Libya would have been lost, BUT (and this is a MAJOR but) Russia would have faced more German heat, earlier. Enough to take one of Leningrad, Stalingrad, or Moscow?

Not sure.

Enough to make a difference?

Definitely.

Gargantua is right–in 1942 BB’s were THE unit–not only for strafing but for general attacks.

Regarding strafing, I know I don’t take it into account enough. It can be useful in certain situations.

I’d take Larry and Krieg’s word that they are, but publishing a game would seem to make the rules “final” and it clearly didn’t…

1. The US can declare war on Japan at the START OF THEIR COMBAT MOVE PHASE if Japan makes a DOW on UK/ANZAC. So no, they wouldn’t defend.

2. Both defend.

3. UK BB doesn’t defend and can withdraw on its turn as if Japan built a unit there.

4. Yes, DOW’s on UK apply to ANZAC as well.

5. To attack the DEI, Japan would have to be at war with ANZAC/UK. That means the fighter would defend.

Well yes, but West Germany is a part of Germany…  :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I don’t think it matters–it’s all for game purposes.

Crete is a separate Pro-Allies neutral territory.

Anyone can post here or PM me if they want to play, but I would like directions on how to install ABattlemap please!

My guess is it’s a balance issue. And also, let’s say Giant German Army in Slovakia-Hungary attacks Giant Russian Army in Eastern Poland. After 1 round of EVEN combat, Russia retreats to Bessarabia and grabs Romania and its IC from Germany the next turn, crippling Germany’s Barbarossa.
I agree it’s unrealistic, but I think it’s necessary for the game.

Cool story bro, I guess.

Might help to have this NOT in Global 1940…

OK. Let me spell this out simply. I have asked twice before to no avail.

Can someone walk me through the steps to getting ABattlemap on my computer, and getting it ready to play a Global 1940 game by forum?

And my guess is this might be somewhere already that I haven’t found. If that is true, please link me to the page with ABattlemap available for download.

@Gargantua:

You should add,

FINAL ALPHA 3.9+ to your poll.

Sooo true dat.

I like mech units at a point, but you should be supplanting your force with inf/art from the frontline USSR IC’s.

OK good I guess I’m allowed to spam myself if I want  :-D :-D :-D

What do I need to download before I get this?

Note that I have NOTHING related to Axis and Allies on my comp.

(I.E., how do I get the capabilities to play by forum?)

Please help!

Ummm…might want to check the part that says “PM me if interested.”

We’ll be competing for a spot…

Wait did it go away? Still there for me…

So, I want to play a Global 1940 Alpha+3.9 game by forum. Where do I find the ABattlemap to download? I have to download the base program first, then the Global 1940 “module,” then hope my comp doesn’t screw up, then play, correct?

Thanks for helping a n00b play by forum (and yes if you help me at some point you can crush my feeble Barbarossa)

When I look at a post I’ve made, there is a button to click to email me. I’d like this removed (and I’ve seen others without it). How do I go about this?

Thanks for your help

@Spendo02:

Do they function in the same manner then as the pro-allied neutrals? Â Can UK then land its aircraft on Greece?

No. Greece, Yugoslavia, Persia and Brazil are neutral. While they are Pro-Allied, they are still neutral and must be treated as such until Allied land units move in on the NCM and turn those territories into full-fledged Allied territories.
As for the Dutch territories, they are actually Allied to the UK, which is why you can land UK/ANZAC planes on them. That being the case, I personally don’t understand why those territories don’t start out with their incomes part of UK India or ANZAC incomes but have to have land units move there in the NCM to gain that income for UK India or ANZAC. It seems to me like the IPCs for Sumatra, Java and Celebes should already be part of India or ANZAC incomes if they are Allied already. Having UK or ANZAC moving troops there just seems like an extra, unnecessary move.

Well if the DEI were all UK, IIRC (don’t have the map here) UKP would start with 28 income–more than Japan by a small margin. That means that the UK would be able to build up earlier, requiring Japan to make a DOW earlier, bringing US (and its extra $$) into the war earlier.

It would make the game somewhat balanced in OOB, but with Alpha+3.9, game over for Japan.

And note that these are the DUTCH East Indies, not the British East Indies  :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

@Spendo02:

Do they function in the same manner then as the pro-allied neutrals?  Can UK then land its aircraft on Greece?

No; the DEI are an allied territory with the special function that they can be freely taken by UK/ANZAC (or anyone else if they can get there  :mrgreen:)
