    • Moffett Field R&D Tech Chart Draft

      Moffett_R&D_v3_Ext.pdf

      Here is a draft for a potential R&D Tech Chart for G40. The IPC/Costs and a few other things need some fixing updating. Will likely adopt some Bloodbath rules for rolling. Open to ideas/suggestions. This has not really been play tested, just a concept at this point.

      Possible adjustment:
      Turn 1: Build a research center for XX IPC (likely around 10 IPC)
      Turn 2: Research a technology, like Ballistics and Amor or Advanced Propulsion (around 4 or 5 IPC)
      Turn 3: Research technology if applicable or move to next stage of Deployment and roll 1 D6 and pay that amount
      Turn 4: Deploy technology - Roll 1 D6 and pay that amount

      It is possible to research more than one technology in parallel but it will cost.

      Some technology allows upgrading units on the board for a cost (like Adv. Mech Inf.). Other techs apply to future units to be deployed.

      Let me know your thoughts/input.

    • Soviet Mountain Troops 1/72 - Ultima Ratio

      Just picked these up. I think they are a new release. The box is huge compared to the pieces…lol.

      There is a lot of flash to clean up but they should look good when painted.!MTN3.jpg MTN2.jpg MTN1.jpg MTN Box.jpg

    • RE: Index

      @mrgoatcheese Thank you!..I though I was the only one that thought it is crazy not to have a proper Index. I have created one and will be posting when I get all the entries I want/need. It drives me nuts when rule books do not have indices.

    • RE: Moffett Field R&D Tech Chart Draft

      Yes, making it more certain. Still want some chance involved so might follow the BBRs in terms of 1D6 on Phase III = get instant tech and next turn/phase buy dice if didn’t happen.

      Since the game only has 6-sided dice the % of chance is pretty limited. Adding the possibility of two hits, the second hit less likely, makes the tech worth doing. If used 8, 10 or 12 sided could adjust the %.

      V1/V2 Rockets were more a terror weapon vs being able to target specific battles so I think hitting their bank of IPCs makes more sense, thus the “aerial convoy raid” concept. More like a cheap, one-time use submarine convoy raid.

      Trying to make it more like Sid Meir’s Civilization Tech Tree and have multiple techs per game. Also want the ability of the enemy to disrupt your tech by bombing a research facility.

      Anyway, this is not play tested that much, just one or two games. Needs some further refinement.

      Welcome any more comments/suggestions/etc.

      @Field-marshall
      I feel like they lost a bit of detail once painted. They turned out ok. Did some a paratroopers.

    • RE: Do strat bombers get a roll before the AA ?

      @turndown4rip Wow…this needs an example in the rule book. So easy to overlook and go with instinct from A&A.

    • RE: Global War game #2

      We have found, beginning of the game bid for 1st for initiative, end game bid last to react to enemy moves and/or avoid mis-steps.

    • RE: Are Heavy Carriers not very good?

      @insanehoshi Many of the techs appear to be too little too late. We generally focus on Economic, Fighter, Bomber and Artillery. Subs too late for Germany, ships in general too late to the game. Fighters are probably best bang for buck, IMHO.

    • Forts/Bases - Declare location when beginning construction?

      Does one have to declare where the fort will be placed at the beginning of construction? Same question for bases.

    • RE: Militia Purchases?

      @captainnapalm Okay, so bypasses the factory requirement to build regular infantry. One could also just build 1 Colonial if in build chart for same as Militia + Upgrade

    • RE: Militia Purchases?

      @captainnapalm Why not just purchase regular infantry outright and bypass the upgrade process?

    • Militia Purchases?

      Does anyone purchase or see much purchasing of Militia? Trying to scale how many I need to paint. Just paint what goes on the board at set-up or more for additional purchasing.

    • MAP - Can all types of aircraft fly MAP?

      Can all types of aircraft fly MAP, even strategic bombers? If yes, then Strategic Bombers could spot but not attack.

      @hbg-gw-enthusiast 3rd. Should specify which sea zones to teleport to, if that was the case.
