As far as I am correct: Yes, you are correct. 1 NB can service multiple SZ’s, when all of those SZ’s are adjacent to the territory containing a NB.

IF there is…… i think we better say WHEN!

I don’t think I’ll apply any change to pacific in the Global Game. And I bet I won’t be playing stand alone pacific '40 after euro 40 release, due to global playing.

But I’m sure I’ll like more the stand alone pacific 40 instead of the europe 40! So I guess I’ll apply the new adjustement only in the stand alone pacific.

i know!

Obviously you would sink atleast one of the battleships, maybe even two.  My point is if UK buys inf heavy you would avoid sea lion, if they build boats and/or big time in africa, send in the sea lion.

I mean really, if UK buys 9 men on turn 1, why even bother facing them as there no threat, its time to eat some russia!

I think I personally will purchase 1 trans, 1 DD, or two trans and 5 inf on turn 1, hiding atleast the trans in the baltic maybe even the rest of the boats while sinking all the UK boats I can without huge risk, probably leaving 1 BB, 1 Cru in the atlantic.  Then on turn 2 if the UK builds say, a minor IC, or 3 tanks out of south africa, move up the fleet drop more boats and dance in London on turn 3.  Keep in mind too, you don’t need all transports as your airforce is larger than the UKs, not only that but 13 IPCs gets you two inf and a trannie, 10 gets you a fighter.  Yes the inf are better but the fighter is more versatile after you take London.

What I’m saying is, going hardcore sea lion isnt that great of an idea, but the threat of it forces the UK to react and gives you an advantage.

I am not a big fan of J1 attack - I think alot of that money starts heading towards Germany/Italy…and if I am an axis player I want Germany/Italy to not see a green pc of plastic rolling dice against me until US4-5 at the earliest…not US2!!!

@oztea:

Krieg corrected the US one about Normandy/Bordeux

It is supposed to be if the US has it.

Thanks - that’s the kind of thing I was asking for.

@13thguardsriflediv:

In Global, if Japan invades FIC, is it at war with France?

It must declare war on France before doing so.

@The:

really. I have always played where you can just take it from them.

Yes, really.

Ok, here it is. In AAREVISED. When they introduced artillery, Germany had a good reason to buy a good mixture of men, artillery, and tanks. If not, if they bought all tanks, unless they were playing against a Russian player who was worse than me, they lost. And planes were never purchsed unless in some extreme circumstance or again, playing off of other players lack of stragety. Tanks buy all others (except Japan) were rare and bad purchases. The odds largely favored men and artillery.

The points I have read about regarding Japan and tanks in the Revised version and before was not a problems of Tanks being to cheap, but by a horrific China and East Russia map that was obviously horrific. Unbelievable it took this long to correct.

I have played AAP40 a lot and see planes as a lot more usable the way they should be. To win a war you have to have great air power. If you are not buying as many tanks as planes. Something is wrong. I may be exaggerating a bit, but not  by  much.

Secure Amur for a bombing base on Japan :mrgreen:

Attacking strict neutrals would be very risky for either side. I could see the axis doing it, before the allies. The axis would have to coordinate their efforts to take out all the big boys before the allies could swoop in to gain the free units. I think you would have to start w/Italy invading Turkey, plus what else it could reach in Mid east or South Africa. Then Germany could invade Spain and Sweden before the allies could get there (US would have to be out of position, or not yet at war). If you started the invasions w/Germany, Russia & UK would swoop in before Italy to claim their free inf. Of course I think Germany could attack all 3 major strict neutrals in the same turn as well, because I think Germany can invade Turkey from Greece (land/bridge). Your still giving the allies the Mongolian and Afghan forces, unless Jap has them beat back at the time, plus the S Americans.

In any event, say the axis are successful in their attacks killing the inf, and gaining most of the tt. Say there wasn’t much left for the allies to claim. I would still think in the long run it might come back to bite them in the A$$. They will have lost some units in the battles, and will be spread pretty thin. They now have more tt to def from counter attack, or major allied invasion. Spain would give the allies another shore to perform a major amphib, and Turkey would allow Russia/UK to tag team Germany through that same land/bridge w/o messing with Russia’s NO. I can see some short term advantages though, like Italian amphib into the Black Sea, or extra $ for a round or two, but would the advantages out way the risk?

AAlife -

I tend to use a lot of the Infantry / Armor / Planes.

Never used a significant amount of ships.

@Seven_Patch:

I’ll wait for the real thing.

Sometime a little rasterbation with some imagination is better than the real thing. :evil:

I’d rather have the real thing, but would “rasterbate” if i had too. :roll:

Look over the stickied thread - they’re pretty much in there, but I haven’t heard anyone who’s 100% sure of every single NO down to the last detail.

@Seven_Patch:

No, it would seem according to the rules that UK India can never recieve the IPC’s from West India if UK london is captured.

It’s kind of funny that they can never control there own country.

@calvinhobbesliker:

@miamibeach:

Uk Europe is more like 26.  Italy will be about 22 at most.  Japan at 32.  Uk Pacific 24.

UK Europe is 26? They have 34 with NO so there are 4 subs doing convoy raids?

It depends on how many SUBs remain.  When I was Germany I only had 1 SUB left, SgtBlitz had 3 SUBs left.  Including the NO The range should be from 34 at most, to 28 at least depending on German strategy.

Thank you.

Plus Germany has a little extra incentive to make sure they keep it with the new NO.  Taking Norway and building an IC there won’t be the sure thing it’s always been up to now, but yes, if the US can pull it off it would be a major shift in power.

I have posted a new R1. Lets play the game!

All that is needed to destroy the RN is the Luftwaffe for one turn when they do not have that much else to do. The Germans losses are limited to a few subs and a plane or two. It is a bit extreme but i understand why it might be needed for balance.

Krieg is such a life saver, thanks for being here for us to pick your brain.
