Oztea's 1939 Global Setup

First of all: great job!

Then I would like to have USA entry to war clarified in more detail.

Notes say
“USA cannot go to war against the Axis until the beginning of PU collect phase of USA 5, unless of course an Axis power attacks it first.”

We assume that “or London has fallen” should be added.

But how about Japan declaring war to dutch; does it bring usa or uk into war?

Thanks in advance for answering

@chaptim I’ll update the notes for the London fallen. Yea seems as if Japan attacks the Dutch it should be game on. I’ll change that too.

Sorry for screwing up your game. Triplea bots don’t always use the latest. 1.94 is the latest.

Welcome back Barnee.

@chaptim Updated to version 1.95. Triplea will not notify you of the update, so just uninstall and reinstall. Under Experimental.

Change Log:
1.95
Clarify USA Declaration of War. Add version notification. Add notification for Italian combat.

Edit

Just remembered something. Hold off for a bit.

Good to go now.

Change Log:
1.96
When “Charles de Gaulle Neutrals Modified” is activated, Mongolia will now turn Russian when attacked by Japan.

Have been playing the 39 setup for a while now on TripleA but I would love to see the map printed out same size as global 40. Is there a map file out there for oztea´s 39 setup which I can print? Or is it possible to extract the mapfile from TripleA itself?

Italy declares war to UK, but Paris does not fall for rounds - is the restriction for Italy able to attack only empty UK territories cancelled at any time?

@oztea

I was looking through this thread, and I realized it wasn’t clear at all:

Can the Western Allies (UK, ANZAC, France) declare war on Italy on the first turn? Thank you!

@oztea

Yes, I understand. Thank you so, so much!!!

@oztea we are trying this version new. I’ve done some playing over Triple A and it seems a lot of fun.

Something’s I did have questions about.

If France pulls out of Paris turn 1 into Normandy it becomes a power struggle for germany just curious if you knew anything for this? Was is pulling german troops back to western Germany?

Also can the Germans take the Baltic states turn 1 without issue. Because it could cause problems with the Germans easily blitzing Novgorod.

Any ideas and tips?

After playing a few games I have come to find it is heavy into the Allie’s. Just the number of IPCs they make and no unit restrictions is almost impossible to deal with. Anyone got suggestions on how the axis win?

@oztea is there a final version of the rules? Is the game balanced or allied advantage?

Does the bonus that Japan gets when you own Korea and all original Chinese territories have at least 1 unit include Manchuria, Jehol, Shantung, and Kiangsu? Because my brother and I were wondering if the “Chinese” territories are included in the bonus. This game variant is great btw!

@RIPSwissair

I would assume so, since they’re designated by the game as original Chinese territories.

@SuperbattleshipYamato
ok thanks!

@oztea does Russia still get the bonus for the 1 ipcs for pro axis pro allies and neutral when not at war

@Blackychan

I don’t think that matters, since when you’re not at war you cannot take over neutrals of any kind, friendly, unfriendly, or strict.

@SuperbattleshipYamato I thought you could? Where in the rules does it say that? In triple A you can

@Blackychan said in Oztea's 1939 Global Setup:

@oztea does Russia still get the bonus for the 1 ipcs for pro axis pro allies and neutral when not at war

my understanding is that it does. It doesn’t say they don’t.

Spread of Communism
1 IPC for each Soviet control marker placed on any Axis, Pro-Axis, Pro-Allied, or Neutral territory. (Including Mongolia)
