Global 1940, Russian movable factories

@chrisbump86 Does the attacker have to declare on their combat move which territory or sz they wish to continue to if they succeed w/o taking a casualty?Can they split their forces and go to multiple territories or sz?Can they return to another friendly spot or even to where they attacked from?Would a matter if the attacker needed more than 2,3 or more combat rounds to kill the defender?
If we playtest,these kind of questions are likely to come up.

@Trout

In response to our Game 11 with Trout. I will add some shots and a few comments.

We didn’t use Type XXI U-boats, otherwise, all options were on.
Trout played a strong game and even though the SSR was strong, they couldn’t really do much offensively.

The Naval loss at GIB in 91 and then Morroco, where I missed on the TakeOver, really slowed up Uncle Sam in the European Theatre.

And once again, Tommy didn’t see SeaLion coming and was conquered. This was a Late Game SL, so a much more impressive victory.

Congratulations to Trout on a well earned Victory !

They would withdraw to 88 SZ

Air would land in Morocco and be reinforced by the British.

Germany, with previous controlled Italian Units, would destroy them.

Should Russia only be aloud to build in a territory with 2 factories. In our game we have Russia can move 1 factory per turn. They also have a NA where they can move 2 factories 1 time in game. The scenario is in game you can only build up to territory value only.

So if Russia has 2 factories in a territory worth 2 they can build 4 units. Based on time from 1942 and later this also helps if Moscow falls and the Russians can build in the Urals to hold Stalingrad and maybe take back Moscow.

Most other games have Minors building 5 units so this should be a go.
Our game is you can’t just drop a major or minor factory on a territory and build 5 or 10 pieces. You can buy a minor IC ( only in game ) at any time but must territories only worth 1.

As you see 2 IC in same territory. One is a Tankograd IC.
The Russian figs in Stalingrad are from them retreating in Moscow battle.

I have found the use of submarines in Global pretty underwhelming. While the Axis don’t need any help in the OOB game, I did want something that would provide the desired flavor, within the scope of A&A (and understandably balanced by some benefit to the Allies).

German Submarines (U-boats)
Cost: 7
Attack: 2
Defense: 1
Move: 2
Unit Characteristics
German submarines, commonly known as u-boats, benefited over their opponents with advanced tactics. Except the characteristics above and where mentioned below, they are treated as submarines for all other purposes, including Surprise Strike, Submersible, On Station, Treat Hostile Sea Zones as Friendly, Doesn’t Block Enemy Movement, Can’t Hit Air Units, and Can’t Be Hit by Air Units.
Limited Nationality: Only Germany can purchase German submarines.
Wolf Pack: German submarines can be combined with other German submarines. A matched pair of two German submarines increases the attack value of both submarines from 2 to 3.
Condor Spotting: Strategic bombers can be combined with German submarines. A matched pair of a strategic bomber and a German submarine increases the submarine’s attack value from 2 to 3.

@Code_Name_Bob No, they cannot.

Some good ideas here. A few things I’ve done were to have bmbrs hit at 3 unless paired with a ftr. Makes taking solo blockers out more risky and unless used with carrier aircraft, not as powerful with the big range they have.

Also give tacs +1 when paired with inf the same way artillery does. Makes them a lot more popular in my test games.

None of the Prices change. The ftr still has the big hit on D and can boost the bmbr. Also still the cheapest for fodder. Tac boosting the inf is really nice for small counterattacks and is somewhat realistic as well.

So some minor changes but makes for a more balanced air buy as opposed to just going huge with bmbrs imo.

What could be unbalancing is UK putting a minor in Egypt (and/or Iraq) UK1, even with a sealion feign UK could still put a minor in Iraq or Egypt with little to no repercussions.
If Germany doesn’t threaten Sealion (Or DOW Russia) G1, UK could put a minor in both Egypt and Iraq and an Airbase in Egypt, and still plop a couple INF in UK or India. (Sounds powerful)

The thing is, in G40 enhanced this rule change is along with adding all of Canada and the 2 South African territories to ANZAC (creating the Common Wealth Dominions).
This takes away some UK income (10IPCs), thus reducing the impact of a single UK economy, thus reducing the overall impact on game balance.

Would just need testing.
And speaking of, im looking at some time off work coming up, and will be testing alot of G40 enhanced out.
And A F2F game during thanksgiving, in which id like to play atleast a preliminary version of G40 enhanced.

I like this! Perhaps $1 for 102,3,8 as well?
