Got a few quick questions, sorry didn’t read all the 100 posts :(

1- Can you send ‘infinite’ number of plane to attack a territory, a sea zone if there is no landing room EXCEPT for 1 carrier. Basically, this allows US or Japan to launch very powerful attack (while losing most of their air force). For example, can you attack a seazone  with 10 fighters, but only 2 can actually land on the Aircraft carrier?

2- Technology and UK : Will a technology breakthrough be shared with Europe and Pacific UK?

3- Germany and Italy OIL NO. Is the OIL NO (persia, east persia, iraq etc) shared with both Germany and Italy? In other words, if Italy controls, say Iraq, does it also give +2 to Germany?

4- (Not very important ^^) : Say Germany or Japan gets a REALLY BAD turn 1, will you continue to play, or just reset the board? Last time, on G1, I failed to sink Canadian navy with 2 sub, failed my attack on BB + Cruiser, failed attack on France (France survived!) and Normandy. -.-

Friend is coming over for a global game.

I think I can make all countries work, except one : America. What generally is a good way of playing the us? How many transports per round. Tanks to support the Infantry, or Art? etc etc

Kind of last minute indeed!

The historical date I’m asking are not necessary. I’m making a lecture on theory of just war and WWII serves me as an example ; i could live without, but thought it would be interesting to show some numbers to back up my words!

but thank you for the answers!

Robert

I have to give a lecture tomorrow and want to use some historical data. Unfortunately, I have no real formation in history and can only rely on my high school knowledge and on Wikipedia.

So here’s my question :D

When was the was WWII won? I’m not interested in the date 1945, but rather when did Germany lost all hope of victory? One could have no chance of winning and yet still continue to fight… A friend suggested that it happened after the failure of Stalingrad, because that opened the way for Russia’s counterattack and because Germany pretty much lost all their military advantage. Any other opinions?

This question is followed by a second, perhaps more important, but linked with the first one :

How many cities did the Allied bombed after the Germany lost all chances of victory? I don’t really want an exhaustive list (unless you know it!!), but an estimate would be really appreciated

thank you for making my lecture more accurate!!

Oh wow, dumb me. The setups are just above, at Bob_A -.-

Still need to know the units per nation

I just received the game and having read the setups, and having read the national objectives and having heard about Larry’s latest change to Pacific setup, I was wondering if anyone had a document where all these are contained? AA50 was great because each nation had its own card.

I’m sure someone out there made them. Cant remember the name or the post. Can anyone lead me to there?

ty!

also, where was the full list of units? I think im missing some stuff…. my italian only have 1 Battleship for exmaple

I will probably play the first games with splitting the UK income, assuming they did playtested the game… If we find the game imbalanced, a quick change could be to combine the UK income :)

Historically, I think, the eastern invasion didn’t hurt Russia that much. They were still able to send waves of man after waves. AA doesn’t seem to take that into account :)

Cross my fingers and hope to receive the game before university starts (the game is expected to be released 24th, we start during the week of 1st september)

Thing is, its always easier to have a fleet than having to go through the logistic of building transports + troops. Also, if the map is correct, then you wont be able to ship troops in 1 turn to Europe. So that requires even more defensive fleet. Which in turn, could make SBR more appealing… but allies will need to be lucky or to have alot of escorts. Making germany lose some guy in the air battle could help USSR a litte

well from a 17 purchase to rebuild the lost material to 57, there is already a big difference. Time is against the allies when Japan do its J1. But by giving more money to USA asap, that allows USA to be a bigger threat faster, which in turn slows down Japan, which should help the remaining allies. Never tested, just making logic

Robert

All the WHAT IF create interesting conversations, but are all pointless because history is what it is

It appears that some Chinese were killed at the frontiers, which could isolate North Korea even more

Who is putting these restrictions on them?

The map.
And the initial set-up.
I don’t think the two ANZAC infantry in Egypt will have much in the way of ‘Swing Power’ in Europe, for instance. ANZAC’s whole purpose is to guard against Japan on the Pacific map.

That could be, but what is going to stop Japan from invading Russia?

A horde of Red men in worthless territories. And a bunch of Allies with real offensive abilities if left unchecked

I wonder if Japan will still want to make J1 attack now, especially if it triggers USA to 100 economy! (Maybe it will be +40 NO each side depending against whom he is at war)

we’ve played games of AA50 for over 10 hours and haven’t been able to finish. 5 hours or so in Pacific 40 before someone concede, but never with a clear victory

Say you give someone uk and he gets crushed by Japan early. You have to understand that person that he doesn’t want to continue to play…
