Thanks for the feedback EdFactor! I don’t like attacking the CC in SZ91, as it seems suicide to me to attack at a 2, when the CC defends at a 3. I’d rather use 3 subs in the SZ109 attack to ensure the Trans death.

JimmyHat, per the Alphat +2 rules and the fact that the FTR in Scotland can’t reach SZ109, you can only scramble 3 FTR’s to the defense of SZ109

SZ106

1 SS from SZ117
1 SS from SZ103

Is 2 subs enough?

SZ109

1 SS from SZ108
1 SS from SZ118
1 SS from SZ124
1 FTR from Holland
1 S. Bmbr from Germany

I know 3 FTR’s from Eng can scramble but this should be enough to kill the fleet in SZ109 even if the FTR’s scramble. If they don’t even better. And I realize that the FTR & S. Bmbr can’t retreat but it should kill the Trans & DD and at least a FTR or two from Eng. Too risky? Is that risking too many planes from Germany? And once the DD dies, then the subs should be safe from further destruction. Or, you can absorb the first round FTR hits on your SS’s since there is a DD present.

SZ112

1 CC, 1BB from SZ113 to SZ112
1 FTR from Norway
1 T. Bmbr from Germany

SZ111

2 FTR’s from W. Germany
2 T. Bmbrs from W. Germany

Close battle as the FTR from Scotland can scramble but I think a necessary one.

Normandy

1 Mech Inf from W. Germany
3 Inf from Holland
2 Art from Holland
1 Tank from Holland

Close battle but I believe you win most of the time.

France

1 Inf from Holland
2 Tanks from Holland
3 Inf from W. Germany
1 Art from W. Germany
3 Mech Inf from W. Germany
1 T. Bmbr from W. Germany
2 Tanks from S. Germany
1 FTR from Hungary
1 T. Bmbr from Poland

Another close, risky battle but I believe you win w/at least one tank most of the time.

All in all a lot of risky close battles but I think all are wins most of the time. Thoughts? Too risky?

Maybe not attack SZ111 and commit those FTR’s & T. Bmbr’s to Normandy & France?

What about just attacking SZ109 w/subs. I thought about this but then you better hit on Turn 1 b/cuz if UK scrambles the FTR’s will kill your sub fleet.

Thanks in advance for everyone’s POSITIVE input!  :-D

I would love to hear your lectures!  :-D

No Skype, sorry. I’ve done this before and it’s worked out ok. Let me know?

I’ll start the thread. However, I should note that I don’t have the electronic map(it’s not working for some reason) but I can keep track on my board at home. Is that ok?

I’ll play either side. Let me know if you’re interested?

I’m interested but I’m not able to get the electronic map working so I’ll be playing w/a regular board. Interested?

How many subs do you recommend attacking SZ106 with? 2 subs or 3 subs? If the answer is 3 subs that leaves only 2 subs to attack SZ109 with, along with one FTR and one S. Bomber. I don’t see any other aircraft that can reach SZ109 on the first turn. Attacking SZ109 w/only 2 subs seems a little light, as the UK can scramble 3 FTR’s to help rescue SZ109. So I’m guessing the best strategy is to attack SZ109 w/3 subs to help absorb casualties, in case the UK player scrambles? And only attack SZ106 w/2 subs? If only Germany had one more sub…

I tried extracting the files to a T40.gim folder and the map is still not showing up. What am I doing wrong?

Can anyone point me to a thread where it talks about good first turn moves for A&A Global 1940? I’m specifically looking for Turn 1 German, Japan and UK first moves. If there are any threads that talk very specifically about what units go to what spaces/SZ’s, that would be greatly appreciated as well. Thanks VERY much in advance!

Does the T40 folder automatically create itself when you download V.080?

Can someone help me with this? I downloaded V.80 Alpha 1. I can get the map to show, which lists all the A&A games, included Pacific 1940 but I can’t see the Global game(Alpha +2) in the list. What am I doing wrong? Can someone walk me through step by step what I need to do to play? I’d really like to get started playing online. Thanks VERY much in advance! =)

Where is the setup chart for UK Pacific and where is the UK setup for UK Europe?

What does OOB mean?

Gargantua was kidding…

I have played this game before. It’s awesome!

I can’t get the A&A Global map to appear in the New drop down window when I launch the Battlemap. I can see the A&A Pacific version, along with all the other versions but the A&A Global map options does not appear. Can someone help? Thanks!

Stoney, yes. Whatever players are using to play A&A Europe 1940 and A&A Global online. That is the battlemap I’m looking for. For whatever reason, I’d followed the instructions and can’t get it to load. Can you walk me through the step by step process to get it installed? Thanks VERY much in advance!

Stoney/Anyone - Can someone walk me through the step by step process for installing A&A Europe 1940 battlemap? I’ve played A&A using the battlemaps before but for some reason the install isn’t working for A&A Europe 1940. I’d rather just do a fresh install. So, if you can walk me through that process, I’d greatly appreciate it! Thanks!
