@SuperbattleshipYamato If germanany does’nt send enough units to 110 and 111,I would consider scrambling.Generally if the number of dice I get to throw is equal or more than my opponents,I will scramble.
Of course that does’nt happen often.
Air and Naval Bases in Europe/Global 40
-
I’M quite sure there will be Air bases in USSR. In Ukraine, the territory in which Stalingrad will be placed (Volga?), probably Karelia/Leningrad. And Naval bases in Archangelsk, Karelia and Ukraine (looks like Crimea is in Ukraine on the map).
I don’t think there will be any Air base in France, besides the one in Paris of course. Most certainly a naval base in Britanny. And another one in Senegal/Dakar, on the Atlantic face of Africa.

also in the pic there is tech do you guys think there will be in Europe or just global

I am pretty sure it was confirmed: no tech in Europe. Anybody want to amen that?
Since there was none in Pacific, I doubt there will be any in Europe. In fact, I’d prefer they didn’t. I am also quite certain it is ON for Global though… and if it isn’t, well, I will use it anyway.

I think tech is optional in global

Well, yeah, isn’t tech usually optional?
I guess I have always thought it to be more fun to play with tech than without it… so I just always end up using it.

Well, Larry never plays with it. I guess it depends on your style. Some people think G40 will be better than AA50; some think AA50 is better since it is simpler but still awesome.

Most likely:
Air Bases:
East USA
UK
France (Atlantic side)
Germany (West Germany)
Iceland
Malta
Italy (Rome)
Egypt
South Africa
NorwayNaval Bases:
East USA
UK
Gibraltar
Germany (Baltic)
Italy (Rome)
South Africa
West India
Archangel (Russia)
British Guyana (South America)Just a guess
As far as bombing Air/Naval Bases… nope. Haven’t seen it once. Hell, I haven’t even bombed ICs in AAP40
Don’t you think Berlin Germany should have an airbase, like bombing raids on London.

West Germany would be better for that purpose.

more to the point what will tech be?

-
even that horrible “advanced artillery” tech?

-
Its almost unusable? I play with Russia the old school way. Buy stacks of infantry and NOTHING ELSE. With mech infantry now. artillery are really really redundant.
-
They can’t really have mechanized infantry or jet fighters because they would obsolete the new units. Even long rang aircraft would ruin air bases. Well anyway I’ll probably just use what ever IL comes up with. Or just use the NAs Danny Boy made for Pacific.

(Hopefully it is legal to take my own subforum off topic, because I don’t mind…)
I am not sure I understand why artillery are redundant now, as you say. To me they still have a place, perhaps more so for Russia than anyone else.
Artillery pieces are most useful if you have large quantities of infantry, like Russia does. Their pace is the same as that of infantry, so they can stay together during movement. And artillery can do wonders for attached infantry if the amount is right. Although infantry are the easiest buy for Russia, I feel that they need some sort of offensive punch/mobility, otherwise they get crushed by the Germans. Russia cannot afford to just dawdle the game out with infantry, at least that has been my experience. (Unless the Russian player basically has the other Allies Lend-Lease him everything they produce… but that it not a winning strategy either.)
And as for redundancy, artillery’s supportive role for infantry is unique within the game. Mechanized infantry, by contrast, are useful in their 2 space movement ability, but in combat that is unavailable without a matching tank. And Mech Infantry can still only attack on 1s. Now I can’t say with certainty pertaining to E40 and G40 because I have not played them, but in past games the most cost and tactically effective buy for Russia are infantry and artillery. (I think a few tanks are a good buy too, at least before they became 6 IPCs). Mech Infantry are no better than artillery, they only have different attributes. And there will be instances where Mech infantry are the better buy, it just depends. But I believe artillery still have their place.

http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=15160.0Thanks SAS, that was helpful.
I don’t think artillery is a game changer really, but they can help, especially if you have the extra couple IPCs to upgrade some of the infantry you’d buy to artillery. I have never gotten, or wished to get, Advanced artillery. While it may not be bad to have if you are Russia, there are generally better things to go for.

What are Danny Boy’s NAs?

I think you misunderstood me. You can buy other stuff with Russia. But realize you are taking a chance that it might not work. Infantry Spamming however works 100 percent of the time. GO ahead try your way. it might work and i emphasise that word “might”=maybe. But mine works every time without fail. And yes advanced artillery was a gimmick. I changed it to something usable. Really its a personal preference not an attack on the game creators. You can buy artillery with other nations but dont take chances with the Russian purchase phase.

I guy named dannyboy2016 made some Pacific 1940 here is the link. I’m starting to play test them and they are the best but a bit more complicated the normal NAs.
