Thanks!…

Sorry to ask these questions so late but it has just come up in one of our recent games and I couldn’t fine the answer using the board’s search engine.  So….here goes:

A sea zone containing an English cruiser and carrier with one fighter along with a Russian sub, is attacked by a German fleet containing one sub, one bomber, one cruiser, and a battleship.  Neither side has a destroyer.

The questions are:

1.  “does the Russian sub get first strike capabilities along with the German sub?”
2.  “if 1. is yes, does it fire back on a roll of 1?”
3.  “if 1. is no, does it defend on the normal combat roll?”

Any help would be appreciated…thanks!

@revencher:

Every thing sounds good to me except for the drive to Ellenton. How long of a drive is that?

The drive for me from Temple Terrace is about 45 minutes.  I go straight down I75 so if you could find a convenient and safe place to park your car just off I75 you could ride with me.  I have a friend from Lakeland that parks his car at Moe’s, just off Route 60 at I75, on the nights that we go to Arena Football at the St Pete Times Forum so maybe you could park there.  We usually get started late in the AM and play a little after supper.  We normally go out to dinner for a break but that’s not set in gold.  Since we are retired we can play any day of the week and can set the game day for any week day or weekend your prefer.

Two of us usually play once a month in Ellenton and would love to have a third.  We play Global '40, 1st Ed., with Alpha 2 Rules.  Our win/loss criteria is a little different from the normal Rules.  We just played last Wednesday so it will be a few weeks before we play again.  We are in our 60s and retired/non-smokers.  PM me if you are interested and I will email you my phone number.

My ISP (Bright House) has sent a lot of my email back lately.  I think they are having some system problems.  Seems to be OK now.  No, haven’t found anymore people interested except for one player that lives in Ellenton, near Bradenton.  We have played in the past and at one time had five players but over the years three of them left for various reasons, mostly job related.  So, I guess you would say that right now there are only two of us.  We are in our 60s and retired.  If you’re interested, we’d love to have a third and hopefully grow our group back to five.

Looking to start an A&A Gaming Group in or near Tampa, FL.  I have the games and extras but not the space.  Anyone interested within 50 miles of Tampa please respond to jonreeder @ tampabay.rr.com.

Thanks very much Krieghund!  That info really helps.

Our group is going to try this version next weekend and I have just two questions:

1.  “There will be NO major neutral Powers” – What is a major neutral and how are neutrals played in this version?

2.  Is Germany 5th or 9th?

HI Jeremy!  We have a very small group that plays once a month.  Currently, we have just two players as we have lost a few in the last few months.  We play Global 40 (alpha +2 with house rules), '42, Revised, and are currently waiting for 1914 to arrive to give that a spin.  Would love to hear from you as I’m sure our playing location is close to you.  We have all the AA games except 1941 and global 2nd edition.  Send me an email at jonreeder@tampabay.rr.com and I’ll reply with my phone number.
