i added the picture

Is the only purpose of those territories to contribute to the world-wide version of the game, then?

yes

its possible, hard to make plans, got a newborn at home

They will be the same sculpts as the UK in a different shade of tan

so in the global game, they will remain seperate?

You live near?

Green Bay,  but i worked in Cedar Grove for about 2 years

you live near the windmill?

What is the start date going to be?

AAE40 begins shortly after Dunkirk, Germany.   AAP40 will also begin at around that same period (19 months before Pearl Harbor)

i think you should head over to the WOTC website and file your complaints.  i dont think krieghund has anything to do with the marketing of the games or how they are advertised.  I for one am thankful for everything krieghund does do for us, i.e. give us info on new games, explaining rules, and so on.  all these issues are not on him, they are on Wizards

Ships might be able to move more than 2 spaces, (maybe from friendly port to friendly port ).

ships leaving a naval base can move 3 sea zones- Per LH

Will the UK have enuff forces to reinforce France on the 1st turn if Germany attacks the SU first?

LH
When you look at the English Channel and contemplate an attack on this island nation, you will see exactly what the Germans saw… a totally depleted British land force. The only thing that stands between you and capturing London is the RAF

Will the neutrals have their own pieces?

Per LH:
There are no specific neutral pieces. Neutral territories will be represented on the map in one of 3 possible colors. The specific color depends on their neutrality status.  They will be represented by the aggressor’s opposing alliance.

Wow, I’ve really been playing wrong then.  I thought a DD (or any other lone surface ship) could stop a massive fleet from moving 2 zones, but it can’t.  They can just sink the lone boat and then advance through the zone to a second zone as long as there are no hostile surface ships in the second zone.

only units not moved during combat can move through the zone during the noncombat phase.  one a unit engages in combat, it can’t move any further.

Does anyone know if, assuming the territory has 3 or more ipcs, a Minor Factory can be UPGRADED to a Major Factory? (and at what price?  I hope it will be more than the difference, but less than the cost of a major, so if majors cost 25 and minors cost 10, the upgrade can cost 20, for example)
Does anyone know the costs of a minor and major factories?

There will be limited builds per factory… Actually there will be two types (or sizes) of factories. Major – can produce 10 units per turn minus any damage they have received. Minor – can build 3 units per turn minus damage. Factories (Industrial Complexes) cannot be built on islands (Japan and Australian exceptions). You will not be building many Major factories – they cost 30 IPCs each. Minor ICs cost 12. They each have their own AA gun defense systems built in. A minor IC can only be build on a territory with an IPC offering of 2 or more… a major requires 3 or more

Italy… Italy will be split into two territories… Northern Italy and, you guessed it, Southern Italy. Sardinia and Sicily will each be separate territories. No land bridge between Sicily and Italy…

Patriotic War Rules… not sure yet. Well, there are some but I don’t know if they really qualify. Let’s see how this goes.

The US will be three territories West, Central, and East.

I was studying the map and noticed that Libya and Egypt were taking up a lot of space for the backwater areas they represented. I thought if they were broken up a bit they might become a more interesting part of the game. I must say, however, I have read a lot of IL’s ideas and like the vast majority of them…

There are no special Mideast rules per se… lot’s of neutrals etc… For example I’m carrying Iraq as a pro-Axis territory.

Neutral Ireland … yes Neutral Irish units. No. Who the hell could they find to fill the ranks? All the men where in the British Army!

I totally love the idea of a rail system game mechanic. It ain’t going to happen in this game but I’d like to think it will in some future game

there are 6 territories between Berlin and Stalingrad

Larry already confirmed:

Germany will be split into three territories.
Germany (with Berlin), Western Germany and Greater southern Germany.

Dutch have no representation other than the motherland and some colonies. I wish this could be otherwise.

No Blockhouse rules… Paratroopers – not sure yet.

No A-bomb rules

A territory on the map is either controlled and contributing to one power or the other. If not, they are either neutral, neutral and pro- Axis or neutral and pro ally.

Finland – Presently Finland is being carried as Germany territory for purposes of German IPC income and starting positions. Technically I know this is technically not correct. I don’t want any automatic status changes based on Barbarossa. If I did it this way Finland would require a special rule. Not actually neutral and not actually occupied it would require a special status on the map. I’m not interested in going there with this game. Talk me out of it if you like.

Hungary – Presented as a German controlled territory.

Romania – Presented as a German controlled territory.

Bulgaria – Presently as pro- Axis neutral

Slovakia or Slovakia/Hungary is presented as a German controlled territory

Siam – Presently as a Japanese controlled territory.

As much as I recognize the impact and importance of Partisans I’m not ready to introduce them into the game rules. It certainly could be done but I think they are not in scale with the scope of this game system.

The cost and abilities of Cruisers will NOT be changing. At least not in these 1940 games - That is all.

Thanks buddy! These were added.

thanks krieg

was the board fold out or seperate like AA50?
