AAE40 setup ( now verified)

[gamerman01]

San Chillos, is it possible G40 has a different setup?  Unlikely, but possible?  Eh - you’re probably right……  J just has a ridiculous number of aircraft, and Larry claims he scaled it way down.  Well, at least J won’t be able to get aircraft to Europe easily…  :-P

I’m quite surprised all the techs are the same, except mech infantry surely won’t be as great of an improvement as it was in AA50, since you can buy mech for 4.  I suppose it lets you drag along regular infantry or artillery or something.  You guys think rockets will still have a range of only 3?

I suppose LRA is still the overpowered +2  :|

EUS is 20, CUS is 12. US Euro=35. US Pacific=17. Both+30 war NO=82 ipcs.
USSR is 37 when you add 9 ipc’s from Pacific.
France is 19 in Global.

I’m rather surprised Malta is empty.

@Imperious:

United States 35 IPC:
Central USA: 1 Infantry, 1 Mechanized Infantry, 3 Bombers, 1 Major IC
Eastern USA:1 Infantry, 1 Artillery, 1 Tank, 1 Fighter, 1 Major IC
Sea Zone 108:1 Destroyer, 1 Transport

I guess there are 1 air base and 1 naval base in the Eastern USA…

Should Italian Somaliland have 3 INF?

Malta is empty and Gibralter has a unprotected AB and NB?

Exactly

They might be undefended in terms of land units, but what naval forces dose Britian have off shore?

If you ask me, it seems Malta won’t matter much because they’d have to get enough there to be able to sink the whole Italian navy by scrambling, or get a decent land force in there to protect their planes, which would mean getting by the Italian navy, which if you can do it, likely means the Italian navy is sitting at the bottom of the Mediterranean, in which case you don’t need Malta.

i know in the past even 1 or 2 fighters on malta has caused quite a bit of frustration for the Axis in sinking transports on their way to N Africa. also gibralter was key stepping stone for British to ferry fighters and bombers to malta and Africa.

Well, Larry did say the players would have to transform Malta into the “fortress” that it was historically.

OK when will the US Atantic Fleet get some respect?  Only 1 Destroyer it should at least get a CA or a Battleship

Well, it’s 1940.  And the USA has a lot of money……

[maverick_76]

Well since it is 1940 there wouldn’t be much of a fleet in the Atlantic. I mean you do have a lot of money with the US so it wouldn’t be too hard to buy one right away.

Might be one of the “playability issues” Larry always mentions, but trust me, I feel you on that regard.
