Find AAE40 in Houston

europe seems so lackluster.

I do not know if the Alpha 2 rules apply to Europe 1940 as they are written specifically for Global 1940.  Certain changes may have disproportionate effects on the game if you remove Japan, Australia and India from the picture.

However, perhaps the Europe half of the “Kill America First” strategy would be beneficial here (assuming Alpha 2 applies to Europe version.)

Nutshell Description: 10-13 Transports and accompanying fleet in SZ 91 which is in range of Canada, United States, Gulf of Mexico, Brazil and England.  You can have the 20-26 troops split between Morocco and Gibraltar as you see fit.

Nutshell Goals: Split the allied forces to defend more territories; snipe American and British National Objectives; threaten the US directly (encouraging ground units instead of naval units to be purchased); secure the Med; Allow the Italians to come out and join you (great for dealing iwth Allied navies!  Can open with the Italians, go for the meat with the Germans.)

I thought I had seen one as well, but I was unable to find it……

I could not access the unit lists…

I think my 9 Soviet TAc bombers and 9 Halftracks are a strange number (usually units come in even numbers or multiples of five IIRC

Man I cannot wait to try these gambits out! Too bad I’m gonna be knee deep in homework and studying by the time I get the game (school starts 8/19 for me).

@WILD:

By the way Calvin, Larry has been very active on your thread on his site titled “Balancing Pacific 1940” thought you should know. Check it out, he is ranking suggestions for possible changes to Pac40.

(Sorry to side track this thread)

I know. It started with 1-2 pages. A few weeks later, 15 pages

India will not have two “bumps”! So stop claiming that it will.

Proof? –-Take out your AAP40 map (if you do not have an AAP40 then go buy one) and closely look at India.

Now follow the India coastline to the back of the game board.

See how the coastline is still going southeast.

Depending on where the black backer paper is, you can see 5-6mm (1/4") of the AAE40 map.

On my game board I can see some of the boarder separating E. India from W. India.

Just like on the other edge of the same board is 5-6mm (1/4") of the other half of AAP40 map.

I can see—
  —part of the"M" of Marianas (SeaZone 22),
  — half of the “G” of New Guinea
  — half of the “Q” of Queensland
  — half of the “N” of New South Wales

The bottom of India on the AAP40 map is NOT the southern tip of India.

The coastline continues southeast a few millimeters on the AAE40 map before heading northeast.
