Simple Victory Condition

@ButterSurge hello! I am a Global War 36 player, i am interested in trying this scenario out but, id like to limitations on when things happen. One of the things i like about global war is that the axis can attack and declare war as they please, which puts a fun spin it the game in my opinion. With that being said, have you done a test game without the set time declarations?

@Young:

But you can use them in any battle you choose, so you can have 2 Admirals, or 2 Generals… why can’t we rewrite history like the game proposes?

Admirals and Generals are collectively known as Flag Officers, at least in some nations, so you could use that single term for both categories.

Place 1 partisan in each axis controlled empty territory of Russia. Defends at 1.

Hey Desertrfox, trust me when I say that I’ve spent a lot of time on this and there are no easy solutions. Your idea has a good solid foundation for naming a winner. However, I see a few issues that might undermind some strategies.

1. There is no reason for the Axis to go into Africa if it does nothing to help them win the game, this would be unfortunate as most fun games have good battles in the Med.

2. It is almost imposible to hold both Moscow and London in one game, so my Allied strategy would be to go after Japan where Calcutta and Sydney are more likely.

3. It does not address what the Allies need to do to win seeing as holding all 3 Axis capital is impossible, they will revert to the popular and unimaginative “hold out as long as possible” strategy.

Here is my solution…

@Baron:

@toblerone77:

You could argue for secondary capitals i.e. use victory cities as such. If the major capital is capture as long as a nation holds it’s own VC it can collect 1/2 it’s income. Just a thought.

Good idea!

However, I think that simply the face number of IPCs income from territory will already be very reduce for a capital in exile. I wouldn’t cut in half this meagre resource.

Actually Baron you are right. I think a country should collect all it’s income until ALL it’s originally owned VCs are captured. The US if invaded by a foreign power would not give up. USSR is also a good example.

oldsalty, regarding India and third world I think the problem is best addressed by playing with custom income values (rather than a specific rule)

AARHE don’t adjust it as it intends to be a house rule rather than a variant
even then variant map “AARHE 1939” is not that “pure” and gave India 4 IPC hehe

buy some number chips, Imperious can probably tell you where to get that kind of stuff

You do not need cards just look at the overal forcast at that tiem and put it at those sections or roll “6” winter again

@axis_roll:

Would your Victory city points be the only way to win or another way to win (meaning 10 VC’s is a win regardless of how many points I’ve achieved) ?

I haven’t thought about that.  I guess victory points would be just one way to win… I guess I’d have to test it.
