Is National Objective money awarded every turn, or only once?

Great!

@groskopf said in Losing as the Allies every time!:

@AndrewAAGamer , No bid.

Well that is a major issue right there. It is generally accepted the Axis have a major advantage in Global 1940 OOB. Bids of 30-50 are typical and I have seen them and played them higher than that.

Check out our Tutor Game below where there is a discussion of where the bid should go and why.

@Larrie:

@Maddog77:

When the US declares war on it’s 3rd non-com phase, the minor complexes are immediately converted to major and then the US can place 8 units in eastern US on it place units phase, right? Or do the complexes get converted on US’s next turn?

  Curious as to where you came up with the number 8. As minors produce 3 units and majors 10 units.

The particular game we were playing at that moment, the US had 8 units it wanted to place, assuming the complexes were able to be converted……but we had it all wrong anyway as we learned from this thread.

You can certainly do this in a face to face game- play the two separate boards together-
Germany and Japan go at the same time (With Russia in between- have to respect turn order, but Japan may not be at war with Russia)
Then the UK/China/USA goes
Then Italy/ANZAC/France

Then start over.  Of course this only works with 3-4 players so you can have people going at the same time.

Screw doing a bid.

Do a lottery,  shake up all the roundels in your hand, and hand them out randomly.

If people want to trade, let them.  If not, forget it, and play.

Adding up to 120 in IPC’s to the game board, is NOT how to play Axis and Allies.

@TheDefinitiveS:

Now with the Alpha +2 rules i think it is theatre specific but im not sure hopefully someone can confirm/deny this.

Nope.  Not as of Alpha +.2

It’s something many people are petitioning for, but I doubt it will be made official.  There’s a lot of ways to do it, but not many are truly balanced.

How to say…. I do believe it takes more vision and experience  to win woth the axis but if both players have it the allies must somehow steal the iniative to tip the scales in their favor.

doesnt it take until roind two for Anzac to get their bonus anyway? The transport starts off in an unfortunate position.
(I am away from my board so i may be wrong)
