@Field-marshall Cool, I will give it a try. TY

@Field-marshall Agree, have not mastered that technique yet. Tried dipping some pieces but wasn’t that great.

@Field-marshall
I feel like they lost a bit of detail once painted. They turned out ok. Did some a paratroopers.

The description on HBG says there are rules to adapt this expansion to A&A Global 1940. Were are those rules and has anyone tried it?

@taamvan Even without the tech, 20 or 30 bombers flying around…pretty much can put an end to most fleets or ground advances.

Allies Playbook:

Hold out until the USA enters the war. USA build only strategic bombers and roll technology until super bomber. Then destroy everything that matters. Game over.

Pretty simple.

Just picked these up. I think they are a new release. The box is huge compared to the pieces…lol.

There is a lot of flash to clean up but they should look good when painted.!

Here is a draft for a potential R&D Tech Chart for G40. The IPC/Costs and a few other things need some fixing updating. Will likely adopt some Bloodbath rules for rolling. Open to ideas/suggestions. This has not really been play tested, just a concept at this point.

Possible adjustment:
Turn 1: Build a research center for XX IPC (likely around 10 IPC)
Turn 2: Research a technology, like Ballistics and Amor or Advanced Propulsion (around 4 or 5 IPC)
Turn 3: Research technology if applicable or move to next stage of Deployment and roll 1 D6 and pay that amount
Turn 4: Deploy technology - Roll 1 D6 and pay that amount

It is possible to research more than one technology in parallel but it will cost.

Some technology allows upgrading units on the board for a cost (like Adv. Mech Inf.). Other techs apply to future units to be deployed.

Let me know your thoughts/input.

Where can one download these to print/view? thank you…

@genken Might be cool to have a house rule that 1) 1, 2 or 3 the ship is damaged in a way that it moves at half but attacks full or 2) 4, 5, or 6 it is damaged in a what that it moves 2 spaces but attacks with a hit on 1 or 2 vs 4 normally.

Any idea when in 2019 one can one expect the new version of the map from HBG with the air/naval bases printed on the map?

CDG, that is for Triple A?  Never saw a factory in Libya for Italy in your 1939 v3.

Thanks…

We use them for German trucks and trucks replace the 3 (green) chip.  So a truck = 3 infantry.  They are a good piece BTW.

Unfortunately, the hours involved painting them, etc. does not really make it cost effective.

Any updates on expected ship date?

Thanks, will give that try.  The other/combined issue is that it is so pliable that the plastic bends and the paint peels off also.  Might even try a dip in super glue or something.

I have been reading some posts on events cards but it looks like many are pretty aged.

I am starting to explore the idea of event cards for weather, maybe some technology, political events, tactical advantages, etc.  These could be randomly drawn for entire board or let each country draw their own…or both.

Would like to hear if others have been successful integrating event cards.

Thanks…

If Italy wants a tech, they will be one turn behind since they do not start with a free round?  So they will to see if they get a 6 on the 4th round and if not buy dice on the 5th?

China is an endless money pit.  Japan cannot hold China and the oil islands, etc.  Push them as far back as one can early before war then they will rapidly begin building again anywhere they wish.  Japan cannot planes in China forever.

Good info…thanks!
