finally some one who just loves the game for what it really is!!!

i do all the time. it allows me to try and tweak strategies and try new things. in my latest one Italy dominated the med while japan held its own against the us with good dice. Germany was on the verge of complete domination in Russia and china was gone.

if people want to know, just look in the back of the AAE40 rule book where it distinguishes all types of units

i don’t believe that distinguishing the Battleships/cruisers/destroyers is hard at all. battleships are obvious the largest and their are three allies types and two axis types. for the cruisers, they’re smaller than the battleships but are still larger than destroyers. its the same with the battleships where the allies have 3 types to the axis 2. an for destroyers, their the smallest (next to subs) and there is two allied and two axis types. i believe that each nation should have their own unique sculpts for every unit no matter the cost because i would still buy it.

They were called “Tank Traps”

i knew about the British flags i was just saying that they were over represented in Pac 40. But for once i would like to see the German Flag Prominent. I know that this will probably never happen but still, i would be cool.

i agree 100%. whats with the 4 British flags on the Pacific box cover?

if any of these would have happened, it would have significantly altered the outcome of the war probably in Germany’s  favor. But in my opinion, yes Germany would have won with any of those happening.

if Canada is a separate power, then aren’t you taking too much away from the UK on both sides of the board? i mean now Europe UK has 23 and Pac UK has 15. 15 makes for an uneven buy and also a weak euro UK. in either global or Europe, the UK barely has enough to fight with what it has let alone a weaker economy. i like it but i don’t think it would work

would 1942 work for Russia? they would have very little income seeing that most of their IPC’s are made i the western part of the country.

sorry. i thought you have to control both countries. my bad

did an ally control Norway? b/c if not then the UK broke the straights rule and Berlin wouldn’t have fallen as fast

with the new straits rules you only need to take one territory to close the med.

tanks. yes i know there expensive but then again i have an armored Doctrine. 2 tanks a turn will usually do it against the Italians. if you defend well in Egypt then your doing well. if not you can still slow them down a lot.

i think that the US should have the split income, not the UK. it should be 41 pacific, 41 Europe. then the player is forced to commit in both theaters.

what the German Player wants is for Russia to try and stop your advance in all areas. if they do that then they’re too thin and are easy to open a hole in the communist lines. also i personally hit Leningrad first for 2 major reasons. 1 i want a factory that’s close to the front and that can cause major problems. 2  the bulk of the Russian army is focused there  and if destroyed severely cripples the soviet war effort.

Just Wondering. couldn’t find any Italian tanks so sorry. NO TANK DESTROYERS!!!

with the game I’ve played i used the broad attack and Russia counter attacks failed. you have to have then defend everywhere and then massive breakthrough on Moscow. i go with the tank blitz in the east and infantry in the west with a tank stack to counter any landings. also you just buy land and a little air. NO NAVY!!! that’s the biggest mistake. upgrade you Germany factory after you take France and put more units in the north to tie up soviet forces, this will also help with defending it from an easy allies attack. Italy has to take Egypt by round 3 or its over for them. keep yourself out of the war with USSR/US as long as possible.

set up is sweet but you have too many tanks and artillery and not enough plastic sculpts. otherwise its fantastic

for both Europe and global, you could have France become the axis controlled Vichy French. all you have to do is move the minor IC from Normandy to southern France. This would only happen when Paris and Normandy territories fell and the french player would have to make a deal with Germany.
