I think the theory is that the fighters don’t actually enter the airspace around the factory, so AA guns at/around the factories wouldn’t actually engage them.

I've balanced Global, now 50/50 wins
G1, flip a coin. Heads Russia Joins Axis, Tails, Stays Allied.
That’s it.
Large enough sample size, Allied/Axis will split wins 50/50!

RE: AA Global 40 electronic map?
If anyone is good at Java, feel free to step up and help. C# is worthless to me in this.

RE: Do you use "ALPHA SENARIO" set-up for Global 1940?
again, play whatever you want. our group doesn’t think that the alpha SCENARIO as-is fixes the game balance.
also, if you are playing a house rule where USSR/Japan doesn’t attack one another, then you can’t say the alpha setup is better for the normal ruleset.

RE: Do you use "ALPHA SENARIO" set-up for Global 1940?
1) I’ve played now 12 games of global. This isn’t my 2nd game.
2) Of course Larry suggested you use it, he wants people to test the alpha.

Perhaps I should have rephrased. US makes 52 until it goes to war. Turn 4. Japan attacking UK/Anzac doesn’t trigger the +30.

The alpha setup should not be used for G40. G40 obviously has more depth, hurdles and not to mention 18 Russian infantry staring at you. Slowing down the Japs in G40 makes no sense.
I think it is going to have to be less about a unit balance, and more about a rules change to make G40 work, perhaps something where the US’s NO doesn’t trigger unless Japan directly attacks the US.

Alaska wasn’t a state until 1958. So TECHNICALLY…

RE: Do you use "ALPHA SENARIO" set-up for Global 1940?
I meant for every space on the g40 board. I thought someone did that where we could print that off and use that rather than the box tops….

RE: Do you use "ALPHA SENARIO" set-up for Global 1940?
actually i meant a listing like what you posted for the alpha, but with the OOB setup. For G40.

RE: Do you use "ALPHA SENARIO" set-up for Global 1940?
on a similar note, does anyone have a link to a post (i’m sure I saw it) with the corrected OOB setup for pac40? I want to be able to stop using the damn box tops, esp when they aren’t correct and typo’d!
much appreciated.

RE: Do you use "ALPHA SENARIO" set-up for Global 1940?
I’m against the Alpha setup as I have read it because it weakens Japan for Pac40 setup, which to me makes an already allied favored g40 setup that much worse.
Calvin (or whoever) can you reply with the EXACT setup changes for Alpha, I’ve had 2 people pm me about not being able to wade through 340 pages on LH’s forums.

rhetorical.
sigh.
this is my major prob w/you kiddo. you post to post, to get that counter next to your name ticking away.

RE: Do you use "ALPHA SENARIO" set-up for Global 1940?
to be fair, the pacific errata fixes errors on WOTCs part which would be corrected in a reprint. You guys should check them out, dropping the anzac major to a minor etc.
can’t agree more w/the “alpha” setup. it’s not official until there’s a reprint or at least in a FAQ on the publisher’s website.
and to be fair, shouldn’t it be more of a 2.0 or 1.01 setup? Alpha/Beta terminology applies to something BEFORE it is released as final.

RE: Official optional rules?
and with the OOB setup delay is all they can do. the only chance axis has in this game as it stands RIGHT NOW is to get the better player in control of it.
-
RE: Official optional rules?
See Pac40 forums for my thoughts on a game that no one else though was unbalanced at this same point after release. What’s that? Alpha setup? Why would we need that now if everyone who jumped all over me and others who dared say that LH made an unbalanced game were wrong.
Calvin: stop playing in your room by yourself.

RE: Alpha better gameplay?
having less units to project power with quickly for japan is bad. Let me try it this way. Wipe all the units off the board for everyone. Keep the same starting IPCs/Territories. Who wins? Allies.
Taking off US planes that aren’t going to DO anything DIRECTLY to Japan for 3 turns has 0 impact on the battles in China/India/Russia. Removing Zeros, does.

RE: Alpha better gameplay?
have to agree. they want to make a pac40 alpha setup, great. But it has no place in global. the game already favors the allies oob.
-
RE: Official optional rules?
there needs to be. I keep seeing these polls where games are going 50/50. I don’t buy it. Then you factor in the alpha setup? I really have a hard time buying the game is balanced.
