IPC for each country in alpha 2

There is a usefull IPC chart available for use at the website  I Will Never Grow Up.  If you scroll down a bit and look for a APPS logo on the right side it will take you a spot that you might find helpfull.  The chart goes up to 104 and you can move the countries markers around. I use that a lot.

How nice. They look very straightforwardly, I guess they are great help to make the game run more streamlined.

Wittman is right about the importance of taking Paris with Germany.  A couple weeks ago, my group had an interesting development– Germany failed to take Paris due to horrific rolls.  Usually, that would end the game, but the Italian Player ended up taking it, and he went wild with the extra income-- he controlled all the Med and knocked the Allies out of North Africa and was well on the way to South Africa by I5 or I6.  Despite Italy’s success, Germany was never able to get that subtle edge over the Soviets.

Without the income boost, Germany cannot mount a very viable SeaLion, AND the build-up to Barbarossa is too anemic to make the push on Moscow really strong.  It is amazing how vital that 17 IPC boost is for maintaining a good head of steam.

Hi, so today I was playing the OOB version of Axis and allies europe 1940 and obviusly ( indeed, a lot of people already said this ) is very un-balanced, so now I decided to change to ALPHA 2, but I have a question, what is the setup, NO’s and turn order for europe theatre only?

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.)

Welcome to A&A ccasey!!

what you do is you buy troops
you do your combat move if you win the territory you raise your ipc amount up as many numbers as the territory says
then at  the end of your turn you look at the National Production Chart and Collect that amount for that country
your countries DO NOT share there money’

Keep Playing

Dear god, ……

Blasphemy!

@Brain:

If you want more naval battles, then increase the value of the convoy zones.

Or increase the number of sea zones to create an air gap.

That could work.
