Ya but what the heck do the union jack roundels mean?

my guess is it’s for the IPC chart, to keep track of both UK economies.

as far as i know, they will not send extra mech infantry, just tac bombers and battlestrip

Have the 2 UK transports begin off India, instead of off Malaya.

I see the merit it this suggestion. The UK navy without a surviving transport is like a junk yard dog with no teeth. Other than barking… what good is it?

This simple adjustment will offer many more dynamic options to the UK player as he desperately tries to hold back the Japanese onslaught.
I like it.
I will also lobby for this setup change to appear on future print runs of the game.

Thanks

Germany’s starting income is 30 IPCs and Russia’s is 37

Per LH 7/27/10

Global United Kingdom Rules
The player controlling the United Kingdom tracks income generated and spent in the European and Pacific theaters separately. UK units purchased and placed on the Pacific map can only be bought with IPCs generated on the Pacific map. Likewise, UK units purchased and placed on the Europe map can only be bought with IPCs generated on the Europe map.

Calcutta is considered to be a regional capital. If India is captured by an Axis power, that power will receive the UK player’s unspent Pacific IPCs only.

If the United Kingdom is captured by an Axis power, that power will received the UK player’s unspent Europe IPCs only. If one of its capitals is captured, the UK player may still continue to collect and spend IPCs in the other capital.

Yes, the set will be FREE to those customers who have an AMMO BOX, you will just have to pay UPS shipping OR they will be added to a future order.

sounds good, thanks

YES, I will post a link here so members can access this “upgrade” product that will not be listed on our site.

will those of us that purchased the ammo box still get ours?

can you make a new forum category for the Global game?  It might make it easier that threads spread around… just a thought.

the only person who can do that is djensen, and a request was made to him long ago

same as if us, france,russia,uk,anzac, use a befores(wrong spelling)

?

speaking about IL, has any one heard from him

he’s always here, watching us

As for the Global game… I’m not sure there is a large enough French presence to warrant French units in FIC

Is France a speed bump ….? Well if it is it’s got to be the biggest speed bump I’ve ever seen in Axis & Allies. Does 2 destroyers, 2 cruisers, 12 infantry, 2 artillery, a fighter and a tank, along with elements of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) sound like a speed bump to you? Remember, this is the force that France begins the game with, and the game begins after Dunkirk. As we begin the game most of the French army has already been chewed up on the flat fields of Belgium and Northern France.

I know the French navy is probably under represented in the game. For balance and playability it had to have a smaller foot print. As for Vichy France, I consider that to have been a Nazi ploy forced on France. As such it has more political implications than military and to have it in the game would cause more confusion than it was worth. That’s exactly what the Nazis designed it to do - confuse. I decided that the game did not have to have this event represented in the game. The game was going to be confusing enough as is. Cheesy Furthermore, the implementation of the Vichy government occurred after the game’s starting date.

If you are controlling France, and if you are so inclined – go ahead and sign an armistice and install a poppet French government in Vichy and do exactly what your Nazi poppet master tells you to do. Be sure to add to you house rule, however, that France can’t build new armies… The vast majority of the French would have nothing to do with it.

France will fall… Paris will be captured unless something goes very wrong with the dice or the German player fails to invest enough units into the capture of the territory. The war does go on, however. The Free French units will play an important role in the allies effort to win this game. AND…. If and when Paris is liberated, France will not only once again have its own economy re-established but will benefit from a surge of 4 new French infantry units that suddenly appear on the territory containing the city of lights.

Hey Oztea … Sorry man. France and Western Germany do touch each other…

Would an American Civil War themed game based off of A&A’s system work?

Grand Army of The Republic is based on AA rules.
