Japan seems more capable of wiping out China with more land units. I started playing Alpha +.2 last night and my roommate has almost cleared out China.

I think there is a general dogfight and then surviving bombers and tac split up to attack their intended targets. Thus, it would be 2 ftrs, 4 tac, 2 bmrs vs 3 ftrs for 1 round.

Thank you.

We both had prior family engagements, thought I mentioned that in our last email, and Germany was a paper tiger after the sealion bid and all the failed tech rolls. Yes you were pushing India, and I probably would have lost it, but the us fleet was moving and ready to rumble, not to mention ANZAC actually had a BB and a fully loaded AC fleet ready to move! UK had sealed up Africa and Germany had a one layer offensive into Russia (no backup inf on the way). By the way you slipped the +10 IPC for Japan rule into the original Alpha setup when we played. That is part of the improved Alpha i think, Jim and I had never played with the Alpha setup before that so we never noticed.

I still think it would have been close. But I distinctly remembering you folding during the auction due to time after we decided to call it (9 hours of game-play) but I may be wrong.

Also I will send you some links concerning the tactical game I mentioned that we should demo next year at Ellis Con. I have made Terrain and stuff for it over the past few weeks. Its Axis & Allies on steroids.

Advanced Arty would help as well.  However, I don’t think Russia can afford to start rolling TECH unless you use the AA50 token house rule.

Defending carrier planes are always in the air.  This has been true in all A&A games except the Nova version.

I added a few sale items as well.  The code should get you 10% off that price as well on Black Friday.

Enjoy!

“Facilities” Have fire as per the rules of an AA gun if they are strategicly bombed, they fire at bombers only.

@RedHunter:

The reason that Germany wasn’t able to invade England was that England had a fleet blocking the war. Remove the fleet and they can indeed make it across to invade.

Sure, but they were also hell bent on taking out the RAF prior to launching an invasion. The fleet is never really a problem in A&A unlike reality…

Naturally, the RAF would have attacked an invasion fleet without any doubts, which is why Sea Lion was called off.

@calvinhobbesliker:

Yes, the US baited Japan, which is why they left all their Battleships at Pearl Harbor instead of secretly removing them

i don’t believe they did it on purpose, cause it made them incredibly vulnerable. perhaps they did it at phillipines and guam and wake and such, which would surprise me cause of the stiff resistance offered at those places.

Here are the Pics:

The big box is the Plano 3750, the small one is the Plano 3448 (they make 6 and 4 pocket versions, and I use both)

My buddy Todd wrote this up for our website.  I’m copying and pasting here….

* Game: Axis & Allies Europe 1940
    * Players: Joe (Germany & Italy) Todd (Russia & France) Adam (England & United States)
    * Winner: Allies

The game was won by the Allies on Turn 5 when Germany failed to take back Norway from a joint British/American force. Adam left after turn 1 and Todd continued on playing all of the Allies. Italy had taken Egypt and the North African coast by turn 4 and was going to be driving into the Middle East and Germany was at the gates of Moscow and had taken Leningrad. Britain took Norway with a troop and 2 tanks and a huge navy consisting of 2 Aircraft Carriers, 2 Fighters, 2 Tac Bombers, 2 Battleships, 3 Cruisers, 3 Destroyers, 4 Transports. By taking Norway from Germany he lost 5 IPC’s for not getting the Swedish Iron Ore shipment and another 5 IPC’s for not holding all of Poland-Norway-Denmark-Holland/Belgium-and all 3 of the French home territories at once. Including the 3 IPC’s for Norway and the Convoy zone next to Norway that as long as there is no Axis warship present in Sea Zone 125 and Russia controls Archangel and no Allied units in any original Russian territories Russia gets 5 extra IPC’s. That is an 18 IPC swing to the Allies just for holding Norway!!! Britain took Norway on turn 3 and Joe drove ever deeper in Russia and said he would take Norway the next turn and husbanded his forces for an attack on turn 5. But the Americans landed 4 transports full of 4 tanks and 4 Infantry and 2 Fighter planes and a bomber in Norway on turn 4 as well as Britain bringing up more stuff from England and flying up more Fighters to protect the Major Factory that England built in Norway on turn 4 to the AMAZEMENT to the Axis player! Germany was fixated with Norway and built 2 Aircraft Carriers and other units to invade Norway which he lost and Norway still had plenty of forces left and Joe and the Axis capitulated on Turn 5! Joe wishes he had ignored the Allied Norway Gambit and had kept driving on Moscow but the Russians had stopped the southerly and middle drives and just the turn before had driven the Nazi thugs back away from Moscow and had taken Bessarabia and was next to the Minor Factory in Romania that Joe had built. After Italy had taken Egypt and built a minor factory there they had driven deep into Africa and were a couple of turns from threatening the Minor Factory in South Africa. This being the first game we both saw mistakes made by both sides and opportunities for games in the future! The game took from 3 p.m. to around 10 p.m. Brian Favereaux came down late and was going to take the Americans and French but Joe capitulated just before he could play but got to see a lot of the new rules and moves that will certainly help him in his first game this Sunday! A lot of fun was had by all!

Spies are annoying.
