Italy (Starting Income: 10 IPCs) changed setup
Southern Italy: 6 infantry, 2 AAA, 2 fighter, air base, naval base, minor IC
Northern Italy: 3 infantry, 2 artillery, 0 tank, 2 AAA, 0 strategic bomber, 1 tactical bomber major IC
Albania: 2 infantry, 0 tank, 1 artillery
Libya: 2 infantry, 1 artillery, 1 mechanized infantry
Tobruk: 3 infantry, 1 mechanized infantry, 1 artillery, 1 tank
Italian Somaliland: 1 infantry
Ethiopia: 2 infantry, 1 artillery
SZ 76: 1 submarine
SZ 95: 1 transport, 2 submarine, 1 destroyer, 1 cruiser
SZ 96: 1 transport, 1 destroyer
SZ 97: 1 transport, 1 cruiser, 1 battleship

5 IPCs if Axis control 3 of Gibraltar, Southern France, Greece, and Egypt
5 IPCS if no Allied or strictly neutrals surface warships in SZ 92-99
5 IPCS if Axis control Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Tobruk, and Alexandria
2 IPCs per territory if Italy controls Iraq, Persia, and/or Northwest Persia

reasons? lack of tanks and heavy bombers; many troops on foot and submarines!

Thank you all! Thank for your suggestions, they are very appreciated!
I think i’ll modify the setup adding just one tank in france and at least
infantry in south france. Still don’t know how to do with infantries
and plane in london…but wait…when i’ll finish every set up…
For example: how do you feel about giving a french BB in SZ92 and create
An italian NO if it manages in destroying ALL french ships? For
example 10 ipc one time per game? (Italian regia marina superiority)

P.s. first topic modified

Hi everybody!!

I’m here to present you a project i’m working on that has the purpose to represent a more historical 1940 starting setup.

First of all i’m going to modify FRANCE. It’s just the beginning, as work proceeds i’ll try to  keep it playable and balanced game.

Every suggestions/playtests (if you wanna try this setup) are very very welcome.

Let’s start…

France at the beginning of the war (before Dunquerke) had a lot of infantry in Normandy (english reinforcements, that i’ll treat when i’ll modify England setup) and a lot of tanks (equal in quantity/quality to germans); and a really powerful marine! Suggestions?

Here my changes (in red):

France (Starting Income: 19 IPCs)
France: 6 Infantry, 1 Artillery, 2 Tank,
1 AA, 1 Fighter, Air Base, Major IC
United Kingdom: 1 Infantry, 1 Fighter
Normandy/Bordeaux: 1 Infantry, 1 Artillery, Naval Base, Minor IC
Southern France: 2 Infantry, 1 Artillery,
French West Africa: 1 Infantry
Morocco: 1 Infantry
Algeria: 1 Infantry
Tunisia: 1 Infantry
Syria: 1 Infantry
Sea Zone 72: 0 Destroyer
Sea Zone 83: 1 Destroyer
Sea Zone 94: 1 Battleship, 1 Cruiser
Sea Zone 93: 1 Destroyer
Sea Zone 110: 1 Cruiser

NO:

• When the territory France is liberated, the player controlling France immediately places up to 12 IPCs worth of any French units on the territory France.
  This happens only once per game.
• If the France territory is captured by an axis power, all French warships in SZ94 are treated as strictly neutrals units.

Suggestions?

Next: ITALY

Where is italian eritra? Forgotten??

Nice, maybe i can try this HR! Thanks

Thank you all!

That’s the problem…France resitance in “france territory” doesn’t kill enough german units during first turn…and Germany take its 19 ipcs with minimun losses, to use against Russia or Uk

Hello everybody!

There are some new adjustments for the 2nd edition like alpha+3 for the 1st edition or not? If not, there is the possibility that they are under testing?

I think france deployment isn’t balanced for game purpose…i hope the game’s developers will add 1 or 2 more infantries for siam, and 2 for it’s european territories…
