RE: Global 2nd edition Q+A ( AAG40.2)
Hi guys,
Im going to play global again with the new set of rules in over more then 2 years.
I can only find separate rules and setups for both games but not for the global game.
I understand russia gets 6 infantries in 3 territories in the east and 2 AA`s in one, UK -1 in egypt and anzac +2 in egypt and Russia loses its 2 infantry bonus.
Is there anything else im missing about the setup?
I also have a question… Whats the increase in IPC
s the USA gets once it gets into war and I remember having some one-time payment of IPC
s on certain occasions…The last rules ive played where the alpha 3,9 rules (I think?) and I wonder if there`s a recent chart of National Objectives.
Thanks a lot guys!

RE: Latest Global '39 pics
haha who won the battle for honolulu? :D how does communist China perform in your games usually?

RE: Turn six pics
hehe seems cool, we’re still at turn 3 right now… Might want to take pics as well and put them on :) I really like this game, especially the pacific side of the map.
I was just wondering why you didn’t take territories like belgian congo yet? There’s no army there and you can just grab it. Or did you add a houserule not to attack the neutrals?

RE: Should you liberate France?
don’t liberate it if the axis can recapture it as it will give them an IPC boost time after time.

RE: Regular A&A players getting into Global War
Doesn’t it state in the rules that it can take maximum 15 rounds? If the axis don’t have their objectives by then, the Allies win?
I have this game at home but I’ven ever played it… I set up the board already and I’m using the D6 variant setup without all the extra special units etc. I think this way it eases up game play a lot. (only the fortifications are there but I use cardboard aa guns etc and turn them upside down).
I think your concerns are correct. I don’t think it was ever the intention of the creator to make this map less complex then G40. I really hope I can get to play this game soon lol…

RE: G39 OLD MAP vs NEW MAP
i thought there was no difference except that europe has been made bigger and africa smaller. Other then that the borders and territorries and sea zones are the same. No?

RE: Will they come out with an A&A Pearl Harbor
give the guy a break… Why wouldn’t it be possible to make a pearl harbor game? The point of all these games is to change history, right? You can add many different scenario’s…

RE: How long does it take to play europe?
depends who you play with… I have friends who like to make it a chess play and then offcourse you’re in it for the long run… If you put some effort you can do it in 3-4 hours.
But we usually play until we notice 1 side is going to win. We’re not playing until the Allies have captured both Berlin and Rome.

RE: 1939 Map - Jeremy's Variant with Set-up Charts
I got my map yesterday and decided to put it up today and place all the pieces with these set up. It will be still a while before I get to play it with my friends but these are my first thoughts…
-
Naval and Air bases have been dropped, I noticed. Any particular reason? Well maybe it’s good to not have these complicated scramble rules :D
-
South America will be totally controlled by Brazil/USA I assume? And Mexico by the US. Unless I understand the true neutrals rule not well enough… And I’m also pretty sure the Axis forces can’t make it to Argentina in time, or am I wrong? And if they did, the US would put a stop to them soon.
-
Japan needs to invest in ground forces BIG TIME.
-
France might play a bigger role in this game.
I can’t really wait to start the game… :D

RE: The Indestructible Neutral Colored Units: Why??
I’ve been thinking of playing a game where you can only build IC’s on original owned territories. Whenever you capture a territory (wich doesn’t originaly belong to you) with an IC on it, that IC is destroyed. This way the German advance into Russia might be a little bit more difficult and would give it more of a historical feel to it (as supply lines back then were a major issue too).
I have yet to try it out tho.

RE: French transport in z105.
I like the idea altho I’d put it in SZ109 with the UK DD and TT. This way it would survive the first round (normally) and Germany would have to make the choice of taking normandy and Paris or leave the forces on Normandy to be evacuated. I’d even go as far as adding a second french transport to either SZ91 or SZ93 to get the French forces in South France evacuated or to bring over french forces from London to North Africa where they could be used (while the axis still have the option of whiping these transports or troops out before the French could use them). This would even make France a bit more useful.

RE: Thailand as a player? Official HBG color for them?
see the minors more as a ‘fun factor’ addition. Give them their basic IPC’s + another amount that the big player, for example Germany that can give to Romania, gives. Every territory conquered will just go to the German IPC count but as the Germans can give them away to the Romanians, it wouldn’t really make a difference. At least that’s how we play it (offcourse we limit the amount of units that can be bought each turn for the minors and we also limit the amount of IPC’s germany can transfer to the minors, it’s silly having Romania take over Russia by itself).

RE: Anyone Try World Domination yet?
If anyone has a starting setup for an axis world domination (so after most of the allies are defeated), please post it here :D I’d like to see german ships in the pacific and Japanese forces taking over london!

RE: Setup for AAE40?
I use the following setup
latest alpha 3.9
USA peacetime economy: 35 IPC
USA wartime economy: + 30 IPCUSA gets no more NO’s.
Russia gets 37 IPC’s (we count in the total value of global) but lose the 2 infrantry per turn in novosibirsk
replace the 2 anzac infrantry with 2 french infrantries
All the rest is the same as alpha 3.9 including NO’s etc.
it’s fairly balanced this way.

RE: Mongolia
Yes they can, the moment a russian territorry is attacked bordering mongolia (unless Russia attacked a japanese controlled territorry bordering mongolia), all the mongolian territorries are converted to russian territorries instantly and the infrantries are placed. After that they are threated as soviet troops as any other soviet troops that are on the board

RE: Wheatbeer (axis) vs rhey (allies + 8)
I don’t think the Allies can stop me in Europe. Germany will also take Stalingrad via mechs (though the Soviets could possibly reclaim it for a round).
yeah I’m done for in Europe. I lost this game. All pointers are welcome offcourse :D but I never get Russia right… This is about the first time I cud have kept the japanese a little bit away from Russia but even it is still hard… And I’m never quick enough with the western allies to intervene…
