I noticed that Japan has at least 1 AC, 1 BB, 1CC and 1 navy plane less on your map than what’s on the latest set up chart. Was this intentional? Did you find Japan’s navy starting too strong even though they only start with 14 IPCs?

That appears to make sense from the few pieces I’ve ordered to compare size and quality.
What is the difference between 1/2400 and 1/3000 in inches? Looks like the 1/2400 is an USA scale (based in ft/in). Is the 1/3000 the European scale based in meters?
Side by side, would a 1/2400 piece actually be 20% smaller than a 1/3000 scale piece?
When Paris falls:
Vichy France consisting of (Vichy France, Algeria, Madagascar, Indo-China, and Levant States): 4 Infantry and 1 Artillery (Neutral but placed by the axis player in any manner he chooses)
Vichy is a new neutral with a diplomatic value of -1. Note: the British do not control the naval units. These can only be activated if the axis attacks Free- French territories or Vichy territories under allied control.
1. Do Vichy France, Algeria, Madagascar, Indo-China, and Levant States each become separate and independent countries, or are they all considered one nation? For example, if UK attacked Moracco or algeria to secure a shorter path to Egypt, would the other territories convert to -5 Axis or remain independent.
You have 2 destroyers and 2 Cruisers attacking two subs. Each of the dd and ca roll for detection. If 1 of 4 ships detect, is that the only ship to fire on the sub during the first round?
Are the rules the same for attacking and defending subs?
My bad… I forgot the 4x rule. That clears up a lot.
IL, I have no arguement against that now.
My point is that the current set up map is not the same as the 1939 AARHE set up charts in the rules. If the current map is currect then the set up charts in the rules need to be updated. I just wanted to know which is the right one to follow.
Let me look at my file.
oh heck ill just repost a new link from the last version. with set up:
There are major differences between the 1939 map set up and the 1939 rules set up - particularly with Germany (France now has less units and Germany more) No wonder Germany was struggling the first few rounds against France and Poland/Russia.
Can I assume the map is correct and the set ups should be changed to feflect this? Was this changed due to play testing?
Nada. They said it could take several weeks. Apparently they don’t have them in stock and their coming from across the pond. My C-in-C tanks got here less than a week.
1. Is there a limit as to the number of infantry that can be built at VCs?
2. If China is incapable of replacing American aircraft or building armor, why are they given a factory in the game? In reality, China had only the capability to build infantry - which was poorly trained and equipt. The presence of a factory in the game allows for China to build any type of unit.
As infantry are built at victory cities, I propose removing the factory from China.
I have similar feeling with the factory at India. Are we giving these countries capacity beyond their capabilities? OOr are we doing it for playability, which is a different focus?

Sign up here. Its free and easy. This is where most of the users set up their downloads for these posts.
IL; I knew you reminded me of someone! :-D Or maybe its secretly you :lol:
Anyway, here’s my daily dose of Karma for the ‘good stuff’ you’ve givin’ us, and me. I’ll let others with the “wish my **** was as big as his” symdrome do the complaining.

With the large amount of posts already flying about AA50, and its still two months out, what impact will that have on the AARHE updates we are working on? BW still has many Qs that still need to be answered on his posts regarding individual country’s NAs.
Should we hold off until the AA50 dust settles or are we still on track? If we are still on track, I realize there are a large number of Qs on those posts. Maybe you could answer just a few each day :-D
Will AA50 influence any changes to AARHE? Or is it too early to tell.
see the post. I already gave you another! (But I got to wait 8 hours. Well about 6 now :-). Actuually, I should put you on an automatic +1 daily suppliment for all the good stuff I’ve gotten.)
Not a bad idea :-D
IL:
This is awsome and more updated than the one I was working with. Love the lakes you added. Without making the map too gaudy, how would some custom mountains look? You could then take out the ‘mountains’ text.
Another +1 for your efforts
Here’s a +1 Karma for always ‘telling it like it is…whether people want to here it or not’
DH:
What program did you use to make the map? The ONLY changes I would want to make to the map is change the colors of some of the territories to convert it to a 1939 version.
I also thought of doing a couple of blow-up territories along the top edge for off map play of some of the more crowded countries.)
Pls let me know how to ungroup or edit the map or what program to use! I’ve tried a couple ( adobe cs2 and an ms program. Neither would open to allow editing other than over lay objects on top.)
Monroe:
:-D I used the same background for my set ups. I am using AARHE rules and set ups with this map, which I converted to 1939. Still play testing. Because of significant changes in IPCs between the two game boards and game set ups, I’ve had to change a lot of IPCs on the map. Still working on China. Had to text in “Neutrals” because I could not change color without making it look like a three year old’s coloring book.
If you want to take a look here is my link. Any comments welcomed.
I’ve added the set ups as well, although the back ground is still work in progress. I think I’m going to basically do what you did.
What are you doing for neutral set ups?

another + for your efforts
Monroe:
Gave you a karma anyway for the great response. Actually tried to give you 2 but it would not let me. :-)
Not sure if you are aware, but you can post larger files at: http://www.mediafire.com/about.php
Good stuff. Have you done any additions to the map? I want to change a few territory colors to create a 1939 map but can’t find a program to do it? Any ideas?
Monroe:
I would like to see a copy of your set up charts.
We are using AARHE rules and set ups with this map - with the map converted to a 1939 layout. So, far, the combination kicks a**.
