Hello from Canada!

Depending on work and event timing next year my buddy and I are interested in joining!

We’ve mostly been playing OOB G40, both on Triple A and in person. We’ve trialed a few house rules but nothing compared to this expander rule set - looking forward to learning.

@barnee

Thank you. I’ll take a look at playing on Triple A to learn the rules first before I get too distracted with making all the extra units for the table top!

@The-Captain

Thanks for the heads up, I’ll keep an eye out to see if any Wiking-Con events pop-up.

From my quick search, I don’t see any upcoming ones (but am also new to the forum).

@Panzerstahl-Helm All good, is there a way to hop between map versions? I see that I’m 2.44.0 but don’t see an option to update or redownload the map?

I will elect to scramble the 1 fighter from Scottland to SZ111.

I will elect to not scramble anything into SZ110

Thanks for setting this up and good luck!

Thank you - looks like that did the trick!

Hi all, just getting ready to try my first game with the HRE (limiting to just the first two new sections to start) and had the following two questions (apologies if these are very basic):

1. Para troopers - interaction with flying/AAA units:

• I understand that a defender cannot scramble to defend against paratroopers.
• I understand that AAA can fire a defensive shot at the first round of combat at paratroopers (similar to any attacking aircraft).
• What happens if I am attacking with both aircraft and AAA? Do I (attacker) or my opponent (defender) get any say over if the casualties are the paratroopers or the planes? I assume that as the attacker I would be the one picking my own casualties as typical.
  — For example: attacking with 3 paratroopers, 3 fighters; defending with 1 infantry, 1 AAA. AAA is hot and gets 3/3 hits. Looking to confirm that the defender cannot allocate all the hits to the paratroopers and thus stopping the loss of territory. (I’m only asking due to a case of attempting to use kamikaze rolls against USA transports in the OOB rules a few games ago.)

2. Expanded pacific ocean - revised IPC values for territories:

• When do these come into effect/totals get adjusted?
  — The note states that all nations begin with their normal IPCs and that when the territories are captured income is adjusted based off the new values.
  ------ Does that mean income is only changed when territory exchanges hands? Immediately in the round 1 collect income phase (just not for the starting balance/first turn purchase)? Or all are effective after the first of these territories is affected and war is thus been declared)?
