@FranceNeedsMorePower Great job on the video, I watched the whole thing. One rule I realized I have been playing wrong for years is in Europe when Germany/Italy takes over Normandy/Southern France. I didn’t know that if USA or UK liberated Normandy or Southern France that they would collect those IPCs until France itself is liberated. We have our yearly game coming up at end of the month and we will make this adjustment. Again, nicely done on the video.

RE: France's role in Global 1940 SE
@FranceNeedsMorePower That sounds great. I love watching Axis & Allies content, it really relaxes me to be honest. General Hand Grenade has some great videos out that I consider to be “classics”. Floating Bridge, Middle Earth, ANZAC, China, etc. Good luck on your video and let us know when it is published, I am sure you will get a decent number of views.

RE: France's role in Global 1940 SE
@FranceNeedsMorePower I have never seen an Axis & Allies 1940 Global France Strategy youtube video. Every other playable power/country in the game has one, even China. Maybe you should make one? Topics could be: 1. What to do with that French Fighter? (much like the Flying Tigers for China), 2. The mighty French Navy and how best to utilize it, and 3. “Consolidation of Defensive Strength - Determine the area of battle” in regard to North African French forces (this ties in to element #7 of AndrewAAGamer’s Warfare Principles.

RE: France's role in Global 1940 SE
I find it amazing that there has been this much discussion on France “having a role” in this game. So much so that I logged in and made a post for the first time in roughly 365 days. I love it and think it is hilarious!

RE: Global 1942 Scenario by Larry Harris
With Germany in Global 42 this is what I like to do. Turn one you need to purchase an aircraft carrier. This allows you to attack the UK battleship and transport on turn one with the two planes from western Germany, 2 subs and a cruiser. I also buy an airbase on turn one. This goes on Greece. On combat movement take the infantry and tank from southern Europe to cypress to deny the UK national objective. Make sure to land 3 German fighters or tactical bombers on Greece to defend the two German boats. The airbase and fighters make it hard for the UK to hone in on any of the German or Italian boats. In this version I use Germany to get Italy kick started in the Mediterranean. Regarding Russia for the first few turns I try and use dead zones and reposition/consolidate my forces.

Sub rule
Global 1942 Larry Harris setup has a Japanese submarine starting in seazone 49 with a variety of USA boats, including a destroyer. On Japan’s first turn, can the sub leave that seazone or is it required to immediately fight due to the presence of the destroyer?
Thanks

Nation specific chips
I noticed in a YouTube video today from hilltop pillbox that the board they were playing on had nation specific chips. Green for USA, yellow for UK, gray for Germany, red for Russia, etc.
Does this help in any way? Does it make each nation’s forces easier to see on the board? Does it keep someone from accidentally “cheating” when doing a random chip out?

Convoy Dice
Has anyone ever made a small set of convoy dice? A “1”, “2”, “3”, and blanks for 4,5,6. Let me know if you know of anyone that sells this or any ideas to make my own.

@taamvan
We always play the the Larry Harris 1942 setup. I notice here that it shows an update from Greg Smorey and Kevin Chapman. Looks like one extra uboat and one extra German tank in Libya. Is this setup approved by Larry Harris? -

@azpathfinder
I’m thinking of printing this map. It looks great. What material did you use? -
RE: Seeking advice on applying paint correctly and well
@trenacker
I’ve been painting some pieces the last two weeks. I’m having trouble with Rustoleum Lemongrass for the UK. The paint doesn’t apply very well. I use Eden for USA, French blue for France, rustic orange for Japan, flat gray for Germany. Lemongrass is just a pain for whatever reason. -
Der Kuenstler
Anyone know if Der Kuenstler is okay? His YouTube channel has disappeared. I really enjoyed his videos.

RE: Seeking advice on applying paint correctly and well
@Trenacker
Low humidity is key. Also, some of the paints the GI Joe uses are easier to work with than others. But they are all workable. Another key is to prime the pieces with the gray primer. This helps the paint adhere better. Practice makes perfect. Use the Super Clean degreaser when you make a booboo. -
RE: Seeking advice on applying paint correctly and well
@trenacker
You can use Super Clean degreaser to remove paint from messed up paint jobs. You can buy this at any auto parts store. It comes in a purple container. Just put them in a jar, shake it up a little, and let it sit overnight. Works amazingly well. -
Airfix Infantry 1/72
I’m curious as to how many people use Airfix/Italerie/Revell/etc 1/72 infantry units in their games. I used to be against this preferring the OOB units, but I have spent a small fortune over the last week buying different sets on eBay to add “spice” to the game. Bottom line is I’m having fun researching the sets and also learning more WW2 history as I go. It’s amazing the detail some of these infantry pieces have! Has anyone else been bit by this bug?

RE: G40 VANN FORMULAS RESULTS
I agree with Triple A X Ray. Seems like this power rating chart doesn’t take a lot of variables into account.

RE: Seazone question
I guess I am asking if you can “reinforce” a seazone during non combat phase after you cleared it in combat phase.

Seazone question
If I conduct an amphibious invasion on Japan in seazone 6, or really any seazone for that matter, can I leave boats behind (carriers to avoid kamikaze in this case), and then move them into seazone 6 on non combat? Assuming I cleared the seazone. In last game I brought the carriers and opponent rolled 3 kamikaze on each carrier causing me to lose some planes.
