I very much like the occupation rule.

Non-Original territories with victory cities need at least 15 IPCs worth of land units for the victory city to be consdered “held”.

While a victory city is “occupied” you recieve

• A bonus 1 IPC, and a further bonus 2 IPCs if you control all surrounding territories
• You may mobilize one infantry at occupied victory cities
• If the enemy attempts to liberate a territory with a victory city within, and you are not occupying the victory city, they get two free infantry. One before the combat, and a second if the attacker is victorious.

this is great

has any one tried to give the deffender of a victory city a deffence bonus,say inf deffend on a 3,for the first round of combat.this will sim the bloody street fighting of stalingrade and berlin

WHAT IS CCP?

that will take six months to play a game LOL

I am trying to make a model to represent an oil complex.
Here it is on the Europe 1940 Board.
I used a Oil derrick & Shack from the game “King Oil”, and “N” scale oil barrels (you can get them from C in C), this is mounted on a penny.
Just a draft for now. What are your thoughts?

looks great,what rules are you using for the oil shack???

Remember that land units should use steam (i.e. rail) during NC movement.  Neither side is likely to run out of coal…

thanks i dident think of that

If buying 1 technology dice per round you would average 1 technology per 30ipc.

You can not direct your technology so you have a 1 in 6 chance of getting the technology you want (but there probably is not any technology that your really want) you would be better off buying units that you can direct to be exactly what you want.

All techs are worthless, worth less than 30ipc

Tell us that when the usa is pounding germany with heavy long range bombers with jet fighter escorts,and the uk are sending over v2 rockets,its game over LOL

The main problem is that it gives the Allies an overwhelming advantage.  They start with all the oil they could ever need, while the Axis is struggling to produce enough for basic needs; they’d have to be given a large stockpile to begin with.  It would also telegraph their moves: towards the Caucasus and Dutch East Indies, making it that much easier for the Allies to block them.

Germany would have to be given the ability to build synthetic oil plants, which could be the target of Allied bombing attacks.

hmmm,i see what you meen,this would be a problem with game play,but what you just said is historic fact,i can put wells in countrys that have them now ie china norway.

heres a list of the worlds oil fields

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oil_fields

In global there’s an uneasy compromise with IPC values; some incorporate oil income (East Indies), while some most definitely ignore it (particularly Caucasus).  The latter is probably to prevent a major factory being built there, but it seems better to me that the industrial production level and the oil/raw materials income should be separated, so that factory placement is allowed only in heavily industrialised areas.

i was thinking more of oil wells,producing one oil barrel every round,they can be movied like armys,and captured,and can be sold to the bank for ipc.you need to use one barrel to move any troops each round,if you dont have oil your troops only get one move,like infantry,each country starts the game with oil reserves,this will make oil tactacal,like in the battle of the bulge.The wells can allso be bombed for damage like naval bases and air fields.

and russian sailors

sweet,i have about 1000,us german and russians 1/72 figs painted from years ago,what will you use them for,is their rules for them???

Is there any rules for adding oil wells to global 40,what territorys to put them in?

I use tool boxes too. They are great, but a little expensive

yours look a bit better than mine,mine are a soft plastic,and smaller,but only cost 5 euro,thats not very expensive

I understand that but it is the principal of the matter. A set of games that are as pricey as these are should not have these many issues. When all of the issues were brought up with AAP40, Larry and WotC should have made sure that AAE40 had no issues before being released. I don’t know what has happened with the AA franchise but these kinds of things are really disturbing. I was going to pick up AAE40 next Friday when I get paid but after seeing this thread I am really debating on whether to get it or not. I am being more selective in the games that I buy with the price they are now. Too much money to spend to have to make corrections on the set up boxes and any issues that might come up with the new rule book.

your right,why they cant get it right first time,or get some fans to play test it,im sure some guys here would love to do that,its just not on

i use plastic tool boxes,the ones for holding little screws and things,mine have up to 17 conpartments,and you can change the dividers if ya want,cost 5 euro each,i bought 9,i just rememberd its called an organizer and its made by stanley

thanx…u said u own a ammo box is there any way of passing the info on those?where to locate them?..pic’s etc.

its not cheap lol
