Starting a new game of Eur 40 tonight - using Alpha 3 (Advice needed)

@derpsa As Germany you have to eliminate the Allied warships in Sea Zones 110 and 111. If you don’t sink these ships, the Allies will quickly be able to launch amphibious assaults against you. Then you’ll have a lot of trouble holding on to France and you’ll never make it into Russia.

The rules posted by Larry are for the Global game only.  What’s posted here is the “best guess” of what the rules for Europe will look like based on those changes.  It is unofficial at this point.

All movement must be done in Combat, or Non Combat phase.

so no

It’s difficult to say.  Only time and testing will tell.

I recently played my first alpha 2 game, and it did at much needed balance too the game buy lessening of the American war time economy. Also with the addition of infantry and fodder to the german war machine. Anyways, in a regular A&A Europe 1940, if the axis don’t have the game won on turn six is practically impossible. This is because on turn seven, even an incompetent USA player will have enough amassed force to destroy a province and gain a foothold in europe which is the end. The only chance Germany would have is if they control russia and have all their forces in france and central europe.

@MarkVIIIMarc:

St Louis Missouri has an excellent mail order place called miniature market.com. When i pre ordered mine they offered to ship it even though i live only twenty minutes away.

Minimarket does tons of ebay and website business with war at sea and other minis.

I live in San Jose. How long would it take from the time they ship it to the time it gets here? I ordered it yesterday, so it should ship tomorrow, on Monday

@cminke:

good idea but that would be ahistorical

i don’t care.

@questioneer:

No, Larry confirmed it will come with the Europe game- NOs Tech and all in June 2010.

Where can we get that confirmation.

I think that Questioneer is referring to comments made by Larry on his site.

I will confirm it as being the plan last I talked with him.  Now that doesn’t mean that WotC won’t screw it up by doing something else, but even that doesn’t seem likely. :roll:

I beginnig to believe they can screw anything up.
