Trnsport casualties

Read closer, I mention bids, many times.

I think that’d be a really good idea because urals factories were genuinely a big contender to the war. Would people ever play with it though is the question?

If you haven’t tried France goes first, you might want to give it a whirl. What can France do besides attack N Italy.

retreat to S France, delaying the invasion of Moscow by one turn guaranteed. Build an aircraft carrier and land two planes on it, saving the 110 fleet or making it more costly for the German air force. turtle in Paris, purchasing 6, adding 4 from Norm, SF and a fig from London. How many more German air are needed to make that completely safe. Thereby, saving some more British navy.

Why should France go first?
1a. After Germany went into Poland, the ball was in France’s court. They actually invaded Germany and then turned around and apologized. In this scenario, they don’t apologize.
1b. There is a 50 to 60 ipc imbalance at the upper levels. So bid or this or another house rule. The disadvantage to a bid is that poor purchase/placement can only highlight one’s lack of experience, skill, etc. This is a standardized, simple fix.
2. This is part of my handicapping system. Playing against a person who is not as good as you and still want a challenge–crockett’s time machine. You could even move back another notch and let Anzac start. Or even further.

@andrewaagamer excellent, thank you!

The point of who it helps is not really a big concern in my opinion. At least not in a game as big as G40. If They made the rules to make the defender the strongest, then the two forces would be standing right next to each other. if they made the rules so that the attacker is the strongest, then the two forces would deadzone each other.

there are so many rules and effects that help the attacker or defender, Order or casualties is probably one of the least important. More important include: unit stats, planes cannot land on taken terretory, planes needs carriers or airbases to defend a seazone, retreating gives you an extra round of production in your stack while removing one from your enemy, taking a capitol gives you all of the money, etc…

You must take the hits on planes/surface warships.

@Krieghund:

Yes, they can.

Is it possibile to have kamikaze aircrafts? Let me explain: can i use aircrafts to conduct attacks at sea that they have no possibility of return?

No. You must be able to land, even if that landing site is pending a naval battle or non combat carrier move or sea zone build.

Japan has a special Kamikaze attack that is activated by the allies under specific conditions, but it does not involve normal air units on the board. These are 6 one time attacks on enemy ships excluding subs and transports.

See: page 21 AAEurope 1940 bottom paragraph under “Air Units” third bullet point, last sentence: “You can’t deliberately move an air unit out of range of a potential safe landing space.”

See also: page 13 AAEurope 1940 first paragraph under “Air Units” first sentence: “An air unit that moves in the Combat Move phase must generally reserve part of its move value for the Noncombat Move phase, at which point it must return to a safe landing spot using its remaining movement.”

Note: This is not an official answer, just being helpful.

Thank you. :-)
