A&A: Free Deployment Variant
-
@superbattleshipyamato When I mean historical game deployment I mean the original, unmodified game deployment. 1940: If Germany wants to stack the Eastern front they can but remember the French player can place all their units in Paris making it necessary to take it (but atleast it won’t take all those rounds to move the scattered infantry to the Eastern front as Germany) Russia can optimally setup their forces and this would especially help on the pacific side of the board.
On the otherhand, Japan can setup for a J1 attack making it much more unbalanced. Yes, the USA can have their entire fleet in the Hawaii seazone but it’s still not much to a optimized turn 1 Japanese fleet. Also all that equipment from Japan can annihilate anything because they don’t have to worry about transports that much except for taking the money islands (the equipment in Tokyo can be used to annihilate China for example)
There might have to be some bids here but it would need to be play tested first.

So basically what I said, only spaces which the powers already have units in. Can the British move their army to Paris?
I think this will be fun once all the kinks are worked out.

@superbattleshipyamato Yea I suppose so :) It would be a super meatgrinder, especially if they move in their AA. Maybe the Germans wouldn’t want to risk that so they keep a chunk of their forces in the front with France. If the Germans win the battle, the Soviets will have the advantage because it will be until like round 3 when the Germans are able to attack them but it might let a sealion be possible. Also the african front would be swiftly destroyed by the Italians. If the Germans lose the battle for Paris then it’s game over for them.

Indeed.
Also, there’s no division between British European and British Pacific units, right? So you can move the entire navy to say, sea zone 37?
-
@superbattleshipyamato No they are different
-
Wait what? So British units on the Pacific map can only move among themselves and vice versa for Europe?
-
@superbattleshipyamato Yeah, it says it in the rulebook
-
What rulebook? You mean the original game’s rulebook? I know the economies are different, but what about the units? In your version can we move them around freely?
-
You still here?

Please answer my question.
