Yes.

We really should actually call these “turns,” rounds of play. It might confuse those that think we mean an actual power’s turn, not a complete go-around.

Mexico isn’t worth 3 now, much less back in the 1940s

Thanks Krieghund

Ok.

The original Rules Clarifications (copyright 1991 Milton Bradley Company. All Rights Reserves. 4423-X10):

Topic: Miscellaneous
If a country’s I.P.C value goes over 45, place two markers on the board. For exampla, if your I.P.C. value is 48, place one marker at 45 and the other marker at 3.

Don’t panic veteran!

We will survive this version, too. :wink:

As some players have said, the problem is not with the land territories, but with naval units.

Anyway AA is a working project and that is what fascinates me the most. Fauls tend to be corrected in future versions.

In a future map perhaps that aligment could be fixed and maybe Pacific and Atlantic could be wider.

South Africa or someplace else?

Yes, Bloemfontein to be exact.

It doesn’t really matter to me if the US is a match because I would not think of playing a game like that, however it would be cool to see it from that view.

I think that functioneta means that you can travel from canda to mexico by sea zones

India will not have two “bumps”! So stop claiming that it will.

Proof? –-Take out your AAP40 map (if you do not have an AAP40 then go buy one) and closely look at India.

Now follow the India coastline to the back of the game board.

See how the coastline is still going southeast.

Depending on where the black backer paper is, you can see 5-6mm (1/4") of the AAE40 map.

On my game board I can see some of the boarder separating E. India from W. India.

Just like on the other edge of the same board is 5-6mm (1/4") of the other half of AAP40 map.

I can see—
  —part of the"M" of Marianas (SeaZone 22),
  — half of the “G” of New Guinea
  — half of the “Q” of Queensland
  — half of the “N” of New South Wales

The bottom of India on the AAP40 map is NOT the southern tip of India.

The coastline continues southeast a few millimeters on the AAE40 map before heading northeast.

what are those russian units in the med?

oh wait, is that italy?

why are they so brown-red?  surely they could have made them more distinct, or made russia less brown.

Gharen, I’m not necessarily an advocate for changing the rules for China, or of allowing the Chinese out of China in AA40. Hell they get to go into 20 tt. I would have liked to see a Chinese AA gun just to show the p40 ftr wasn’t just a paper tiger and the Japs took heavy air losses. I did think that China was much to weak in AA50, especially 41. I also think that China’s roll will be much different in the 40 global game. The UK/Russian powers will play a much bigger role in the Chinese arena (its kinda like an arena-they can’t leave-he he couldn’t resist  :-D). Anyway I for one will hold judgment until I’ve actually had a chance to play the global game. I don’t foresee any real problems here. I also like the fact that China is a very minor mostly def ally that is going to need a lot of help to stay in the game.

edit: I would like to see some Russian restrictions when it comes to its allies in Russian tt, and vice-versa. The Russians didn’t play nice w/allies. Any Russians going into China should maybe represent communist (MIO), and became red Chinese. They would at the point of entry have the same restrictions as the Chinese, and could not return to Russian soil. This would make Russia think twice about placing units in china. I don’t think any of this will be part of the game, but makes for an interesting scenario.

@Krieghund:

I haven’t seen the finished product yet, so all I know is “blue”.

I think powder blue would be appropriate for the french.

In case of an allies capital being captured: (Correct me if I’m wrong)
Say The Gilbert Isles are in Jap hands, along with India (UK capital). If the US liberates Gilbert, then on the US next turn (If India has not been liberated) the US can place an AB/NB there. Gilbert would (temporarily) belong to the US. If India (UK capital) is liberated, Gilbert and its new base would go back to UK. It would be the same for tt that are eligible for IC’s (say Kwangtung).

On Jan 6th I posted pics of battle boards I created along with pics of planes, airbases and naval bases.  I was e-mailed by a few people requesting a copy of the battle boards, so here they are.  You can just click on them, save them to a thumb drive, take it to a photo shop place (like Wally-World) and print in a 8 x 10.  These will probably not be favored by experienced players.  However, for novice players they are separated in to land or sea battles, completely graphic and not only used as battle boards but they also double as reference cards.  I have included notes on anything to do with battling, i.e. strategic bombing, sub hits on only transports in a SZ, AA guns, and Kamikazes.  Not so much to be used in battles, but quick reference.  I think I covered everything involved in battles, if someone see something I forgot please let me know……thanx…

I live in Savannah about 2 hours away but would drive up for a weekend game! I play all variants: global 39, IL’s Batle of the Bulge. I’m also playing and testing my own games and maps!  Email me at cadamwoodard@aol.com

love it, we have taken to writing “F” on the back of the national marker chips and making groups of planes or fighters off the board so we can move 12 ships with one fingertip.

In that case I will place some subs in that seazone, and as you know they fire a 2 against lonely trannies, so now you’ll need escort, and then……they come…

No and no.
