That’s more than half the fun discovering it on your own :)

It really is! And I impressed my playgroup too.

Thank you Teslas for your annalysis.  I had not done the math either.  Our group has used the house rule for a couple of games and it has not deminished the need for tanks nor have we found it to be an overwhelming advantage to the axis.  The UK player has made good use of the rule as has the US players.  I have no mathmatival data to counter your information and numbers do not lie but our rolling sucks…excuse me; inhales vigorously.  I can’t hit a one or a two to save my life some games.  Mechs by themselves do not eliminate the need for Germany to build infintry and I do not feel (I recognize it is just a feeling and an opinion) that they will not eliminate the need for tanks.  Time will tell I guess as we try this rule out.

YG,

––I agree that you have a really good European strategy there.
Our ‘gang’ usually has somewhat the same priorities, although our ‘gang’ tends to make any enemy Sea Transport target priority #1. Thus we usually have some brutal sea battles, and thus require more Destroyers to be used as “cannon fodder” losses.
1.) Take out the German navy, thus allowing security and an Allied fleet to exist.
2.) Bomb the Germans back to the stone ages.
––Go kill 'em

Error, I meant a CA.  No CV available on G1.

@elzario:

You mean ANZAC and UK right?

Whoops, yes.

Japan/Russia has no effect on UK/Anzac relations to Japan.
UK/Anzac can declare war on Japan “when they want” (so to speak)

Well, right now it seems like London isn’t hard to take.

T Where as aa42 would, in my opinion leave me felling I had just chosen to play a lesser game

I wouldn’t say AA42 is a lesser game. It is definitely shorter and smaller but for people like me that don’t have the room to set up an AAG40 game, AA42 fills the niche nicely. I added in NAs, NOs, a 1941 setup (thanks to Hobbes), and research and development to AA42 to make it a little better, or more like Revised with AA50 rules. And AA42 does not have all of the errata or set up changes to balance the game. Also, at retail price it is about $150.00 cheaper than AAG40.
