@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.

Many thanks! That sounds clear to me.

All, just an FYI, but there is an A&A 40 Pacific discussion thread re: the Alpha set-up for the Pacific in the global game re: Siam. Since there is no truly “Global” site, just an FYI.

Thanks. Thats what I thought… but it seems odd that the industry has to be useless.

I know, but it’s still actually British because if it isn’t owned by the axis it’s “safe,” the way it is. So it’s pretty much a useless British factory, until it become axis then American. The US can still land troops there while still in “British,” control.

why the americans on turn 2 are near afrika?

Welcome, rabbit221!

A unit’s attack and defense ratings indicate which numbers on the die rolls score hits.  For example, infantry, with an attack rating of 1 and a defense rating of 2, score hits when attacking on a 1 and score hits when defending on a 2 or less.

invading turkey seems useless and dumb. why let the allies put all those extra men on the board, and what real advantage do you get from occupying turkey??? it makes no sense

The Axis take Turkey so they can move land units from Europe to Africa without using Russia to open a second front to attack the Brits in Cairo and Africa so that the Italians can become a threat the Germans send reinforcements especially with a major in romania.

Thats if your playing by the book I play by IL’s neutral rules where the true neutrals are split into blocks so that me invading turkey doesn’t give the US South America

If you want to move land units from Europe to Africa USE TRANSPORTS which are less expensive than taking Turkey and giving the US South America, UK Mozambique, Algeria, Afghanistan, Spain, and Portugal, and Russia Mongolia

The allies still get Spain, Portugal, Sweden, and Mongolia

You your self (Flash) have said many times that the US had control of the Pacific Theater and should be allowed joint ventures. W/Anzac it opens up the door to combined attacks, w/o involving two major (overpowering) countries. I still think its a step in the right direction, with some tweaks you could get more of what you want.
