This move by the Russian BB also came up in our game this afternoon. We decided it was not allowed since the rules state that you have to control Denmark to pass.

However we have to wait what the rule book says and if the rule book doesn’t cover this what Krieghund clarifies.

That one is not a true NO of course, but it’s from part 3 of the preview by DJensen. Krieghund also confirmed it by saying it won’t be in the global game.

We are playing a AAE40 game tomorrow but unfortunately that will have to be without NO’s unless they pop up tonight… (hint, DJensen, hint  :-D).

So far we have the following:
Germany

• 5 for denmark, norway, and a neutral or axis sweden.
• 5 for being at peace with the soviets
• 5 for each soviet VC
• 3 for having a land unit in egypt

Soviet Union
+5 for being at war, no allied units on their territories and SZ125 and controlling Archangel
+6 for each original german territory if they have all of their originals

• 2 inf in Novosibirsk while being at war with any axis

UK
+5 for getting rid of the subs in the atlantic

Italy
+5 for getting all the allied warships out of the med
+5 for southern france, egypt, and greece

USA

• 30 for being at war

France

• 4 inf when Paris is liberated

They would need to take over Gibraltar first and then sail through the big Atlantic…… Not sure if they can pull this off before the USA kicks them out.

@Krieghund:

@Napoleon:

And for the infantry pop up……apply to global too?..seems so

No.

Those 2 infantry are free gifts in the Europe game? So you don’t have to pay 6 IPC for them right?

Thanks for the clarifications Krieg. 

Now here’s the trick, that’s how you see it, but how did the game designers see it?

The Russian declaring war on Germany if attacked by Japan thing is not quite clear to me. The text can be explained in two directions.

When a major industrial complex is captured, immediately downgrade it to a minor industrial complex. Adjust any damage to be no more than 6.

This is pretty new and unexpected…… 

Meaning Germany can forget pumping out a lot of units in France nor producing 10 inf a turn if they can pull off a succesfull Sea Lion.

Don’t make the mistake of letting yourself guide by Miamibeach on this one. 

By making the attacks as I described against the UK fleet you have a good chance of pulling off SeaLion on G3. G2 is too early IMHO and performing poor attacks against the UK fleet might see your invasion fleet be sunk on UK2 (50% battle is good enough for the UK to leave the Italians and attack the Germans).

However when talking tactics I always reason from optimal play and average dice. And with those two in mind, UK has nothing better to do with her CV and tactical then attacking the Italians in the Med in SZ 95. That’s the topic of this thread if I am correct.
