No prob.

Ok, sounds good. You want to start a thread w/ Germany 1 and I’ll respond.

Thanks,

I think I have it. I can take either side at no bid. Just let me know.

Is there a way to zoom in on the abattlemap screen?

Thanks,

I’ll try it with you but I’m an abattlemap noob….

I wouldn’t mind trying, I’m a normally a face to face guy and haven’t played by forum before.

Have played about 10 games of G40 so far. I’ve just downloaded Abattlemap but have never used it.

If you want someone more experienced it won’t hurt my feelings.

If UK pacific units take Persia and Iraq, does the income add to UK Pacific or Atlantic?

copper, would a mixed tanks (2) and mechs (4) force work as well in India instead of 7 mechs so you have more counter punch options to help China/UK later?

If sea lion works 90% of the time what is the point of this build grasshopper? To kill some german tanks? As a deterrent?

To the OP, why is it certain Egypt will fall? You can take out or weaken the Ethopian Italian forces with an attack on GB1/GB2, and take out one of the two Italian navies and attack Tobruk soon enough.

After that is pulled off, they’ll need German help to capture Egypt/middle east IMO.

What did the USA build turns 1-3 and where?

I suppose you combine this with a neutrals crush of Sweden, Spain simultaneously on G2?

Germany has to end up with a unit in Egypt for one of the NOs.

How is everyone achieving this goal?

I was thinking of taking So. France T1 and building a German tranny in that factory G2, taking Egypt with Italy I2 or I3 and reinforcing with the German troops G3 or G4 for the NO?

Is anyone trying building a real German Afrika Corps? I was thinking in conjunction with Sea Lion, a lot of IPCs could be piled up by pushing south through africa as nothing could be built in the S. African factory, while slowly whittling down Russia in the east through plodding attrition, playing for the longer game and economic superiority over the Allies.

Any ideas? Usually I am lucky to hold on to Egypt as Italy, I think I should make a bigger effort in such a valuable and lightly defended Africa. (My American opponent sometimes builds a USA factory in Brazil and shuttles and then walks troops across the south, which could ruin this plan.)

If I have a transport and want to move through a sz with an enemy sub on my way to do an amph. assault a couple sea zones away, in alpha 3 is this still possible?

My understanding is the sub no longer gets a dice roll at my tranny, and my tranny can’t amph assault in that same sea zone as the sub, but I assume my tranny can make an amph. assault in another sea zone after passing through the one with the sub?

won’t china be collecting 14, and with 2 inf 2 art a turn be pushing you out of the coastal territories?

Man I loved the old AA50 days where the rules were simpler…

I like this map loads better and it looks great on my pool table, but hate the complex rule set and political rules…

Thanks for the help everyone…

My thought was would it be possible with a major in Shanghi to slow push masses of infantry/art backed by planes to India on turn seven (5 spots away from a turn 2 build), and focus the rest of efforts and starting transports and fleet on the money islands or neutering ANZAC?

Just brainstorming for a game tomorrow.

I meant Kiangsu the one with 3….my bad

Wouldn’t it be cheaper as Japan to build a major in Kwang turn 2 and start turning out infantry/art hit absorbing fodder stacks aimed at India and China turn 3 instead of building a naval base in Hainan and a bunch of trannies for a shuck from Japan?

Does anyone build mainland factories? Would it be too hard to defend from the US later?

How is your IPC income during this strategy Spendo?

Do you have another partial fleet running round the money islands?

Are you building factories on the mainland?

If the game is 1940 and Japan didn’t attack until the end of 1941, wouldn’t that indicate a surprise attack on turn 3 or something?

Maybe UK shouldn’t have to split their income but the USA has to?

Seems like an easy fix to save England rd1-rd3 and splitting up US power. Of course it would probably break the game in a million ways that I can’t think of…
