Alpha +1 , alpha +2 setup

I generally favor a G2 attack as there are very little Russian units on the board, the more rounds you wait to attack the more infantry they can stack in Moscow, Ideally on a G2 attack you can be attacking Moscow or on the brink of attacking when the allies threaten to land. The longer you wait to attack the longer you will have to fight a 2 front war.

I would say that france would benefit the axis because of their first turn fall and their additional income to germany and Italy, this would make the game a 3v2 like all axis and allies games.

Thank you very much!

just found it a bit odd that USSR got 9 ipc every turn and GE lost one of the bonuses of holding Europe…

but i guess i just need to play the A2 setup a bit more ^^

It was felt that two free infantry when at war didn’t do enough to make up for the loss of Soviet Pacific income in the Alpha environment.  This may change with further testing, however.

@McMan:

We’re about to start a game of Europe. Should we use Alpha with the blue changes?

My suggestion is to go ahead and use the Alpha with blue changes.  Our battle group just played a game of E40 this past Saturday and we used that setup and rules.  We did, however, change US NO #1 to read:

1. Collect 10 IPCs per turn for complete control of the continental US (CUS, EUS).

hi guys!

since dynamic counter would ruin it: first post coming up!

to the point: i have a layered europe map in the works. as i understand modules for regular sw are a work in progress as well, i still found this the only way to have a ‘map’ ready in acceptable time (i’m from central eu, would take a month or so for the actual boxes to arrive…).

only problem is with the layering, in the sense that you do need some basic PS knowledge and the sw itself (or equivalent) if you want to use it… meaning tossing around units and so…

still, if you’re interested, let me know, should be ready around… sunday evening (US time)… expect a huge file… :)

also, right now i m using a 1500x1500px base map, the highest resolution i could find. if sone happens to have a better one, please redirect me… (map only, no units and glares and stuff like that)

(note: player with some AA experience - myself - seeking opponent for aae40 game, as posted under the relevant section…)

As I said, the only time this would be good is if Russia holds all its territories and is about to attack Germany, and so Japan captures 1 territory to stop them.
