I think this is what you are looking for:

Don't always trust TripleA when it comes to rules questions. Know the rules before you start … and better check what TripleA has done.

Yeh if left alone like they were Anzac can amass quite a fleet and then do some real work. Subs are cheep so if you can keep your transports alive they can be the backbone of a naval fleet to push and at the very least pull some Japan fleet away from other key positions.

@Baron:

@Young:

I like your idea of reducing the UK NOs to just Malta for UKE, and just Malaya for UKP, however… just like Japan needs to side step their own NOs to take away UKP’s NO (Malaya), Italy should do the same around Malta, or get help from Germany.

Sorry, I miswrote my intent. I really like your two NOs as they were.
I was just emphasized the main interesting target from historical POV.

Cheers.

However, my biggest problem is USA being forced to split it’s IPCs between Europe and the Pacific theaters. What? Since when did the United States do an even split? You’re disabling the American ability to flexibly respond to crises as they arise? I.e., “looks like UK is going down due to Sea Lion and Russia is in deep doo doo. Too bad we can’t spend more in the European theater, even though the Japanese fleet is destroyed… Got to build more Carriers in San Francisco” That’s crazy.

I agree here, I’ve since changed my mind about this.

FYI Adobe Lightroom will compress the pics but still keep best possible resolution. There are other tools but this one is straightforward to use and the full version is free for 30 days. I’m a creative photographer and use it all the time.

To change picture size - import pics first. Then select pics to change, click Export (bottom left corner) and under File Settings / Limit File Size To, put in the size you want. You can also clean up the white balance and tone to take out that yellow tint.

German Air Base on the Atlantic wall? (early game)

Holland airbase may sometimes be built on round 3 to deter an American airstrike on the German transport fleet after sealion. If you are seriously committed to sealion on the very first turn no matter what, then building the airbase G1 it is a better deal than a carrier because you will go into G3 with a battleship instead of a carrier. Normandy naval base will repair it for you so 2 hits to the battleship saves 2 planes just like the carrier, but the BB also attacks @4 and the base costs $1 less. The best part is they might take the bait and attack it and lose planes, which is good for Germany in any sealion scenario. More likely your extreme level of commitment to sealion should lead the allies to play conservatively with their air forces, so there will be no attack on your battleship, no Taranto attack, and USA may build in preparation for sealion rather than focus on Pacific defense. The big downside to it is you are basically locked into sealion because if you don’t go through with it, you will have to tie up an awful lot of resources defending it for minimal benefit.

Welcome, indignation!

Retreating is done at the end of a combat round. You can’t skip the prior steps and go straight to retreating, so you must fight at least one round of each declared battle. It’s the same in all versions.

However, in AA42, AA50, and AA40, attacking (and defending) subs may avoid fighting by submerging at the beginning of the first round if there are no opposing destroyers.

So, you think you are good at figuring out who is ahead in a game?

I think the Axis look strong.
Japan looks to have a good grip of India, and while there’s many Chinese left, you can see that Germany and Japan is close to linking up.

So even though Germany looks thin in Europe and have lost the Med. - and even though Russia looks to have many troops left, Russia is all but surrounded by Germany/Italy. So if you can prevent reinforcement into Russia, it looks like Axis can pull this off.

Just received the game! Anyone have setup in a document?

@Omega:

Still need to know the units per nation

There is a list at the Europe 40 entry of boardgamegeek.com, and someone posted a list of his units here on the forum (prolly on page 2), which lead to others posting theirs…showing quite some differences.

I am still missing all my Russian units… :cry:
