It would not have made a difference anyways even if you exclude that 4 as a hit, there’s 4 hits on sz110.  You would go low to high anyways to prevent re-rolls, so 3fig first, then 3tac,1bat for sz110.  For sz111 it also didn’t matter since I rolled 5 and 6s with a single 1.  Of course I can re-roll if you wish.

So, OOL for sz111 still, I assume 1bat takes a hit, and either the 1des or 1cru.  I have 2subs there.

Any scrambles?

Sounds like a great plan against computer AI.  Slim chances vs an experienced human player.

Is there still no official ruling on USSR entering “European” allied territory when at war with Japan?

Japan and Germany are not allied at the start of the game are they?  USSR declaring war with Japan does not force them to declare war on Germany.

UK starts off at war with Germany/Italy, but USSR does not and cannot provoke war with the European Axis until turn 4.  UK is not allied with USSR at the start of the game.  Just because USSR declares war with Japan, which is at peace with UK, doesn’t automatically ally USSR with UK.  Why would USSR be able to move ANY units into UK when they are not allied?

Ok I’m up for another g40 game(or two).  Can do regular or alpha start.

@larrymarx:

Has anyone considered a primarily naval Germany?

The idea struck me when I was considering what to do once Germany takes London.

Uhh If Germany takes London it’s also game over.  Another part of the game I don’t believe has been play tested enough with the initial setup.  It doesn’t take too much luck for Germany to take out UK since it has literally 3 turns to do so.

Probably can add

5. tanks costing 6 now kills germany.  It was bad enough taking moscow in aa50 with only 3 territories between germany and moscow, but look at how many more territories there are now.  Only an idiot would lose ussr in this game.

I’ve only played one game and it became very apparent that the game is seriously broken.  In aa50, it was still possible to win with either side even if the allies concentrated entirely on one axis.  In aag40 however, some of the rules are seriously broken and need to be adjusted for the “global” game.

1. ports are fine in the pacific, but in europe, it’s a disaster for the axis.  There is no way the axis can prevent a large US naval stack with 5 or more transports sitting on the atlantic side of gibraltar.  With air on carriers and bombers in uk, the US could strike anywhere in france, norway, or either german or italian capitals with a stack that could be as large as 20 units very early.

2. japan can’t do enough against north america to prevent the US from going all out kgf by moving all their naval units to europe.  They can be annoying but the US income is too large and the building base too high on continental US to seriously threaten taking w. US.  It would also mean giving up china and the rest of asia to put in a serious enough of an attempt on w. US which means japan’s income is just too small.

3. as discussed here, once the US takes norway, it’s over.  Germany would have to spend too much just to defend their homeland which doesn’t leave enough to do anything against ussr if that player is half way competent.  10 ground units with a stack of air every turn means germany gets picked apart pretty fast.  With the US strike force starting off at gibraltar, it’s impossible for the axis to defend everything with both their homelands are at risk.  Building a major complex in norway first doesn’t help since germany isn’t exactly rolling in dough.  The only way to even make any attempt of holding norway is by giving up any assault on ussr but people can see what would happen there eventually.

4. unlike aa50 where japan can eventually get strong enough and advance quickly enough to actually help germany, aag40 board is too large for japan to do anything to help against kgf.  Anyone looking at the unit counts can see it starts to go downhill for the axis very quickly.  There’s too big of a gap in incomes.

The only thing I can see possibly offsetting these factors are victory cities.  I haven’t lookated at it closely enough, but I guess if victory cities for the axis were set low enough, it might be possible for them to win that way if japan can take out all of asia before germany gets crushed.

Looking for a “friendly” aag40 game.  I’m totally new to it and actually haven’t read the g40 specific rules but know the general rules quite well.

Is there another download site the module can be found?  For some reason I can’t access mediafire.

Looking for another game or two for 41
