would be nice, esp since LH typo’d the original post…

to be fair though, the global game (when you combine europe with pacific) is completely unbalanced at this point with the starting setup the creators give you.  Also, Pacific 40 is horribly one-sided as well.

But if you just want to buy/play Europe 40, it is pretty good.

so you have a 1:36 chance of this happening for every $5 you spend…not a big deal.

agree that alpha setup has no place in g40.  use the oob setup for global and tweak from there.

how do you get to 14 w/o having 8 or 6 and thus winning?  You’d win at 13…

@qwertyuiop:

MY GOD PEOPLE, YOU ARE ALL SO OBSESSED WITH BALANCE, MAYBE THE GAME BALANCE ISN’T THE ISSUE,……MAYBE YOU SHOULD STOP PLAYING IT SO MUCH AND GET OUT AND GET OUTSIDE MORE OFTEN.

troll.

It’s November 11th here, that means it’s cold.  Outside?  Eat me.

I’ve tested the alpha enough to know it is trash, harsh but an accurate choice of words in my opinion.  Deal with it. :)

We’ve decided to use the new NO’s with the OOB setup and see what happens.

it’s like taking credit for inventing light mayo.

Right, I don’t care about the historical aspect of it either, but the fact is the game was setup for American players to fight a two theater war, and if they don’t and focus everything on the Nazis, it’s over.

It is at war.  Not neutral…

Semantics.

Can you fly over a Turkey when it is neutral?  No.

Can you put a ship through the the Bosporus and the Dardanelles when Turkey is neutral?  No.

Seems a little wiggly that a plane can pass from the Aegean to the Black Sea is all.

That may be so, but the alpha weakens an already weak axis.

The Beta ideas are small tweaks that should be considered for the OOB setup first.  Eliminates the need for a massive FAQ/Errata’d setup.

I think it is driving at the right idea, but at a backwards way.

An axis win on half the board isn’t a “global” game.

Splitting the US’s IPCs between the West and East coasts would be a better solution to me.

Splits the Global game into 2 half games.  It does force the US to play both boards, but we’re backing into the real solution of splitting the US’s IPCs like the UK.

Using the Alpha as a base sounds like a recipe for disaster.  If the Alpha is for Pac40, then why not use the OOB setup for the G40 “beta” ?

Right.  But I have a hard time with the fact a plane can pass through the straits while turkey is neutral.  Meh.

j1 gets you borneo easy.  also, you drop that BB before it gets soakers.  other than that it’s sure not as appealing as in p40.

it’s a shame that the neutrality of turkey doesn’t matter.

Is this beta setup using the OOB or alpha as it’s base?
