I don’t think they would be allowed to use the powers of the base because it isn’t theirs.

RE: The Ultimate Axis and Allies Global 1940 Video of ALL TIME
Well it doesn’t have to be all done up like that. Maybe leave a camera on during the course of the game and edit out the pauses in play. That is what I was thinking.

RE: Can't win a Global game with Sea Lion
I think the US is not allowed in any territory other than it’s own until a DOW has been made against it, or the turn limit expires.

RE: Japan/USSR Non-Aggression Pact
The main reason Stalin had not brought his Siberians in earlier was because his spies had told him that Japan might try and invade. Trust me, the last thing you want is a two front war.

RE: Can't win a Global game with Sea Lion
No question about it, if UK is out of the game and the US is forced to focus on the pacific, the axis will win. I think the objective of a good axis player is to take Africa with Italy, push carefully into Russia with Germany and force the US to focus on the Pacific first with Japan. How you go about that is up to you, but it is a race against time for the axis, if Germany can take Russia before the US can land in Europe then the axis should be well on their way to a win.

RE: The Ultimate Axis and Allies Global 1940 Video of ALL TIME
That was a cool video, I think more people should try and shoot their games for everyone on the site to see. It would make people that are newcomers see good strategies from the vets and allow vets to critique rookie mistakes.

RE: Japan/USSR Non-Aggression Pact
I encourage that you read “Rise and fall of the third reich.” That details Hitler’s attempts to get Japan to attack Russia to pressure them from both sides in order to make it easier for Germany to overtake Russia. The main problem was the Americans were on the move in the pacific and the Brits and Aussies were being a pain in the butt and the last thing Japan wanted was another front to fight on. Granted the strategy was not done but that doesn’t mean that it wasn’t thought about. I personally think if Japan could have somehow made a move into Russia, Stalin would have had to leave his Siberian troops in the East instead of bringing them to the West to push back the Germans. It might have made things a lot more interesting if the war had played out like that, which is what many of us do in the game.

RE: How should Japan try to save Europe?
That sounds like a monster game.

RE: Request from Bob_A_Mickelson
HAHA big whoop for you. At least YOU get to display a .gif avatar, the rest of us only get crappy .jpgs now. Not even fair, we couldn’t display something like this even if we wanted to. More like gloating that you can display it while we peons can’t.
Don’t listen to this guy Bob, he’s just butthurt that they outlawed tortilla throwing in Lubbock.

RE: First Game: Axis Domination
I have not played a game of Global yet but just from looking at the logistics it seems rather impossible to crush China and Russia’s East armies in one turn with the little man power that Japan starts with. 18 infantry are no pushover, that is 4-8 kills every round of combat.

RE: "Finished" my first game of Global 40
Yeah, most people feel (and it has been proven) that if you do a J1 attack and focus in India that you can win the game like 90% of the time. The only thing that can save the allies are lucky dice or several Japanese blunders. Because of this people were wanting to tone down Japan’s power to start the game so people wouldn’t always do a J1 attack. That way the game would be more varied and not so straight-forward.

RE: First Game: Axis Domination
Sounds like this guy has a hella-lot more land units with Japan than most people do. How can you knock out the 18 infantry AND surge into China at the same time, on the same turn?!?!

RE: "Finished" my first game of Global 40
He is probably talking about the proposed rules changes that Larry is having people test out to see if they can balance P40.

RE: Balanced???
If you read the games being played so far it seems that the Global game is pretty balanced. I have seem an almost 50/50 mix of either Allied or Axis wins, so that has to count for something. But like other posters have said, give this game some time (6 months) and then we will see how this game is at that point in time.

RE: "Finished" my first game of Global 40
I could be a viable strategy. I know in the old AA Europe game when the US player gets hamstrung in the Atlantic by German subs they will buy bombers to have an economic impact on the Germans. Or at least force the Germans to keep back their fighters from the Russian front with the constant threat of a SBR.

RE: Calvin found a loophole in Sealion that invalidates the UK naval block!
I agree, if we want to use acronyms then let’s have a vote on it.

RE: Calvin found a loophole in Sealion that invalidates the UK naval block!
STOP with the 2 letter acronyms please.
there are NOT 2 B’s in Battleship. and no V in CARRIER.
and WTF does AP have to do with TRANSPORTS? Or does AP stand for Airplane? which would then require a designation for fgt, bmb, or tac.
Use 3 letters to standardize everything with letters and terms that actually make sense. It’s really not that hard.
1 ACC 1 BAT 1 DST 3 TRN much easer to figure out than 1CV 1BB 1 DD 2 AP
Don’t make Axis and Allies a foriegn language for no reason. 3 letter acronyms are used in battlemap for territories for obvious reasons as well.
I could not agree more! Every time they give them other names!
Or people could take the extra 3 seconds to write the word out fully, it really isn’t that hard.

Win.
