Our gaming group has come to the conclusion that some bid is needed to balance the game for the Allies. In reading through the posts it seems to me that the general consensus is that the Allies need a bid of about 9-12.
My questions are:
Is a bid of 9-12 the current and reasonable amount? As we will not want to bid for a particular side, we will set a certain bid point for each game and then let people choose which side they want to be as some Players enjoy playing particular Powers. So what is a fair bid?My group usually goes 10-15, some where in the ball park of 8 to 14 is what everyone does.
Is this bid added as starting income to be spent on Turn 1?What Siparo said.
Is this bid added as units and money such as the Revised FIDA bid?Never played revised, and what is FIDA? Another government agency?
Is this bid added as units on the board with remainders as starting money?Siparo doesn’t do it, but my group allows it.
For any units placed on the board are there any restrictions? For example:
a) Must have a unit already in the territory / sea zone?
b) May not place more than X number of units?My group has 3 rules:
1. Must be one unit per territory/seazone.
2. Can only be placed in a territory/seazone where you already have units occupying it.
3. Can only be a unit that power has access to (china can be inf and art only).I would appreciate your kind thoughts and comments. Thank you…

You can’t do that.
Because for all land battles, you must be at war with all nations you are attacking, whether they control the territory, or units. It is only at SEA that you can attack units of powers with which you are at war, and not others.I would quote you rulebook but don’t have time. Family waiting for movie night.
Oh. Just saw your second question is a different one.
Germans can move into Italian territory that was originally Russian without declaring war because it’s not Russian territory anymore. It’s Italian.
Note that a German sub in 125 nullifies the NO even if Russia is not at war with Germany at the time, but is at war with Italy only.

Hi, quick question, a game is happening now.
With the rockets scientific advance, do I NEED to conduct a tatical/strategical bombing to use the rockets? or can it be made even if no raids are happening in the turn? -
Rockets are independent of your planes
Rockets are launched by your airbases. -
Situation:
Italians make an amphibious assault from SZ98 with 1 Destroyer, 1Cruiser and 2 Transport full with 3 Inf and 1 Art uploaded against Ägypt. There was an british Airbaise with 2 Fig and 1 Tac. The british decides to scramble. The Italians rolls 1 hit (the british Tac), the british rolls 2 hits (Destroyer and Cruiser).Questions:
1. After this first attack round can the italians decide to withdraw only with the 2 transports?
2. If yes, are the landunits retreat on the transports too? -

If India and West India are under Japanese control and UK takes back West India, do they get the two pu’s?

@captain:

only UK Pacific can collect For west India. So if they don’t have the capital then no. the other allies can collect for West India however.
-
Thanks for the quick reply!
-
In other words, any Ally with a capital (not the Dutch, obviously) can possibly collect from West India EXCEPT UK Europe.
Note also that UK Europe can NEVER build facilities on West India. If UK forces liberate West India, it is UK controlled, but when UK controlled, only India could build facilities there, and never London

you rock gamerman. is there any wonder why you are such a great player - you truly know the rules inside and out backwards and fowards.

Would London still collect the IPC’s since they took control of it from Japan and the capital is in enemy hands?

No, London never collects IPC’s from any UK Pacific territories

Hi guys,
Im going to play global again with the new set of rules in over more then 2 years.
I can only find separate rules and setups for both games but not for the global game.
I understand russia gets 6 infantries in 3 territories in the east and 2 AA`s in one, UK -1 in egypt and anzac +2 in egypt and Russia loses its 2 infantry bonus.
Is there anything else im missing about the setup?
I also have a question… Whats the increase in IPC
s the USA gets once it gets into war and I remember having some one-time payment of IPCs on certain occasions…The last rules ive played where the alpha 3,9 rules (I think?) and I wonder if there`s a recent chart of National Objectives.
Thanks a lot guys!

That’s the way it is - look toward the back of the Europe book for the Global rules.

You’re comparing the Europe setup to global. Again, look in the back of the Europe book for instructions on playing global. Perhaps you are unaware of those.
Is there anything else im missing about the setup?
I also have a question… Whats the increase in IPC
s the USA gets once it gets into war and I remember having some one-time payment of IPCs on certain occasions…USA just has at-war NO’s (like Russia does). They’re the same as the last Alpha. USA has a homeland NO for 10, 5 for Alaska/Hawaii/Aleuts etc, 5 for West Indies, Panama, Mexico etc for a total of 20. They can also get 5 for Phillipines if Japan has not taken it.
So normally, you are looking at the USA income going up 20 when joining the war, but there are ways for the Axis to reduce that.The last rules ive played where the alpha 3,9 rules (I think?) and I wonder if there`s a recent chart of National Objectives.
Thanks a lot guys!
There are very few changes from the last Alpha to 2nd edition. Yukon territory is eliminated. A slight tweak was made to the Mongolia rules that adds Korea to the list of territories Russia can’t attack without breaking the pact. One infantry subtracted from Egypt for UK. I think that was it.
You also need links to the latest FAQs. P@nther has provided those in the past - if you scan through this thread I don’t think you’ll have to go too far back until you see them. I would answer you more completely, but I’m not sure what you know or don’t know. So feel free to ask follow up questions.

@P@nther:

Shoot, it was only one page back. Here you go.

Can my Italian Paratroppers be used to invade an empty North African territory as long as there is at least one of my land units attacking from an adjacent territory? In other words, can I use the ability to get troops into Africa as long as there are reachable Allied territories to attack?
My opponent recently abandoned a French territory in North Africa and left it empty just to prevent me from using an airbourne assault from Rome as a transport to Africa. He said I couldn’t drop paratroopers into an empty enemy territory even if I had a unit attacking from an adjacent territory.
-
You can add paratroopers to an empty territory if you are attacking with at least 1 other land unit. Your opponent is incorrect - he can’t prevent paratroopers by emptying out territories.

2nd question about paratroopers…
If they are deployed as part of an amphibious assault, and the landing fails due to sea combat… What happens to the paratroopers?
