I thought US could take Brazil right away? Am I misreading the rules on Neutral Nations?
US has to wait until it is in the war.

My house rule says yes. If you can fly over the Pacific and Atlantic, then why not the Sahara.
With losing 2 extra movement spaces flying over?
Waw, good job on digging all the way through this topic!
Interesting idea. But i wonder what the effect of the (i admit, temporary) absence of all those japanese planes in Asia will be
It is in fact not reasonable at all.
Sahara’s huge, hot and sandy. It’s insane to fly over it, just accept that.
… or go and try it out :-D
@special:
I have gmail and yahoo mail. I conclude that I can’t attach entire folders, only individual items
If you zip the folder it’s no problem to email it
(but true, one cannot mail folders as is)
How do I do that?
It’s quite simple even, you rightclick on the folder you want zipped, and there you chose “add to archive” (or another one of the options if you prefer so)
Will look abit like this:
… if you don’t have Winrar or a similar program, thén it will be hard.

i think yes :)
Or at least partly.
But the printing clearly has been done seperate
No, not really, Germany can Sealion G3 or G4. I’ve played 4 games where UK ignored the Taranto raid- it gave Italy and the Axis a fighting chance. The raid cripples Italy in time for the US to regain Africa, Italy won’t get past Egypt.
Not doing the raid- you can kiss most of Africa goodbye and Italy actually becomes a force making 25-30 a turn or more.
Simply put, if you don’t do it, Allies will pay.
Some ideas:
1.) WILD BILL’s AB rule change on scrambling: 6max for islands, 2 or 3 max on coastals
2.) Bob’s idea- add 2 subs to the Taranto seazone
3.) Combine the Italian fleets in one seazone
Others??? Which do you like best??? I like one of the first 2 mentioned the best.
Indeed, when i didn’t raid, italy got too strong for a long time…
As for these 3 ideas: can UK join all its ships in 1 zone too then? ;)
edit: fixed some wrong quoting
Taranto Raid- standard???
in all but one of my games germany has built a carrier to support its battleship and cruiser. with the exception of the one game UK has done the Taranto Raid.
so in my games taranto raid is standard.
the one game exception my opponent was germany and did not buy a carrier. uk used the fleet to hit the german navy instead of the taranto raid. in hindsight i still might have been better off with taranto raid instead of sinking germany’s navy.
Dunno, i had that chance to wipe out the german navy too, and i didn’t regret it.
But the Taranto raid, i’m not sure, delaying italy and keeping african IPC’s for UK is good… unless you lose UK, of course. So that should stay top priority.
I wonder, does not sending the TB to UK (and using it for taranto) make a big difference in the end?
Mmm, my first thought is that with countries such as Scotland 3, Ukraine 3, West Ukraine 3, Turkey 3, etc… could have big consequences, because major IC’s can be built there, influencing (dare i say imbalancing) the game a lot.
you can have A&A printed curtains!
Yes, some jealousy here.
Well, about destroyers, they are the ones with the flat bum.
i am very pro-nr.4, which should have been the general rule, i think
Well, i haven’t seen much bombing raids happen in P40 /E40 / G40 in my group (maybe because we’ve thrown too many 1’s in the past and now there is too much fear :-D Escort rules making it even harder, bombers costing enough money), so they are more useful in other situations.
If then you get radar, you’re baxically safe! (on the other hand, i haven’t seen much tech either in the latest games).
Not that i mind, i’ve always considered tech a way for my opponents to spend money.
And for the rest i agree with all you said there.
I tried. I lost :-D
Well, not exactly, but i couldn’t get to finish a game. It’s hard to not know and not ignore enemy intentions. Also hard to switch mindsets all the time.
But it is good to debunk (or at least test) your own ideas and strats.
And like JamesAleman also says: my surprise attacks seem to fail, must be spies!
Fair enough. But a map (and its specific layout) would fall under "graphics’, no?
Edit: by the way, i’m not trying to spoil the fun or anything, just avoiding possible trouble. And when money comes into it, authors will tend be less lenient (which i can understand).
Also the rules will probably change from country to country (and i’m not american, so i don’t know the specific situation there)
