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?

Wow,

Alot’s changed in the last 20 years of Axis and Allies.  You’ve got alot more playable countries to work with, namely France, China, Italy, and ANZAC.  USSR always goes after Germany now, the submarine rules are WAY different, Battleships and Carriers take 2 hits to go down, they made the cities on the board the victory conditions, there are diplomatic rules as in how and why the USSR and USA come into the war…

Also, a list of the new pieces:
-Artillery (pair with infantry to increase attack power)
-Mech Infantry (moves 2)
-Tactical Bombers (pair with fighters or tanks to increase attack power)
-Destroyers (anti-sub)
-Cruisers (less powerful Battleship)
-Air Bases and Naval Bases (increase range of planes and ships)

There are major and minor complexes now, SBR rules are different, and if you go into neutral countries now you have to fight instead of paying 3 bucks.

@Koningstiger:

Land three American transports loaded with 3x infantry and 3x tanks in Africa and along with the assistance of the Brits and some token French forces, the Axis will never ever control all of Africa! An Allied player that allows this is defeinitely doing something wrong! ( I agree that Africa is a relative sideshow, but you simply cannot allow the Axis to take ALL the African IPCs!)

The Us can send three tanks to Brazil and pick up the three men there.

Wouldn’t you have to unload at least one of the tanks to claim the infantry? That would then also mean that transports’s move is over since you unloaded. You wouldn’t be able to move that transport again until your next turn. Apart from that that’s a good points. I also go to Africa via Brazil. Again, an Allied player that allows the Axis to completely conquer Africa is doing sth wrong…

okay here is what I do take (1sub, 1fighter) to 109 (2subs, 1fighter, 1tatical) to 110 and 111 (battelship cruiser fighter tatical) to 112
(infantry, artillery) to Normandy (5infantry, artillery, 4 mech, 5tanks, bomber) to France

-this will let you take out most of the RN with just subs as loses and there will nothing that the U.K. can do take europe.

france will be controlled by Germany. just build a destoryer in seasone 112 to prevent fighter attack on your navy. build a minor factory in Romaina this will frist let you build units in a better position in eastern europe + let you build subs for the med. with this and Normandy you should be able to help out Italy enough

My friend… a little searching never hurt anyone. The top thread in the Axis & Allies Pacific 1940 board has what you are looking for:

This is better than anything WOTC will make.
