It’d take more than that to stop Norway.

chased by one Norwegian”  :lol:

@Topmat:

I just wanted to say Thank You to all the administers and all the moderaters that put time and money into the forum for all of us to enjoy. Y’all work hard to respond and reply to our posts with quality answers. It is you who make a forum possible. THANK YOU!!! 8-)

Well Said ! :)

That’s ok. It’s a global 40 question and you’re in global 40 : ) Some may disagree but I wouldn’t sweat it : )

You are correct in your assumption (either that or we’re both wrong heh heh). Do you have any examples of posts that imply otherwise ?

Sweet

Thanks

So looked like an email will be sent requesting shipping info ? Didn’t want to make the account thing.

Far Out ! As they say in the restaurant business " Order Up " : )

does the “Special Edition” include the “Jumbo Map” ?

Right on. I’ll move the tac to the prairies. Think I’ll hold off on giving an extra buck to Toronto for now. Probably will be just fine to do though. Gave The Yukon a buck in case Japan takes AK. A minor bonus if the Allies are screwing up. Also they built the ALCAN and shuttled Lend Lease planes through there.

Gonna give UK two inf as well. Pretty sure there were some Canadians over there in 1940. I think that’s when Dieppe went down. I’m gonna start a play test in a couple hours for the next update. The split income probably makes UK pretty susceptible to sea lion.

Just have to playtest stuff out to find a semblance of balance. For now it’s just cool having Canada in there. The map looks sweet : ) Thanks again simon.

yea as Baron says if they survive they’ll be there to defend without having to bring another trprt in ncm just to land them. Since a lot of counterattacks are inf/air, they’re nice to have along, but at the cost of not adding to the attack.

The reason for the blitz ability is tanks and mechs w/tanks can blitz so it seemed that the arty should be able to as well. Makes the blitz a lot more powerful. Although you could always bring them up in ncm to reinforce so they can still stay with the overall force. Just my preference.

Idk if you’re familiar with triplea but it has a mod that uses the new units. “Global 40 house Rules”. It’s in the “Redesign Thread” here in House Rules. The notes are in code form so can’t really post them here.

Another unit I really like is the “Escort CV”. C9 A0 D1 M2 +1 w/NB. Can carry 1 ftr or Tac. Has DD sub blocking abilities.

yea Idk how to do map graphics. I’ll look into seeing if it can have some sorta icon show up to represent the connection. Not sure if one can trigger a TT connection or not though.

Actually triggering a canal might work. Not sure if you can do that either though.

Yea i bid a couple French guys one time. They got slayed but was one more thing Japan had to deal with.

Hi RebHot

Baron helped me crunch the numbers on ( I call it “mobile artillery” ) and he made a good argument that tank purchases could be adversely affected. So we came up with:

C5 A2 D2 +1 when paired 1:1 with tank M2 gives +1 A to infantry/mech infantry at 1:1. Also can blitz but gives no blitz ability to any units.

I’ve found it to work pretty good as you definitely want to pair them up with tanks and use mech inf as your fodder. Makes for a nice mobile force.

I also Have “Close Air Support” where Tac Bmbrs give +1 A to inf/mech. It really promotes Tac buys but fighters are still popular for air fodder and the big D4. Plus they still boost the Tac. I find it fun anyway.

Changed AAGuns to C4 A0 D1 M1 can fire at up to Two Air Units. Can take undefended territory. Can Amphib attack. Promotes their being purchased a lot more. It’s good have one with a small group of blockers. Makes using the Tac in the infantry support role a little more risky.

Got a pile more but will leave it at that for now : )

heh heh :)

not ideal is right :)

for some reason my solo strategy always ends up with me wanting whoever is attacking to win :)

yea I think in BM they made it so you can’t move into original Russian TTs without being at war with them. Seems like a good fix

I’d buy whichever one was in front of me.  :-D

Just saw that. The Sullivan Brother’s ship found on St Patrick’s Day. Too awesome. Thanks CWO.

Here’s another read on it:

Hi Weather

In short, because it works. : ) Here’s the strategy guide for it :

https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=26960.0

strategies may have changed but this should still be viable imo. Personally I usually go two but…:)

Germany would allow you to scramble 6 against a british attack if US took out Denmark and Germany felt the scramble to support the Danish invasion would fail.

Idk. I’d probably just buy dudes instead but could see it’s advantages. Maybe after you whack moscow and are cash heavy and facing heavy allied pressure in the west

Or MIC and mic but then you might end up with k-e-y going through your head :)

@Topmat:

???

heh heh Canada been winning them all. : ) Nice to see the USA ladies get one. I like watching them. Good games almost every time. : )
