    • RE: Italy a bad design

      Ah yes, AAG40 is hours old.  Some games started, FEW game actually finished to completion, and already the ‘I declare it is broken because I am so smart and can predict the future’ claim has started. :roll:

    • RE: Is that French aircraft carrier ever going to actually be built?

      rhesusman, welcome to the forum.

      People have had some wild long games with past A&A titles.  I have heard of games with only US and Japan left as powers. Anything is possible.
      In late game (depending on the turn order), France might buy an AC for other Allied Fighters to ‘land’ on. Everything is dependant on the situation.

      UN Spacy, at least let new members have 50 posts before you get mean and chase them away.

    • RE: French and Italian outlying territories … after their capital falls

      Look at rule book page 20. If you made a combat move into the tt(territory) and won, it is yours. If it was French to start with, then there was no combat move into the tt, and is still French. Liberate France if you want to collect income from it. The dutch are not a power, and are a different deal.

      Next time, keep the UK honest by purchasing a transport and have your 2trn & planes ready to take London on G2. If UK protects against a London takeover, Italy will have their fleet. Then use German 2trn to get units to Russia faster.  Everything is a trade off though. Nothing easy or for free in A&A. :)

      Go watch Star Wars, and then answer that question in 2 hours.

    • RE: A few questions/issues relating to first Global game

      I learned the move from Don Rae’s assays. It was a move to get UK units into Russia’s capital, to help Russia live more rounds. To do it UK needed to send a unit there early in the game. Of course that meant weakening an already weak UK position somewhere else. Cause and effect. Nothing for free in A&A. :)

      @Seven_Patch:

      @Krieghund:

      @13thguardsriflediv:

      Is it legal to use units from Southern Germany and one from Romania to ‘fake attack’ Yugoslavia for one round, disengage and move the stack to Romania?

      Yes.  This is known as a “strafing attack”.

      I’m surprised this is a rule.  It boils down to Infantry get to move more than 1 space a turn on land.  Not for me.

      This move has been done since the 1980’s.(A&A Classic)

      Bob, Could you change the German/land unit in Egypt NO to 3ipc instead of 5ipc?

    • RE: E40 and G40 ABattlemap modules preview

      @bugoo:

      I’ll add my votes for the following

      1. All NOs in a singular location for each nation near there capital.
      2. No auto for any NOs.  If half are not auto then it will just mess people up in my opinion

      I chance my vote from NO’s in one location to #2 above. Good idea bugoo (or whoever gets the credit).

      I also agreed with #3 above.

      I’m officially not supposed to have it yet…  :-D

      But, having now seen AA Global 1940 set up: holy guacamole! :-P

      boboshonda
      Got it on 8/20
      I’m in Illinois
      Shipped to my house from online vendor.

      Got the last one at a game store in the Twin Cities last night! Drove like a half hour (on the other side of town)  Really awesome looking set-up.  Still chincy with the tokens for AA, Industrial, Airbase & Naval base, but the card stock was a little heavier with cap on both sides instead of bare cardboard backed like Pacific was…

      Will be playing my first global game tonight with friends!

      Gahh!  I’m in Ontario and I called my game store to see if they had it early and they did…but someone snagged the copy before I could get it.

      I got mine today… Monday August 23rd.

      I live in the Western US Territory of the game

      I picked it up at a local game store for 72 bucks.  In retrospect I’m soooo glad I didnt preorder online!

      On Monday Aug 23 the game store called and said my copy was in, with a note saying ‘go ahead and release it’. I only had time to glance at the rulebook. I live in Central United States territory. Originally, the game store said it would come in on Thursday the 26th. Things changed.

      I got mine on Monday afternoon. Called about 10 stores in a 30 mile radius that carry AA games (from AH site). From the calls I made I found out it was it was being shipped Fed-ex, and finely one said yeah we got it. It was a 30 mile trek from my house, but I got it home about 4:00 Monday afternoon. Set up both games on my pool-table, and it looks awesome. I play hockey Monday night, so didn’t get to start a game until I got home at about 11:00 that night. We played till about 4:00 am, and only got through 2 rounds. Both sides made some mistakes, so I think we may call it a practice game and start a new one tonight after work.

      Purchased mine today, 8/24 at local hobby shop in Central U.S… They have 3 more available along with 2 aap40. setting up board now,will be playing this weekend. Good Luck!

      Picked up my copy from the local game store today.  Twas excellent.  Only sad thing is that I’m going to have to wait until AABattlemap comes out with a Global or Europe/Pacific combo map, as I appear to have emigrated to the far end of the universe here in Lubbock, TX.  (That or wait for TripleA.)

      Things I Have Noticed From Opening Up AAE40:

      The Russian battleship looks really retarted coming out of the bag (imagine a battleship with a big smokestack in the middle of it).

      There are no French infantry pieces with their hands held up in surrender.

      The German aircraft carriers look hella sexy compared to the US and UK ones.

      Germany’s artillery still looks just like an AA gun (stupid 88s, those WERE anti-aircraft guns with their barrels lowered to the ground!)

      Japan comes with WAYYYY too many units (compared to the other sides) for its theater.  Game Balance, Game Shlamance!

      UK’s rondels for both the European and Pacific theaters are EXACTLY the same (good luck putting the right rondels back into the right box!)

      The European US and France players share the same box (guess you’re not supposed to split up the French player with the UK).

      Further postings as events warrant!

      Local store, I reserved it a couple weeks in advance. It’s sad, there was a giant pile of untouched Europe 1940s and the employee got all excited when I decided to buy one. I don’t think anyone else bought one…:(

      The rulebook sayes that we purchase die/dice. There is nothing about tokens.

    • RE: Anzac tech?

      All powers may roll for technology. China will only benefit from advanced artillery, if they have it. If China acquires an AA gun then that would be 2 other techs, rockets and radar. It sucks that the research token way is gone. In global we buy research dice, meaning if you lose, your money is gone.

    • RE: Taking France - what do you use?

      Because Germany did not take France, things went badly. Italy taking France puts the money in the wrong place. Taking Normandy on turn two is fine vs not taking France on G1.

      I had the same problem not taking France last Saturday. Next time I will leave Normandy untouched on G1 and put those units into taking France instead.
