I think you should pull out out A&A europe or pacific (the orginal ones), they are imo much better from a balance standpoint and have the best utilization of the convoy system. You could add that as a base and then add some cool stuff like tech, more lend lease, combined allied attacks, etc. And in those games turn 1 isnt as formulaic. At the beging of the europe game for example each side get 12 ipcs to spend and place them along with the other starting units… Allies can split it or spend it in one place. You have soo many options as to what you want to do with that.

Now how would I design a&a? Make a global version of the classic europe and pacific games, along with additional improvements on convoys, tech, multinational attacks, add a morale system, and overhaul some units that need it like aaguns. All the while try and make it as simplistic and smooth as I could.

Keep in mind buying bombers forces the axis player to keep valuable fighters on the defensive rather than Moscow for fear of getting bombed to death.

Would love to play this on triple a!!!

He is my chief of staff here at Allied HQ

oh, that’s funny. We’re signed on the same computer.

scramble?

i only play with those rules. They are great.

A far more effective strategy for me as the allied player is a meat grinder. Sending enough units every turn to Normandy, Holland, Denmark, or western Germany, having them take it back, rinse and repeat every turn. Thats forcing them to buy and reserve units for the western front. Eventually they will have to give in because of the needed consolidation, especially if German tries and fails to take Moscow.

The purpose of the allied playbook is to come up with strategies without a bid. Putting a bid on the game brings up too many variables. How much extra money, where it going, etc. Those kinds of discussions are best reserved for another topic as this topic’s main focus is on strategy. I believe that the allies can win without a bid. It just very difficult hence the need for the allied playbook.

yes thats a cheeky common strat.

Why would you waste Japanese lives for Yunnan? Japan starts with lots of air but very few infantry and they are all spread out. Better consolidate those guys at honan and meet up with other japanese units and taking it next turn for sure.

How zommable is the map? It would be cool to be able to see how detailed the unit models are up close?

I found a map of revised if anyone of you guys need one. It is by IL and includes the setup printed on the board enjoy!!!

Id probably skip on Iraq and go for Ethiopia. Its too dicey

Yeah Corpro24

You definitely should try wining without bids. If you look at the allied playbook and the victory conditions thread, we are definitely making progress. Global is not an average axis and allies game. It is completely different and is tilted towards the allies. What you need to win with the allies is a battle plan and stick with it. And remember, America is the key Come up with a plan for America and stick with it. React if you can but focus on the plan. If its a good plan, then you will win. If its a bad one you will fail.

no but i will try. Maybe he can scan the map and post it. Or i Could buy it off him.

It takes time, but eventually if you hit normandy, belgium, and denmark consistatly, you will. And once you do, you will be able to land us planes there and it becomes a fortress.

Map looks beautiful. Ive contacted copro24 he hasnt responded. He seems to be busy recently. Im mainly looking for a map file. I got Photoshop in January and im trying to make a revised skin of global. Would like a map file to compare what im doing to.
