Advice to Renegade! What is on your top 10 for adjustments to G40 3rd edition?

[crockett36]

@FranceNeedsMorePower It is shocking that Germany does the naval battles in the same round as attacking France. France should demand every unit available to make happen. I completely agree.

[FranceNeedsMorePower]

@crockett36 I agree with your idea! That makes sense! I would also like to see better rules for when France falls. The game is already in depth why not add Vichy French? Larry Harris didn’t because he didn’t want to over complicate the game but the game is already complicating. As far as Germany being able to do so much G1 is inaccurate. They were able to crush France but not the whole British navy.

[crockett36]

I’m still working on making France goes first work. Been on vaca or busy. A simple change to the set up and you could have your own mod in tripleA. I’d add a French fighter and 6 more infantry to Paris. And one more AA gun. I’m not sure of the historical situation (The French submarine fleet I mean) but you could add a French sub to 93 as well.

[crockett36]

@crockett36 I’ll play you if you want to edit that set up. Be warned the next three weeks will be very slow. Grandkids coming into town.

[FranceNeedsMorePower]

@crockett36 As much as I like the idea of France being more powerful I still want it to reflect reality. The setup for France is very accurate. And, it’s not like they don’t have a lot of units. They are just right next to the massive German attack. They have more material than China and Anzac, and make more money than them. I would enjoy playing a Global game! Have not played with a lot of people recently. I’m not sure if you just meant to test the French extra unit setup. But I would play Global OOB with no tech. Again, I’m not sure if that’s what you meant though.

[crockett36]

@FranceNeedsMorePower Yes, I’d like to play you with the edited Paris. For fun. To get the feel. The impact. Why no tech?

[FranceNeedsMorePower]

@crockett36 I know what tech is but suck at it. We could use just don’t expect me to use many of my IPC’s on it or any.

[FranceNeedsMorePower]

@crockett36 Who would be what side?

@crockett36

Hi Crockett,

What is the back ground for the “Advice to Renegade - G40 3E” ?

Do you have any correspondence with Renegade Company concerning if they are planning a G40 3E ?

[crockett36]

@The-Captain No, I was trying to grab their attention with this post. I’m sure someone lurks here once in a while. I haven’t seen Larry in 9 months. My schedule changed so Saturdays are not available for 6 months.

[crockett36]

@FranceNeedsMorePower I’m flexible. I always prefer the good guys but need to get better at pillaging and plundering.

[crockett36]

@FranceNeedsMorePower I get it. Tech is extremely poorly implemented. Of course, historically, every tech listed WAS ACTUALLY part of the war by 1945 or turn 12. So it feels unrealistic to not have it as an option. With anniversary tokens preferably.

[FranceNeedsMorePower]

@crockett36 I’m not picky either, I will let you choose.

[crockett36]

@crockett36 zero pressure to win or do well. playtesting is about kicking the tires. having fun.

[crockett36]

@crockett36 Well, I want this to be your baby so I will choose the Axis. I’ll try to set it up by tomorrow morning.

[crockett36]

@crockett36 pm me your email.

[crockett36]

@crockett36 And any last minute set up changes?

With playtesting I like to have targeted variables. That way we can see the results clearly. I will try and play Abbott to your Costello. I will likely do a Russia crush. Let’s play 3 rounds and see where we are. I’m assuming from the get-go that Japan will have to win this war.

I am going to ask for 1 infantry extra for the Germans in Po, Ro, Nor, Ge, Slo, GSG. That will give me a little hope for the march east.

[FranceNeedsMorePower]

@crockett36 Sure, for your awareness I have not done in actual triplea game before only sent saved games back and forth. Could you do that or no? If no I could try to look into my triplea.

[The Captain]

@crockett36

Okay,

For your information, about a year ago I sent the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion rulebook to Renegade Company.

As well as the Global 1943 Expansion rulebook.

They were gratefull for this.

But I haven’t heard from them since.

I suggest, that you contact Renegade and advice them on your plans.

[FranceNeedsMorePower]

@The-Captain I wonder why you have not heard from them. Personally that kinda seems rude of them. Maybe not though.
