setup, rules? gimme!

in the new alpha rules, things are as you desire ^^
there, you can only build major IC’s on territories that belong only to your nation (so japan is only country that can place on Korea, germany only on romania, netherlands, slovakia and norway, etc.)
the minor IC’s can still be placed anywhere that’s worth 2 and isn’t an island.

kill all british navy G1!
are yopu playing regular games, or with updated setup and such?

or there’ll be a side map o the western front you have to buy for infinite euro’s…

to be honest; the map is total crap for WW1
it should be more like NWO-sized
thinking about which, that would make a perfect WW1map.

we don’t play with Victory cities, as we have never done.
Russia can be making into 50 IPC if they have installed well into slovakia
the US lands in a chain between canada and ireland (a direct push to retake England has never worked for us)
perhaps they can build IC in brazil, and support remaining allied forces in africa.
play evasive in the pacific

i know it’s very hard, but the key lays in japan being halted for a few rounds (allies attack B2 to have all objectives) and germany losing a lot of forces in england, and keep producing there to keep the territory.

any people who keep on playing and don’t mind VC’s?
i see that most of the times axis win, even with US in the pacific.

i once sended german baltic fleet into the Med, causing germany to have a small africa corps (had around 4 inf at egypt i think)
a german africa corps is of little value; they can’t take new territories (usually already taken by italy) and consolidating italian tts can be done with luftwaffe.

@theROCmonster:

If you attack G3 you won’t have any tanks left but 1. I don’t see how attacking R3 doesn’t result in the loss of most of Germany’s air power, plus the loss of 5 out of 6 tanks sent to london for the attack. I just let Russia have a bunch of territories in Germany and take london for the loss of much less units. You can always threaten a G3 attack on london and get russia to place a lot of units on their boarder with germany on Russia R2. Then on Germany R3 attack Russia’s units instead and go ahead with a R4 sea lion.

hehe, i have on average bout 8 tanks, all planes (except the ones lost at AA gun of course) and most likely some airplanes
i attack with 26 männer, brits have bit less i think and i can have a lot more fighters and such.

if you take england G3, the tanks can be moved back to germany/poland, just in time so russians won’t advance too much (they’ll be making near 50 probably…)

by the time the US has a fleet that dares to match japan, india, DEI and china with large part of siberia are already taken; not levelling but closing in on US ipc’s…

@Alsch91:

If you ask me, that’s not worth Italy being weakened significantly by the survival of the 110 fleet.
A dedicated UK/US effort to remove those subs will prevent them from doing much more than ~2-3 rounds of raiding anyway.

A UK\US effort? if the convoy raids prevent even a few infantry from being built on London before sealion, than they have done their job, and then the UK won’t have a war effort at all. If sealion is not in the Axis strategy, than I agree to hit 110 and not 109.

kill al the fleets…
and do sealion ^^

what’s so great bout diplomacy?

and what version of the game are you playing?

@Clyde85:

@Frontovik:

what does everybody think of the russian civil war?

Its an intresting time period, lot of colorful charaters like Gen. Kornilov and Admiral Kolchack. There was a great book I read called “Red Victory” which was a rather complete history of all sides and forces involved

http://www.amazon.com/Red-Victory-History-Russian-1918-1921/dp/0306809095

if anyone is intrested in checking it out, link is above. A bit long but well worth the read.

superb! just what i needed! really really thank you!

@Boyardee:

Hi,
I have the two 1940 games.� �
As global demand a lot of time to play, we usually play only Europe or Pacific.� �
I know that Mr. Harris put great effort in adjusting the global game, but i think that the people that play only on one theater are lacking support.� �
Can we see somewhere the clear rules for playing europe?
What are exactly the income of the russian?� � US with NO? etc.
Please help.

Alpha rules are being finalized for Global, and hopefully will address theatre specific rules as well (this was the original intent of the changes starting way back with Pac1940, hopefully this hasn’t been forgotten).

In the mean time, the best that can be done is sort of an amalgumation of alpha 3 and some adjustment (the following is the best of my knowledge and memory based on comments from LH & Krieg when addressing this question - this is NOT official by any means, but I tried to post what I believe is the current intent).

In Europe 1940:
Use alpha+3 setup and rule revisions.
Omit Anzac units from Egypt completely - do not replace with any other unit.
Use alpha 3 national objectives

• omit US NOs 2 & 4, and ignore Pacific board territories when calculating NO 1 and NO 3.
• Russia will collect an additional 9 IPCs each and every turn (this represents territories from the Pac board and replaces the free siberian units from OOB)

In Pac1940:
Use alpha+3 setup and rule revisions.
Use alpha +3 objectives (however, it is quite possible that US should use OOB NOs - especially replacing 1, 2, 3 & 5 with the wartime bump objective of west US to 50 - or, if using � 1, 2, 3 & 5, perhaps increase the bonus of 1 by ~ 15 to 20 to represent some income lost from the Europe side). � All US objectives apply only at war (even OOB, if not using Alpha 3 objectives) �

US objectives are speculation on my part, because I’ve never seen this addressed post Alpha 1. However, because they’ve changed the most due to the Global balance but haven’t been back tested to theater only, especially in the Pacific where they were decentralized in Alpha 3, I can only assume that balance is currently lost in Pac1940 due to US objective revisions. � unit setup and rules should be more or less right as they haven’t changed extensively since the final Alpha for Pacific prior to the Alpha+ global mods.

the 2 anzac inf on egypt are supposed to be changed to 1 british inf i thought
i’ve read it somewhere.

but back to world war 1.
or even better; what does everybody think of the russian civil war?

you have 1 transport at start, czn build atleast 9 morve G2 and on G1 there’s room for 2 and AC
(alpha 2 atleast)
you can also land in scotland G2 with few transports, just unloading inf. or attack G4 after landing with all transports in scotland first (not that advisable)

why can’t i copy?
it’s not like i’m a pro, i just use black markers, too much free time, a large avaible cartboard and pieces from G40 :P
and of course, KISS-rules

ah, with me it’s bit other way. the first round there are many small naval battles, especially in med. ottoman, austrian and german fleet(subs) chosing to kill which navies; warships or convoys(transports), and where and from which country etc.
