I dont know how I could have done so, but i guess I have a good imagination. But I’m sure that it is something I have read somewhere :)

I have updated the list.

I remember having seen one for dl somewhere on the forum. So you just need to search for it :)

I just discovered, that there is many more differences to the startup, than I previous stated.

I will update my findings in a couple of days, when I have added it all together :)

Kriegshound, is USA really down to only getting +10 IPC when at war? (of the NO’s in alpha +.2, it is only number 1 that US can be achieved in Europe!)

So all the changes (beside the modifications of the rules) to Europe 1940 made by the Alpha +.2 is essentially:

9+ IPC to Russia
+1 UK infantry in Egypt
NO Germany: +5 while not at war with Russia
NO Russia: +5 when at war with Germany

Is that really all?

So, if I’m gonna play by the Alpha +.2 in a Europe 1940 game, the above listed 4 changes and the rule changes is all?

Damn it would be nice with a complete list, i.e. “Alpha +.2 for 1940 Europe” - no fancy graphic layout, just text explayning how to set up and play :) Really hope someone will make that. And if no one has made it, by the time I figure it out, I will make it :D But I’m making only small progress here :)

Looking forward to seeing your upcoming work :D

Great :D

I dont understand, why these aids dont come with the game in the first place… But then it is great, someone has the ability to make some, that looks great :D

And bob, I just reread your first post. I beg of you to make updated charts of Europe also, besides the global charts you plan on making.

I think we are a lot of people playing Europe / Pacific more often than we play the even more time consuming Global edition.

I really like all these game aids. I dont understand why they doesn’t come with the game OOB.

But Bobs does not include alpha +2, right?

@ozimek1:

I’ve played one game of Europe with Alpha+2. Worked pretty well. You can see the session report over at boardgamegeek, here:
http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/618278/europe-only-first-game-with-alpha2-setup

Ozimek1, do you have a list of alpha+2 for europe only, or du you just use the global alpha+2 and disregard anything about the pacific theater?

Hey Bob

Really nice work!

I have one correction:

In Germanys NO, you have them set up for 5+ for both Volgograd and +5 for Novgorod. Kriegshound has stated, that you only get +5 for having one of them. You dont get a total of 10 for controlling both of them. (see his answer here: http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=22286.0)

Is there any change you will make som more aids for the Europe 1940 game? I.E. Taskforce markers and battlestrip.

Great work 94Canuck! Really nice aids.

Any chance you will be making some task force markers?

And any chance you will be making equivalent aids for the Europe 1940?
