In my limited experience playing as the Germans the Airbourne attack into Norway is a standard. Send a Fighter to support and the risk is basically eliminated. Then you can use the AB troops and Transports later for N.Africa or the Eastern Front and shuffle more regular Inf into Norway.
So I’m with you on this one.
@Private-Panic
Pencil me in for this buddy.
Does no one fancy Global 1940 at this event?
@cdatkins74
Yeah I’m inclined to agree too. I was just curious how other people were interpreting the rule.
In the rules for the Maginot Line it say it “gives all defending land units +3 on the first round of combat…”
Given that AA guns are land units, do they also get this bonus?
@cdatkins74
I had forgotten about the Blackshirts. Good point.
I was looking at something to prompt them to actually enter the war so that the Italian player didnt game the system and wait till the end of the game to declare war.
How would you work the mechanics for your Fleet idea?
Has anyone got any house rules or ideas for Italian Special Abilities?
They seem to be the only power that has no special rules at all. Even the two China’s have their own Nation Specific rules.
I was think maybe something like these…
•Fear of Missing Out.
In anticipation of a short war Mussolini declared war on the W.Allies in order to Guarantee Italy’s seat at the negotiating table. Italy receives a one time D6+4 IPP the turn it declares war on the Western Allies as long as it declares war before Jan 1941. If it fails to do so it may not gain any VPs for “Expand the Empire”.
•Unreliable Armour.
Due to Italian industry’s inexperience with Tank design Italianarmour proved unreliable. Any Medium or Heavy Armour that rolls a 11-12 to attack must withdraw to the territory it attacked from. Amphibious attacking armour must be abandoned unless the battle is won.
Be interested to hear if anyone else has any ideas or thoughts.
@Wittmann I will certainly try, though I’m at a wedding the 19th of Oct so will struggle to make the 20th. But I can probably make it in Jan.
Thanks for the Invite. As soon as I get a gaming room setup you guys are welcome to come over and play.
@Private-Panic
Thanks for the update. Let me know how the games and extension goes.
Is the Commintern allowed to invade Mongolia after 1939?
@GeneralHandGrenade
Thanks. I didnt see that the Netherlands were an Allied Nation. I thought they acted as a Neutral Nation until they were Alignedxas per the normal Alignment.
@GeneralHandGrenade @Rank-Carcass
I tag you guys in this because I’ve seen your videos and you guys seem to have a handle on things.
Thoughts?
Also keep up the good work.
If playing with the Netherlands Fights Back expansion, what happens if an Allied player, say the UK or France pays the IPP penalty and attacks the Netherlands?
Do they join the Axis? If so, how does that effect Japan and the DEI? Which Nation Player Controls the Netherlands?
Hey Man,
Good to hear from you. Around what times (quaterly) do you play in Derbyshire? I take it it’s a weekend thing. Is it a set group of weekends every year?
What other games do you play?
What version of Global 36 do you have? Is it the big HBG version? Would be great if you could enquire with your mate. I’m only a quick train ride outside Manchester. Roughly where abouts in Manchester is it?
Cheers.
