What do you want to be the next AA game?

@malstrom:

… a downloadable PDF photo of the global board?

In the Global-Thread there is at least a high-res. photo:

You can easily convert it into a pdf of course, but I assume you think about something like IL’s maps.

I recently played my first alpha 2 game, and it did at much needed balance too the game buy lessening of the American war time economy. Also with the addition of infantry and fodder to the german war machine. Anyways, in a regular A&A Europe 1940, if the axis don’t have the game won on turn six is practically impossible. This is because on turn seven, even an incompetent USA player will have enough amassed force to destroy a province and gain a foothold in europe which is the end. The only chance Germany would have is if they control russia and have all their forces in france and central europe.

@Imperious:

On UK 1 they build the 9 inf, not naval.

The ships from Gibraltar move to block, but these are lost if Germany tries anyway.

The advantage is your getting some German air exchanged.

The latter problem is if they don’t attack, you still have a buy a fleet and make it save because Germany will still have subs and UK needs to kill them to get its NO’s

If the fleet attacks Italy, they take out the Italian navy in addition to german air

@WILD:

In AA50, France has an AA gun only in the later (42) set up. They don’t get one in the 41 set up. Maybe they felt that Germany over time set up more AA def then what France had originally? It does seem kinda weird that a world power like France that knew the Germans were eventually going to attack, wouldn’t have better AA def though. It must be for game play, if the French had an AA gun they would have had to bump the Luftwaffe to account for it. This would have made the Euro game out of balance compared to the Pac as far as air (yea I am joking).  Maybe it had something to do with France surrendered before the German’s sacked the capital, and they left their AA gun in Paris (LOL).

France may have had a large army at the time, but its command structure had not changed much from WW I, and in fact some of the generals in charge were WW I holdovers. I believe Gamelin set up his headquarters in a remote castle without telegraph lines.
And of course, they thought that the Maginot line was going to do the defending for them.

Global National Objectives please.

Global and Europe (when you have time)

@Bube:

I think that the global game will sell seperatly so the can sell us all the sutff that should have been in the game in the first place.

They have already stated that there will not be a separate global game. Everything you need will be included in both the Pacific and Atlantic games.

No.

Like other posters have said, they do give some flavor, but most of them just make the game try to follow the track of the actual war. Say for instance, the ‘Russian Winter’ NA for the Soviet Union. Needless to say when playing Germany, it left me in the cold.

Marines are also not a national advantage, several countries had marine/amphibious assault units. Or partisans, several countries resistanced and conducted sabotage operations, not just people in Soviet territories.

So yeah, adds flavor, but opens up a can of worms too.  :lol:

@Brain:

@i:

well mabe you tweke that abit so you can only do 50% damage to factoreis when attakeing but defending you can kill it if you what

What?

i meant if you attack you can only do 50% damage but defending you can do 100% damage
1damage=1hit
so if you have ten inf and roll 5 2 when defending you can take those hits and damege you indestrey.

Still a little lost
