Are you out there?

Hey Rhey,

If you’re still looking for an opponent, I’d be happy to play you.  You seem the impatient type, like me.  I’m sure we’ll get along fine.  Fair warning, I might be a bit busy for the next 3 days, but after that I’m all yours.

I’m thinking no bid, and we roll to see which side we get.  Sound good?

Hello Europe - Yank here, seeking a game.  Triple A, latest Alpha3+ or better rules, Global. Let’s start a war. Time zone probably not an issue, I’m on my computer a lot for work.

Simple answer: Never
Complicated answer: Never

anyone else ever tried playing AAP40 with alpha 3.9 rules?

@empireman:

this is cool! :-D
Just 1 thing: Sweden should not be pro anything

Yeah, there’s a problem with Sweden being pro-Finland….  mainly that the Finns and Swedes had a rather contentious relationship due in part to the fact that Sweden and Russia both vied for control of Finland.  Many of the treaties between Sweden and Russia that resulted from these wars used Finland a a bargaining chip, ceding land to each with little regard for an independent Finnish state.  So yeah…  Finns don’t really like Swedes.

Tangentially, a Swedish historian told a group of us that in a treaty with the Russians from one of the final wars between them there was a clause that if Sweden were to engage in hostilities again against the Russians and they were to lose, Russia would claim all Swedish lands.  He indicated that this was one of the many reasons Sweden maintained neutrality, even when supplying materials to the Axis.

Haha, way to make me reconsider the idea! I can see the potential now, even puppet state control markers!

@empireman:

did they go after UK? or after another country?

At the beginning of the game I bought a sub and another destroyer and went on a submarine hunt.
Then they helped reinforcing the british after being liberated by the USA. They captured Brasil and Invaded gibraltar and North-Africa alongside the Americans. In the end they were able to invade Norway. The allies claimed victory shorty after that. I found them fun to play with.

I’m thinking of just putting them in as a complete independent force from the beginning starting with the 7 IPC’s from Canada.

Either way they were an original addition to our game without interfering with balance issues. I gave them a spot going behind the UK but maybe it’s better for them to go behind Italy’s turn. That’s something I still have to tweek :)
