Will the Atlantic and Pacific in AA40 Global be balanced
-
yes to #3
The ONLY way to keep it balanced is to keep all Europe and Pacific income separate.
This means that the Western USA and Eastern USA’s moneys will not mix at all, which in my opinion is good. (and also that UK’s Europe board income, and Pacific board income will also not mix at all.)
-
And I too would like the us to be have 2 incomes one for the Pacific and one for the Atlantic theatres.
-
The UK by rule may have to spend $ in the pacific through the Anzac. The US really doesn’t have a minor ally that it will control like the UK. The only thing I can think of is to connect its NO’s to that theater. Like if there is an island NO for the pacific (similar to AA50) then that $ is earmarked for the pacific theater. Also with the new convoy zones (not knowing any details) I think the US may have to dedicate some resources to both theaters to keep its money flowing, and interrupt its enemies convoys.
PS:If #3 is adopted it would be cool if the Anzac could skip its turn w/UK and joint strike with the US later in that round giving the game more of a cooperative feel.
I can see not allowing the US & UK to attack together (to powerful) but allowing the Anzac to attack with the UK or US would give the game something its been missing joint attacks with allies. You could even go on to extend it to China/allies. You could offset it by allowing limited strikes with Germ/Italy. Boy this could lead to a lot of new house rules. -
I don’t think US will need to “mix” income. We know Western US is 10 and 50. We can postulate the Eastern US will be 12 and 60. That’s 110, + Central US (6) + Alasks (2) + Hawaii (1) + Mexico (2) + Brazil (3) + Cuba (1) + Phillipiness [typo?] (2) + Pannama (1) = 128 IPCs!!! Forget KGF or KJF, it’s Kill Everyone First!!!

Phillipiness [typo?]
Philippines. Yeah always thought that spelling was weird. Half way between Phillip and Felipe.
128 IPCs!!! Forget KGF or KJF, it’s Kill Everyone First!!!
Lol. Yeah no kidding.

Welcome Flintlock. You can be the new spellchecker.

@Brain:
One player could control both ANZAC and UK and achieve what you are thinking by keeping their money separated thus forcing that player to invest some money in the Pacific theatre.
I agree!

If the setup is like the 41 version of AA50 then yes I think it will be balanced.
Something that I noticed about that version- after playing both versions several times- was that unlike the 42 version of AA50, the 41 left a more “open” game and more possiblities. Both sides still have there advantages, but in the 41 it is more extreme- the Allies start with more cash and land but much less units, the Axis start with less cash but a LOT more attacking units in the beginning.
Since the global game will start in 1940, I expect that the setup will be somewhat similar to the 41 in AA50 where the game is more “open”. The 42 is a more restrictive, predictable and a more “closed” game because the variables are few and the constants are set in stone more in regards to position, income and units attained.

I agree AA50 41 is more of a free for all. Especially with Japan having so much power early on.A huge air force and lots of tranniies.
-
I think that Larry’s goal has been to create all of his games balanced.
-
Agreed, at first we might not see it but after lots of playing we know that all the games he has created are balanced but do take some thinking to get to that point.
-
If it is not balanced, then there is always bidding.
-
guys His last three havve been pretty good, why would his next two be bad? I think this has the potential to be his best yet! Although a 1939 edition is probably larrys next target!
-
I would like a 1914 version as well.
-
eww world war one? thres no tanks, subs, OR bombers in WWI just chemical warfare…
-
There were tanks at the end of the war.
Subs have been around since the American Civil War.
And bombs were dropped from planes and zeppelins in WWI -
those are all uniqe exceptions and not the rule. look I like the idea. I just dont think it would make for fun gameplay
-
Try the Great War from Triple A and then say that.
-
WWI would be fun but WWII was truly a global war, WWI was mostly fought in Europe while WWII was all over the world.
-
Just give me a mapboard and plastic military pieces and I am happy.
