Petition for a Global Subforum

@Gargantua:

Then you are American.

Give up any delusions of being Indian - you are not.  Unless your parents were from there, and you make a point of getting dual citizenship, you are unfortunately SOL.

My parents were born in India and I do have an Indian passport

djensen….

It is the case that…
There is a set of Pacifc Only NOs used for Pac40
There is a set of Europe Only NOs used for Euro40
And there is a set of Global Only NOs

The Global set includes only some from Europe and Pacific, and includes some that are “global only”

True?

would 1942 work for Russia? they would have very little income seeing that most of their IPC’s are made i the western part of the country.

Yes, but with so much information overload I started doubting my own thoughts and ideas.

@Krieghund:

@GrayBlaZe:

Hey Keighund, got a question; Why could it not be considered to be up to a nine person global game instead of six.  I do understand that playing France, China or ANZAC will be very minor, however, it’s possible for nine people to draw straws and last three places got it get the minors.  Or am I missing somthing?  I’m assuming that it’s just listed as six because that is the max number that would be a good game to spread playing around equally so nobody is just totally eliminated fast with France or having to play limited China.  Is this correct?  Thanx……

You’ve already answered your own question:

@GrayBlaZe:

When they state the number of players, it is just a recomendation.  You could very well play with nine players except; France, China, & ANZAC would be quite boring, unless a newbe or child was playing with you, it would be good for them to play a minor country.  If you are playing with six then some player would play two counties, however, they are still considerd nine different armies; if you play two they don’t mix there income.  So it always be nine indiviual counties weither you play with nine people or two.

The “official” player mix listed in the rules is what we consider to be the best mix for optimal enjoyment of the game.  There’s nothing stopping you from changing that if you have more than six people who want to play.  I do think, however, that getting beyond six will definitely get into territory that could be at least somewhat boring for players of minor powers (ANZAC, China and France).  A seventh player playing all three wouldn’t be too bad, though.

@Axisgirl:

And if you let Italy eat up Africa…Then Germany looks pretty bleak

Africa will be hard, but if you can get through Egypt and Med you will be able to slowly move on the British, but they have an IC in South Africa. Russia will be bigger so Germany could get a lot more countless territories and France will be a few, so they can build up, but if the US ever gets there they are rich

@molinar13:

the same goes for a rail system. in the future if i can i will incorporate a rail, and block house system for my A&A games. they would really add a new prospective.

Flashman had some good ideas on a rail system.

As I said, the only time this would be good is if Russia holds all its territories and is about to attack Germany, and so Japan captures 1 territory to stop them.

@allboxcars:

@Brain:

Targeted attacks would be a nice rule, perhaps you would select your target and then attack at 1 less than your normal attack value.

IMTO, I don’t think the level of detail in A&A combat supports targeted attacks unless the Techs you’re envisioning are jet power + Harpoons / ALCMs.

#533

Maybe I should have said focused attack.
