Oztea's 1939 Global Setup

@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)

@Blackychan

From the Europe 1940 Second Edition rulebook, Page 15, bluebox “Powers Not at War with One Another”:

“Neutral Powers: When a power is not at war with
anyone, it is neutral. Powers that begin the game
neutral, such as the United States and the Soviet
Union, aren’t initially part of the Allies or the Axis.
The Axis powers are on the opposite side of these
neutral powers, but they are not yet considered
enemies. While a power remains neutral, it operates under even tighter restrictions. A neutral power
can’t move land or air units into or through neutral
territories. It can’t move units into or through territories or onto ships belonging to another power or
use another power’s naval bases, nor can another
power move land or air units into or through its territories or onto its ships or use its naval bases.”

Oztea’s 1939 rules are generally built upon these mechanics.

Update:

I just remembered that to simulate the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, there are some pro-Axis and pro-Allied territories that the Soviet Union can march into before they’re at war. In those cases, I agree with Barnee that the bonus applies.

Sorry for forgetting and misunderstanding.

@SuperbattleshipYamato I mean you can also just declare war with Japan

@barnee mine too but the group wanted @oztea to clarify just in case and I was saying they do.
