@simon33 The French volunteered to hold off the Germans. They have been training for 9 rounds for this defense.

RE: Why would you attack on J2
I agree with you dem even though I think a J1 attack actually makes it easier to get to DEI as you dont have to worry about allied units on the ground in the DEI.
I think that a UK 2 attack could be a good counter to a planned J3 attack. Not sure yet but if that is true than maybe its worth attacking J2 to get rid of the advantages of the UK2 attack which if Japan isnt planning on it can be a pain.
Kind of a nice thing about this game. At least right now with more options available to everyone on the first few turns it makes it a little less cookie cutter than previous games where openings were almost always the same with just slight differences.

RE: G40 Balance Mod - Rules and Download
I’m trying to get a rules answer, and hoping this is the right thread for it since it’s a scenario unique to balance mod. Seems silly that a marine unloaded from a transport with zero combat involved would be that much different than a marine unloaded from a cruiser with zero combat. There had been talk in this thread about not being able to have kamikazes if there was no combat. But never an actual decision as far as I can tell.
I don’t care what the answer is I would just like to see where the rule was already answered or hear the consensus on the rule from the designer. It’s not a rare scenario so I’m sure it has come up before and just looking for the answer to the rules question.

RE: Allied Playbook Draft v1.0
@simon33 Sure, the scrambling worked out fine and was probably the right call. But you have to be willing to trade some other objectives in exchange for killing the luftwaffe. I think after you scrambled, you could have ignored the sub and did some different things in the indian ocean so that if Italy went for Egypt you could defend it. It just seems like you went for almost every UK option available and that means you were too thin to defend Egypt which is a lot to give up in the early game. You cant do everything.

RE: G40 Balance Mod - Feedback Thread
@Karl7 If germany buys naval on g1, then allies should be able to defend against a southern push if they make the right purchases and position units effectively. If germany invests more than g1 on navy then russia should be able to do more than just delay germany. Germany can still squeak by into the Middle East if allies dont position things right but that gives Russia a bit more time to build up as well and then they should be able to hold for a long time.
If germany buys all ground on g1 and g2, then germany can indeed push through russia at will, but then allies should be able to easily gain control of atlantic and med and they can use that to make necessary gains.
Germany cant both push russia around and support a navy unless allies make some questionable decisions.

RE: UK/Anzac AAA convert dutch territories?
Rulebook page 26
Infantry, artillery, mechanized infantry, tanks, and AAA (antiaircraft artillery) can attack and defend only in territories. Only
infantry, artillery, mechanized infantry, and tanks can capture hostile territories or convert friendly neutrals. All can be carried
by transports.Just makes it consistent with the already existing rules. AAA cant be used to take ownership of a territory. Existing rule considered everything but the issue of guardianship of dutch territories. This ruling just adds to that rule and makes it include everything instead of everything but the dutch territories.

RE: G40 Balance Mod - Feedback Thread
@Karl7 In two of your recent games I saw, Germany built carriers round 1 and a few support vessels, and still got past Rostov on G5. If you let that happen things definitely get ugly quick. But a few different decisions and that can be prevented and if you can hold off another round or two things improve significantly.

RE: Simon33 (X) vs ksmkcay (L+8) BM3
if I left a single US inf in Tunisia, would you leave it alone or attack with the italians? My guess is you would attack it, so trading one ipc for US for an inf seems like a bad trade. Especially since I dont have a supply line of US troops headed to North Africa. This way I get the 5 ipc bonus and dont risk any US troops which I value a lot more than Tunisia for a single turn.

RE: WW2 Path to Victory - Feedback Thread
i think proposal A sounds more interesting. Significant increase to the cost of a loaded carrier and as you said there will be higher plane to carrier ratio. for attacking blockers and ground and such 3:1 vs 2:1 should make a big difference.
Im sure proposal B would work too, but it seems boring.

RE: L20 #1 trulpen (X+3) vs ksmckay (A) BM3
Some nice perks to germans having yugo. Also, g3 dow means no war with russians so extra NO for germany and minus a NO for russia. And G2 or G3 doesnt really make a difference in getting to Ukr or breaking through Rostov. Nothing wrong with G2 but G3 works just as well.
