norm in our group cow. Next time im Japan im going to J2 Dow as i now see the benifits but havn’t played as Japan in long time.Japan to go next so DEI is the target i think.

RE: Current Global Game
Thanks for feed back, with regard to the bomber on the aircraft carrier we have run out of tac bombers for Japan so use stratagic bomber units and write ‘TB’ on them for tac bomber.

Current Global Game
Myself and 5 friends started this game last night. We called it a night a midnight and will take it up again at the weekend hopefully. Game is currently on round 4 Russian collect income phase.
German turn 1 started with a navy buy and attacked the British fleet, France etc. The Luftwaffe took heavy loses but the Royal navy got destroyed. German turn 2 build mostly Airforce to replace last rounds loses and 2 subs. Combat was to finish off the rest of the UK fleet which joined in sz 109 and take southern France to help the Italians with Navy buys, everything else moved east. German turn 3 Barbarosssa. German turn 4 moved into Ukraine with stack and built for northern push, attack us air/navy force in Gibraltar.
Russia turn 1 built Inf,Art and 1-2 Tanks and done non-combats. Russia turn 2 same. Russia turn 3 same with some units heading towards Iraq for NO’s. Russian turn 4 attacked German Ukraine forces and retreated after 1 round of combat.
Britian turn 1 bulit land units for UK and south Africa as the German airforce was destroyed, sea lion was unlikely to happen, Attacked and annihilated the Italian fleet in the Med for no loses to British fleet (not a single hit scored for Italy, awful luck)
Britain turn 2 Land and Air builds and finished off Italian navy.
Britain turn 3 Transport builds for South Africa and more Air for UK, most of Med fleet sets sail to pacific (Japan having a great opening few turns)Italy turn 1 Infantry buy took Greece, Italy turn 2 fighter buy and units toward eastern front for ‘can opener’. Turn 3 Air buys.
France floats around Med with 3 warships.
Africa after 3 full turns, Italy is non-existent in Africa
Atlantic after 3 turns, US destroyed in Gibraltar, German controled, USA and Britain to go next in turn order.
No DOW between Japan and USSR in Pacific.
Japan turn 1, build Minor IC and 2 transports attacks China, Fleet moves to SZ 36, Japan turn 2 Inf and Navy builds, attacks China stages for J3 DOW, Japan Turn 3 Tank and Navy builds, takes Borneo, Philliipines, Hong Kong, FIC and China is all but finished. Stages fleet in SZ 35 to counter any moves towards mainland or DEI
USA turn 1, 2 and 3 builds Air power and a few warships moves to Marshal Island and Air force to Queensland. Puts out a few blocking moves etc.
China turn 1,2 and 3 Dies basicly
UK Pacific turn 1, 2 and 3 Land forces buys to help China, takes Java and Sumatra, Pacific fleet moved to Med turn 1 and 2 is now sailing back to Pacific to help US and ANZAC.
ANZAC turn 1,2 and 3 buys a Navy to support US and Commonwealth in Pacific and takes a of New Guinea and Celebes for NO’s and extra IPCs
War in China
DEI and ANZAC
Move to come when i post rounds 4-8.
Any feedback or thoughts would be greatly welcome :lol:

RE: Russian Alpha 3 NO a Mistake?
I can’t see Germany fighting the USSR if they take London (Loose a bunch of ground forces and some planes) and the move their fleet down to Gibraltar (fully loaded to threaten USA) and still winning their fights against the USSR in eastern Europe and Finland/Scandinavia.
Doesn’t seem very likeley.
I would agree on this

RE: Russian Alpha 3 NO a Mistake?
What about a Soviet NO such as 3 or 5 ipc each for soviet control of leningrad and stalingrad. Theme Not one step back. However any additional Ipc bonus would make the game very predicable I.e Germany would have to do barbarossa every time, in my opinion.
