Testing Forum poster

Test summary from TripleA, engine version: 1.9, time: 9:41:33 AM
Savegame

Correct, only UK India may build an IC in West India because that territory belongs to UK India and not UK Europe.  However if UK India is under Axis control and an Axis Power captured West India and, for example, the US retook West India so it was now owned by the US then the US Player would be able to build an IC there.

Personally I have found rolling multiple dice at a time is actually slower than rolling each grouping by itself.

It does not take much time to grab eight dice and roll 1s, then fourteen dice and roll 2s then grab 6 dice and roll 3s.  It is easy to count the number of dice needed to roll and then roll them looking for just one result.  Also many times you can stop halfway through because you have obtained enough hits to eliminate the defender.

Multiple group rolling requires picking up more dice than a typical hand can hold and double and triple checking you have the right number of each dice and then rolling.  The amount of time it takes to then figure out what are hits and what are not, in my opinion, is far greater than what was saved by rolling once versus 2-4 times.

Wow!  A bid of 28!!!  That is amazing.  You say the Allies “may” bid to 28.  Does that mean that lower bids are accepted and the lowest bid is the Allies?  I have sent you a private message - please do send me the Chicago rules.

Our gaming group has recently started playing AA50 again after playing a lot of Global 1940. With lots of gaming experience available now I was curious as to what people think is a fair bid for both the 1941 version and 1942 version. Please assume a dice game with people of equal skill level as we already add a handicap bid against the more experienced players to make it fun and a challenge for everyone.

We play with National Objectives. We play with the Dardanelles closed and Escorts/Interceptors.  Tech is allowed but rarely used. Bids are placed on the board (or money in the bank) as follows:

• Maximum one unit per territory
• Must be a unit already in territory of same Power

My impression is that the Allies need a bid of $9 in both versions to be balanced.

What do you all think?

1941?
1942?

Thank you for your prompt response.

Thank you for the suggestion.  I have posted in the FAQ area per your advice.

Yesterday in a game of Global 1940 2nd Edition (1942 scenario) the British strafed Iraq on UK1 to weaken it so the Russians would have an easier time of taking it on R2.  The question came up as to the political status of Iraq as far as could Italian aircraft now land in Iraq since it had been attacked.  The rules (below) seem to be unclear since at first they say that Iraq “immediately becomes part of the alliance opposing the power that attacked it” and then say that “the territory remains uncontrolled” and is treated like a friendly neutral.

Our take was that if it is still “uncontrolled” then Italian aircraft cannot land there.  We also tested it on TripleA and TripleA would not allow us to land planes there so we agreed that for that one game we would rule they could not but since we know TripleA is not always correct we wanted an official answer for future games.

Thank you in advance for answering our question.

From the Global 1940 Second Edition Rules:
_When a neutral territory is invaded, it is no longer considered neutral and immediately becomes part of the alliance opposing the power that attacked it.

If the attack upon the formerly neutral territory is unsuccessful (the territory is not captured), any remaining defending units stay in the territory but cannot move. The territory remains uncontrolled (place a national control marker on it face down to indicate its new status), but units from the side it is now allied with can move into it and take control of it and its remaining units in the same way as if it were a friendly neutral._

Yesterday in a game of Global 1940 2nd Edition (1942 scenario) the British strafed Iraq on UK1 to weaken it so the Russians would have an easier time of taking it on R2.  The question came up as to the political status of Iraq as far as could Italian aircraft now land in Iraq since it had been attacked.  The rules (below) seem to be unclear since at first they say that Iraq “immediately becomes part of the alliance opposing the power that attacked it” and then say that “the territory remains uncontrolled” and is treated like a friendly neutral.

Our take was that if it is still “uncontrolled” then Italian aircraft cannot land there.  We also tested it on TripleA and TripleA would not allow us to land planes there so we agreed that for that one game we would rule they could not but since we know TripleA is not always correct we wanted an official answer for future games.

Thank you in advance for answering our question.

From the Global 1940 Second Edition Rules:
When a neutral territory is invaded, it is no longer considered neutral and immediately becomes part of the alliance opposing the power that attacked it.
If the attack upon the formerly neutral territory is unsuccessful (the territory is not captured), any remaining defending units stay in the territory but cannot move. The territory remains uncontrolled (place a national control marker on it face down to indicate its new status), but units from the side it is now allied with can move into it and take control of it and its remaining units in the same way as if it were a friendly neutral.

Of course trying to get extra units to defend Western US is really all based on NOT having the extra $30 one-time bonus which is the official rule change.  Without the bonus the best the Allies can do is get the attack down to a 55% chance of success.

With the new One-time Bonus of $30 the easiest thing to do now is simply attack the Japanese landings in British Columbia.

With $49 the US buys 6 artillery and 4 tanks on US2.  When the Japanese land 24 troops in British Columbia, only 1 being a tank, the US has a 92% chance of taking/clearing it.

That, I guess, depends where the Japanese fleet is.  According to the strategy as laid out the Japanese move to SZ14 on J1, SZ8 (Aleutians) on J2 and SZ1 (Canada) on J3.  On US1 the US carrier hides with the US battleship in SZ10, behind a wall of blockers, with 2 planes plus 3 more planes that can scramble (making it very safe from a 6 plane Japanese attack), moves to SZ30 (Johnston) on US2 out of range of the Japanese fighters where the UK and ANZAC fighter subsequently land on it.

If the Japanese Navy is in a different spot they could reach the carrier but that would mean splitting their fleet and exposing one part of it to attack by US, UK and ANZAC forces as part of it must stay with the transports or they will be sunk.
