[Global 1940] France Goes First Idea

@FranceNeedsMorePower

That’s a better idea, especially since Japan is usually somewhat stretched to the limits on their declaration of war on the US.

I use them in my game but not G40. Have tweaked them over the years. You roll for 2 each country and use whole game. If you want I can post my chart.

@general-6-stars Yes, I would like to see that.

@Axisarmpit said in [Global 1940] HELP PLEASE Axis and Allies Global Impasse:

Im not blitzing through a territory with infrastructure, but I am entering a territory with infrastructure as part of my non contact move. Lots of gamers agree variations on their understanding of particular rules?

Right. I understood you were not blitzing. I was using that as an example of logic. Please let me explain.

In your explanation of your House Rule you said “…a non combat movement can take the form of an advance into empty enemy territory…”. Your question then is a territory containing infrastructure empty or not? Therefore:

An armor unit may blitz through empty enemy territories An armor unit may not blitz through a territory containing infrastructure Thus a territory containing infrastructure is not empty

Of course it is your House Rule so you can do anything you want but if you want to follow the logic of the game I would say you cannot advance into an enemy territory containing infrastructure during the Non-combat Phase.

Some very excellent ideas here, thanks General for pointing me to this section!

Here is the chart for special units we use. Note that most have a limit that can be on the board at one time. Most come from AA 1941, with the German Mech. Artillery being from Historical Board Gaming.

Atomic Bomb- Each Atomic Bombs costs 10 IPC and only one can be made each turn. When dropped no AA roll is made. Effects: 3 dice of variable damage and one die of permanent damage. The first turn this can be developed is turn 7. Prerequisite: Heavy Bombers technology.

3 dice reduce the income of the player, and a 4th die is permanent reduction. If you A-bomb Germany and roll a 4, the German player gets only 6 IPC from it for the rest of the game and can only place 6 units.  You cant get it until turn 7 ( really not possible anyway unless you roll perfectly) and aa guns get no roll against the bomber. Also, you can only drop one per turn.

According to the rules it is a 5th tier technology which requires you to have 4 other technologies in the same category and one of them must be Heavy Bombers.

If you calculate the odds of getting it more or less it may appear on about turn 12-15 as long as you always have a researcher in that category working on it. Most games are over by that time.
