WOTC Press Statement:

Some of our Factory employees in China have become ill with SARS, as a result, the release date for Axis and Allies Europe 1940 will be postponed until December 24th 2012, we do appologize for this inconvenience. We are working very hard to solve the problem, our top WOTC priests are excorsizing the fatal illness from the pieces using some of the spells found in our Magic card series. However do to the high cost of employing priests, the game will now be priced at $1,050 Euros + S&H. If you cannot pay the amount in full, we do have newly vacant job opportunities at some of our overseas warehouses, where you can work off the rest. Again we do appologize for this ‘fiasco’, as our gratitude for being such loyal customers, we will be mailing you a poster of Larry Harris and the playtester team playing a thrilling game of A&A Global.

Thank you for your patience,
-WOTC Team.

I disagree. With so few numbers, a lot of powers would be on top of each other, which is always annoying to me when changing income and such.

Which is why I suggest using 3 charts.  Though I suppose the minor powers chart would have all 4 of them having 1 roundel on the 10 space.   However, you still have powers overlapping with a typical chart anyway.  You could always group the powers differently so as to avoid extra overlap.  Such as Axis (Germany, Italy, Japan), Allies 1 (UKE, UKP, USA, France), and Allies 2 (USSR, China, ANZAC).  That way you would only have at most 2 minor powers that would have the likely possibility of overlapping, plus each chart has a power that is likely to go below 10 relatively quickly (France and China) decreasing the amount of overlap further.

Perhaps this makes it overly complicated, but it’s what I came up with for making the chart go to 100 without increasing the size.

Alternately it could be 4 rows with 5 columns each, 3 charts.  Then it would be the same width as previously, but you gain a row for NOs.

Axis                          Allies 1                        Allies 2
0  4  8    30  70        0  4  8    30  70        0  4  8    30  70
1  5  9    40  80        1  5  9    40  80        1  5  9    40  80
2  6  10  50  90        2  6  10  50  90        2  6  10  50  90
3  7  20  60  100      3  7  20  60  100      3  7  20  60  100

Interesting idea. but I think the group consensus is to stay with the current style. So no radical changes today. Great idea though.

@Emperor_Taiki:

Long Range aircraft only increases range by 1. And with heavy bombers you pick the better of two dice. Its seems much more balanced now.

My home version has been updated.
Do you know the the Increased factory production rules? My current version is just a guess.
Is Jet fighters correct?

What if instead of the charts, you have National Control markers with a number in the 10’s layered on top of the marker that could be added to the current production space.

Example: the US exceeds 75IPCs on the National Production Chart; it gained 10 IPCs in conquered territory.

US National Control Marker with a ‘(10)’, is placed over the 75 IPC limit giving it a sum of 85 IPCs

You kittens are soo cute  :lol:

@oztea:

Why, in the name of all that is holy, are you bringing the carrier into the attack.

If you take hits….put them on the destroyer and cruiser so you have no surface commitment to that SZ.

Noncombat move your carrier to the french fleets position and reload it with fighters if neccisary.

nt

Did you not UNDERSTAND the question?? I wasn’t too sure how repairs worked for friendly ships. If the non-combat repair that i thought was correct, would’ve meant no casualties for the UK and 1 casualty for Italy.
With SZ 93 @
1CV, 1tac, 1DD, 2CA, 1ftr and possibly 2tt.
It doesn’t matter anyway Krieghund clarified it, thanks Krieg!

Lets suppose UK attacks SZ95 on UK1:

1CV@0, 1tacb@4, 1DD@2 (91) + 1CA@3 (98) + ftr@3 (Alexandria)= 12pts >> 2hits

vs

1BB, 1CA (95) = 7pts >> 1hit R1

Italian BB takes a hit and loses the CA, meanwhile the UK CV takes 1 hit and the Italian roll @1 misses, scoring a total of 1 hit on the UK player.

Now here’s the question, should the UK player retreat to SZ93, does the Naval Base in Southern France repair the UK CV? and if so can the ftr+tac land on it by the non combat movement.

@Mysterious:

Are Cruisers able to bombard without the presence of a Battleship?

Yes

thanks, the Rule book makes it confusing; it implies you have to use the buddy system with its ridiculous examples.

From my understanding when a Power loses its Capitol, E.G. India, it can no longer collect income; so liberating a territory would automatically give the liberator the income, if the Capitol is liberated it may resume collecting income from its territory.
and yes ANZAC would be 3 IPCs wealthier

Are Cruisers able to bombard without the presence of a Battleship?
