I don’t have AAP 1940 SE, but I’ve been looking at the pdf of the SE edition to see what changed from the first. Looking at the AAP SE changes vs. Global SE I notice the UK Pacific starting income is 16 rather than 17 for Global. This is due to the transfer of West India’s income to the Pacific and the North American UK territories are part of the European UK. (You probably already have this correctly entered for your map, but it is worth noting for those who are trying to reconstruct AAP 1940 SE using a first edition box and the Europe Global SE rules/box.)
Will the Atlantic and Pacific in AA40 Global be balanced
-
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.
-
I could send you cardboard and pebbles of different colors and sizes, would that work?
-
I dont think so. :-D
-
ROFL :-o
-
Maybe I could use those for Chinese Checkers

@Brain:
And I too would like the us to be have 2 incomes one for the Pacific and one for the Atlantic theatres.
I think forcing the USA to split the incomes would go against what I think Larry Harris A&A Idea is… I think the official rules will let you combine the US money in some way… USA money is USA money. I do think the game play won’t give you much wiggle room to shift all the income one way or another.
-
You could be right.

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!!!
everybody will have huge ammounts of IPC
but i think in earlier games USA is overrated with militairy force and underrated in terms of IPC -

+1, interesting. ^

Excellent- Gorshak +1 also- I’ll post this on Larry’s site for him to see, this may help balance or at least give a more historical G40 set up. :-)

Remember that some things have to be altered for the sake of game balance.

Yes, or else Allies would always win, which would be boring.
Give the allies some sort of economical advantage. Give the Axis the “priority advantage” (meaning they play first, which is what happened in the war at the beginning) and some sort of military advantage.
Easier said than done though. But I believe Larry does good game. No need to worry
