How can you possibly reinforce Paris?

But probably London

I wouldn’t mind trying the OOB setup with the Alpha 2 rule set.  It might work.  The adjustments on the board would be countered by the increased units Japan starts with.

you do realize that the allies start out with alot more aswell (mainly in the pacific and US)

'Cept for China.

Japan starts with less in china aswell

And Japan has like twice as many aircraft.

Only like 4 more

I’m calling Allies

17.  19 in global - 2 FIC

Do you think the new stat adjustements of carriers(+2IPCs, 2 hits, 0 offence) make it a better or worse unit?

I would probably say worse, because you gain 2 IPC’s, lose 1 offence, and only get the ability to take another hit(although planes can’t land on it to defend against a counterattack!)

Wanna write some for the Allies now?

@Gargantua:

LOL I love how people go on and whine about how cruisers aren’t the most effective buy.

What about some countries, like RUSSIA, who never get to buy navy in any serious fashion?

Or the Chinese, who are limited to men / arty, and lastly the French, who NEVER get to even do a buy!?

There is a time and place for everything.  Infact, when’s the last time someone bought a battleship?  I’m guessing almost never.Germany/Italy certainly can’t, UK I doubt it…  Japan maybe… USA most likely.  Everyone else can forget it.

And why would I EVER build a destroyer? if my opponent is never building subs?  It can’t be used to bombard - and it’s less effective on defense… in come the cruiser.

lol my usa bought like 47 battleships(not really, more like 3)

@Zallomallo:

Meh, I guess I’ll House Rule em to 11.

yeah, in my house we turn them up to 11 too, cause 11 is louder than 10.

I don get it

@Jay:

The UK India sent one trany . [sic]

lol

Yessir.

In Alpha .2, you can only have majors on your original territories though.

Meh, I guess I’ll House Rule em to 11.

@docfav7:

We play a variant of the Anniversary Edition rules…

1 - You buy a token.  If you don’t hit, you can role it until you do.
2 - When you do hit, You pick which chart you want to use.
3 - If you do NOT like what was rolled, you may pass until the next turn and role the choice again.  However, you HAVE to take it this time.

Better chances of getting something useful.

You could also do it where if you don’t like what you hit, you can keep your tokens and soldier on.

Can’t have every detail of the war, or it would take 6-10 years to play.

Shouldn’t Japan only be making 9 IPCs?  If so I predict an Allied victory, but dunno.

Uhh, you can get better stuff?  R&D is too finicky imo.  Make it Low Luck or tokens.

Don’t think so, but I don’t know for certain.  I think combat moves have to be actual combat.

Dont think so, no.

@MightyPol:

Turkey, Sweden and Switzerland don’t become pro-Axis if you attack Spain or Portugal. They become pro-Axis if you attack one of the three, only.

I think you misread the rulebook, those are examples, not all of the strict neutrals.
