Minor Threat's Alpha+3.9 (Global 1940) COMPLETE! Setup Charts

@Young:

@edfactor:

When Japan grabs the money islands, malaya, hong kong, FIC and the philippines its income nearly doubles, with a little push in China - Japan can outporoduce the US.  Japan only starts hurting when Japan plans poorly and doesn’t make a massive land grab on its first turn of war with the allies.

To be honest, I’m not sold on the idea that Japan can do all that plus hurt China. That doubled income may not last very long.

Depends on the Chinese player, mainly moving their stacks from air attack range.

However, if the Japanese player is consistent in striking Yunnan, denying China materials, it can be done. Trust me.

The real problem comes if Britain decides to do a can opener with tanks and mechanized infantry.

PM me,. then.

Oz,

Does that include Brazil?

I’d liked to have had more thought on the NOs as well.  They’re too vanilla.  There could have been some NOs for never losing certain territories (when you lose the NO, it’s GONE FOREVER) which could simulate lack of combat damage to factories, etc.  NOs for complete domination of entire continents (easy to snipe, if you can field a navy!)

Russia’s NO should be if they control territories back to China, they get free infantry - instead of cash.

Maybe none of that, but there certainly could have been more thought put into it.  Feels like half a game too me.  IMHO anyway.

Sir, you are color blind  :-D

But it is a useful map nevertheless, thanks!

Double down with 16-20 submarines CRD’ing your opponents.  You’ll see a very concerned look on your opponent’s face. (If you are axis)

Hey Field Marshal, no problem in posting on other site, I put them out here to share……  Sorry so long in getting back to ya, I hadn’t been on here for a while.

I have another idea that I’m might post soon if there’s am intrest…  It’s two documents that I use to track the game for fun and if there is a mistake you can refer back.  The’re simple, I didn’t want it to be time comsuming.  One is a grahpic global map and I just fill in the territories as they change powers.  It interesting after a game to flip through the images and watch how this changed hands and played out.  The other is an exec spredsheet that tracks the powers IPC count, keeping a real time comparison of the balance of power with percentages and graphs created when the IPC numers are put in.

Thanks bud.

Im looking to Frankenstein the ultimate 1940 global game ;) still looking for a battle chart too
