The most effective russian players I’ve encountered are the ones that are able to build up a force that is able to threaten a counter on a german stack. If a good german player wants to go for Moscow they are able to get it, however I’ve seen plenty games where the UK/USA are putting enough pressure on the German player for him to stop just in front of Moscow. If the Russian player only has bought inf at this point there is not much of a threat for the German player to keep russia contained and slowly kill it economically. However if there is a stack of paired inf/art the pushback power is a lot bigger and thus Germany can be challenged and Russia may be able to break the German wall.
For Global 2nd Ed Question is India's Industrial Complex is it a Major or Minor?
-
Just confirming it is a Major Industrial complex.
For some reason when we set up the game board we placed a minor.
And verified in Triple A they have a minor in both global and just pacific. -
Sir Cala: it is a Major.
I am playing some AAA Global and have bought and placed more than 3 units.
Which version are you playing that is showing it as Minor? -
World War II Pacific 1940 2nd Edition
Map Name: World War II Pacific Number Of Players: 8okay you can place more than 3 but when you look at the territory it says base production 3 when looking at the territory tab
-
Thank you. I had not noticed.
If you can place 10 units, I would not worry.
You are right to remember it is a Major. It is Australia that has the Minor. -
“Base Production” simply means the amount of IPCs that territory gives, which happens to be “3”
In many A&A games, the IPC production of a territory is directly linked to the limit of the amount of troops that may be produced from a factory there. (Which I guess is why its called “Base Production” in TripleA)
In Pacific/Europe/Global 1940, the factory production limit is not linked to the IPC production of the territory they’re on.
-
ok that makes sense
-
there is only an indirect link.
a 1 (or 0) ipc terr cant get a factory, and thus cant produce anything
a 2 ipc terr cant get a major factory, an is thus limited to 3 units produced
a 3 or more terr can build a major IC an is limited to 10 units produced (this is only a limitation for eastern and central USA with production of 12 and 20 ipcs)
