Looking at kicking this game up. Thinking of having some kind of victory condition based on a number of cities you control. And more stuff added. Just starting out.
This is Il’s map but redesigning it to a advanced game maybe.
Seeing if yellow brown for cities better than the red.
Just checkin to see how it looks so far.
Looks a bit different here compared to my screen. Ha
Rule says if infantry are destroyed or transported ( assuming they moved too on ground ) the fortification is destroyed.
As maybe a few know this but in my game when Calcutta falls you roll for each territory in India for free India ( Vichy ) and Fec.
You don’t roll for Bombay because that becomes a main headquarters for Fec.
My question is based on history were the free India looking for control of the pacific islands , Ceylon and Maldives ?
Also will be using the Vice Joy country roundel for India.
If not then we just roll for strictly India on land.
And looking at also Ceylon and Maldives since it’s close.
Haven’t found any history talk about islands yet.
Midnight maybe u got some info ?
@johnson73 said in Combat Miniatures now sells BBR:
@general-6-stars BBR V. Most Recent.
Ya I know. Have version 2,4 and 5 lol
Kind a an update on new map. Not set on land texture but maybe. Sea zones done with some minor high lights probably.
WTF You testing Captains stuff right ? OK.
Here’s an idea. Since Ger wolf packs get a bonus or some have less cost and I’m thinking of not adding another ship to game is for every 3 destroyers they get to roll an extra dice. Be first round only against only subs.
This would represent escorts in game.
So in my game subs can dive on first round if they survive a Tac bomber first strike hit and just destroyers attacking and in my game destroyers each get a depth charge drop.
So say 3 US destroyers attacking 2 German subs in a convoy box. Subs dive then the 3 destroyers would roll 4 dice instead of 3 and attack @3. This would represent a escort in the anti sub attack. Roll only first round.
Keep in mind the destroyer also gets a ship shot if there’s other surface ships in a battle to
but the 1 bonus dice is just against subs.
OK. I’ll see what I can do. Thanks

@general-6-stars
We experienced - playing your game - that Germany easily gets crowded - and so do also a few other Key Terrirories on the Eastern Front.Also a few Atlantic Sea Zones can easily get crowded.
What are your own experiences?
Pretty much crowed in Europe for Germany and Russia some.
Did try to make the territories around Moscow bigger based volume of pieces in my game gonna be mostly avoidable. Moscow even have to chip up…
I tried making Europe bigger but then it throws everything off in Med and Middle East.
Best option take away a territory to make 2 to 1 would change the game to much.
What sea zones you referring too ?
Ya Captain. I’m just making a newer map for my game that won’t be as dark as the last one.
Removing some territories from 2 to 1.
So game play doesn’t change based on 4 years now.
Colors probably going to be lighter one way or the other and may put back the old strict neutral color instead of each having own color.
Wider territory and sea zone borders
@imperious-leader said in General 6 Stars 1941 Global War Game:
@general-6-stars The cartography as ghastly. Try and spend more time drawing the coastline with overlay of actual map that has opacity set at 50% of so, and really do the areas well. the trick is keeping Europe huge and not squeezing Africa too much. Connections to the middle east may prove tricky as well. Asia should be easier
All I did so far is change colors. Haven’t done any borders or terrain. Can’t really make less territories and such in Asia based on game play. It would affect to much stuff
If I made Europe bigger it would throw everything off. I did make Africa a lot smaller before.
What do you mean by cartography as ghastly?
What’s opacity at 50% ?
Could you please post the newest setup charts for 43 expansion again.
Can’t seem to find it again. Computer ? Sorry.
Thank You
@the-captain said in Global 1940 & 1943 Expansions Game Report Thread:
That’s true.
If the Soviets would send fx. some Infantry units into an original Chinese territory - in order to reinforce the Chinese defense, this would also act as a Declaration of War against Japan.
In Early 1944, the Declaration of War IPC Penalty for Russia and Japan is 2 IPC - so the first Nation to violate the Non-Agression Treaty would not suffer any major IPC loss.
In other words, the economic aspect is no longer an issue, concerning violation of the Non-Agression Treaty.
So you don’t feel this is to low of a penalty ? I’m assuming this is based on when Russia and Japan fought at end of war ?
Question.
Russia cannot go into China unless at war with Japan ?
Working on a new map. Do colors look good ?
@barnee said in Vichy India:
@general-6-stars yea the major turns into a minor after India falls.
Ok. That’s cool. Didn’t see that in rules unless in Europe book
Ya What sucks is the major IC in Calcutta is not reduced on capture which it should be based on Japan never got Calcutta in real war but not my game.
Be nice if it went to a minor IC. Could house rule it in. Then have UK get a free minor IC for Persia or East Persia. Gives you that 1 extra turn to send pieces over and buy. Maybe put in Persia instead.
I think most games UK buys a IC for Persia anyway so maybe not give them a free one. Up to UK to plan ahead if they see Calcutta falling.
