AAE40 setup ( now verified)

I can recognize some of the techs from AA50:

Paratroopers, Radar, War Bonds, Jet Fighters, Improved Shipyards…

The first one sure looks like “Advanced Artillery”

@Imperious:

OMG!!!

You are correct the set up says major factory, but it is a 2 IPC territory…

hahahahah!!

Uh oh… bad sign… we are finding mistakes already.

@McMan:

Normandy is only worth 2, shouldn’t the IC be minor? Oh no! We alreasy need an errata! :roll:

I think it says minor

1 Advanced Artillery
2 Rockets
3 Paratroopers
4 Increased Factory Production
5 Warbonds
6 Improved Mech Infantry

7 Super Submarines
8 Jet Fighters
9 Improved Shipyards
10 Radar
11 Long Range Aircraft
12 Heavy Bombers

I think ive seen this somewhere before……

Upon further inspection
the Normandy factory is likley Minor

Same here.

“Improved Mechanized Infantry”??        That sounds kinda lame. At least it isn’t very creative.

looks kind of fuzzy to me, but I think it says “minor”, not major.

If Italy are smart they should be able to knock out the Med (after building a few ships  :wink: )
Then once they get that Egypt shouldn’t be too hard but, requires thought
French Africa will be done after Egypt just hoping the French won’t attack.
Then the rest of Africa will require an IC and should be Italian victory.

So even battle by the looks.

I am very disappointed about the scale of the setup in Europe when compared to Pacific. Germany only has 9 aircrafts while Japan has 28… I expected Germany to have close to 20 aircrafts so that the scaling would not be so different between both games. I only wish that, in the global game, this ridiculous difference between the setup of both maps gradually disappears after a few turns of fighting. What a shame.  :-(

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…

is it me, or do the allies recieve allot, too much if concluded that US and USSR are still neutral first rounds… ?

Should Italian Somaliland have 3 INF?
