go to Hobby Lobby and find some plastic organizers. Thats what I use and its great!!

@Pvt.Ryan:

No I ment for the module. Also are ALL air and naval bases on the board actually there? Plus ANZAC has no ships on my setup.

Yes, all the air and Naval bases are true……some territories could have had air bases but I had to limit it to just the major bases. This is why leningrad doesn’t have one. I fixed this but haven’t posted the updated charts.

Sea zone 99: 1 DD, 2 subs, 1 Transport

Still playtesting game. The going is slow do to work so I have recruiited some help. ETA, Hopefully, June 1st.

@Pvt.Ryan:

So what do we use for Por Allied units?

I took some U.K. pieces and painted them Beret Green.

Sorry dawg!  It’s good you brought that up, I’ll definetly clarrify this in the rules.

@Sgt.:

Thanks for all the answers.

I’m just planning my first round as Japan and had a question.

1. Can the banzai attack only be used by infantry or can veteran/naval infantry use it as well? If yes is there a max to how much the +1 can stack up? For instance can a naval infantry attack on a 6 in the first round of combat during an amphibious assault on a banzai attack when paired with artillery?

This rule is for regular nfantry only. These units are attcking in a mannor that negates any other combined arms….such as being matched with artillery. Ex.  If japan is attacking with 5 infantry and 1 artillery…then 1 infantry is at a +1 combined with the artillery and 2 infantry are at a +1 designated banzai attacks and the 5th in is attacking at normal value.

1 more thing. I think there was something mentioned about Paratroopers and transporting inf with bombers! I know this rule is a little vague, so here we go.

1. Bombers can drop Paratroopers in CM from Airbase only.
2. Bombers can transport infantry at 1/1 in NCM and both have to start from the same territory. Infantry has to load on the plane from a territory that has and airbase.
3. Bombers transporting infantry can’t land in a territory that has been taken on the same turn.
4. Bombers that have bombed or dropped paratroopers in combat move cannot transport in NCM.
5. All bombers are subject to AA fire as normal.

@TITANS:

hi Tiger, I was the one who ask tons of question to Wonko. :-)
good work, you have. support to you.

questions time.

4. If Holland is not captured on Round 1 can the UK still non-com into the DEI and capture the territories?Only if the Dutch have entered the war.
–> Rule I.5 need revision then.
4a.) It seems to imply Dutch has its own diplomatic status, right? if German has not declare war on Dutch G1(and possibly G2) and Japan has not declare war on anyone, then Dutch remains neutral. UK can’t non-com into DEI nor capture that money. Am I correct?
4b.) If the answer is yes to 4a, Dutch remains neutral, collects and move unit in the same turn as UK, but cannot involvement in any combat, unless being declared war on. Is it correct?
4c.) Can UK declares war on Polish and Dutch behalf? on Germany and, starting from UK3, on Japan?

This is my correction/clarrification on the Dutch rule…

Neutrals
            a  Poland is treated as a neutral country in which war is declared on by Germany. Poland is allied with the U.K. and France. If for some reason Germany attacks France and not Poland, or Poland survives attack on turn 1 then Poland can become a playable country. Poland can be played 2 ways if this scenario happens. (1) Poland moves and collects income (IPC’s on the board) on same turn as the UK. (2) Poland is absorbed by UK and all units and IPC’s are absorbed into the UK(commonwealth) Army.
b  Pro Allies all pro allied countries become active when occupied by any other allied unit or units. All Pro allied countries that are activated are absorbed into the occupying countries army. Pro allied countries receive no income and are controlled by the occupying country.
c  Pro Axis all pro axis countries become  active when occupied by any other axis unit or units. All pro axis counties except for Iraq can collect an income and build units as if they have a minor IC. Remember that the Minor axis countries have set incomes that may not be the same as the IPC value of their country. Siam does not collect an income but gets 1 infantry per turn after it is activated by Japan. Argentina can only be activated by German occupation.
            d Strict Neutrals strict neutral countries cannot be swayed pro axis or pro allied under any circumstance except for Spain, Turkey and Sweden.                             1.Spain will turn pro axis if France has fallen and Germany has control of either                Leningrad, Stalingrad, or Moscow.
2.Sweden will turn pro axis if Norway and Finland are controlled by Germany and has control of Moscow.
3.Turkey will turn pro allied when all of Africa and Greece is controlled by the allies.

e  Dutch Is neutral and is comprised of the territories of Holland and all the Dutch East Indies. Holland may not be entered by the allies unless Germany has declared war on the Dutch. If Germany has not declared war on the Dutch and Paris falls under German control; the Dutch turn pro allied and Holland and the DEI can be entered by the allies.

5. ICs. so you say ICs can only be placed on one original soil in the reply. is it a new decision? AAG40 has not have this restriction on minor IC and it is not mentioned in your rulebooks yet.
5a.) what you said is, Allies can only build IC on their original soil. Axis can only build IC on their original soil + Pro-Axis + Minor Axis country. right?

@Tigerman77:

If Poland is not attacked or survives the attack from Germany on round 1 it becomes Pro-Allied, does that refer to Warsaw or all of Poland? If only the units in East Poland survive the attack can they attack Germany (or Russia if they survive a Russian attack on Round 1)?

you’d matter as well end the game if Germany cant take Poland on the 1st turn, but the UK player will represent the pols if (in the rare chance that they dont get taken)Only if Warsaw isn’t taken. If Warsaw is taken Poland as a whole is defeated.

so, let me summarize.
if Warsaw is NOT taken in G1, for whatever the reason,
 then Poland join Allies as part of UK. it can move, it can attack, it can produce, it can collect.
if Warsaw is taken in G1, which it should normally,
 then Poland is “defeated” and becomes a Pro-Allies neutral. it can’t do anything. Any Allies can walk-in to activate the remaining Polish territory and army, even the Soviet. (??!!)

Do you endorse this summary?

I would agree with everything you say. The only exception should be the Soviets. Since they are technically still neutral they can’t take over a Pro-Allied neutral territory. Just like in history, Russia should have to fight for any piece of Poland that it wants.

I would even go so far as to say that if Germany does not take out Warsaw on the first round and Poland becomes a “Minor Allied”, then Russia can invade if it wants to. An unlikely scenario true, but good to allow I think.

Also Tiger, if you want any help in revising/clarifying the rules I would be more than willing to create a draft based on the answers in this thread. Just let me know!

Russia starts neutral and cannot declare war on any European country, except for Poland, Baltic States and Finland, or any other neutral not in Europe until at full war production.

This could be worded better,. Russia can declare war on any neutral not in Europe and can declare war on Finlan, Poland , and Baltic States.

As far as Warsaw is concerned, if Germany takes Warsaw on the first turn then all Polands forces are removed just like in the old AA rules.

@Sgt.:

Lol, will the questions never cease.

1. If Japan attacks a US seazone with a naval base for the first attack the special rules state that the naval/air bases can’t return fire for the first round of combat. So that means no scrambling or naval base AA fire for the first round. But can the US conduct naval base AA fire and scrambling for the second round of combat?

Yes, treat the second round of combat as it was the first round. Remember ships dont get to firs back until round 3

@cminke:

can a neutral(take Russia for example) atteck a minor(finnland) i would assume so.

Yes, its in the rules exactly who Russia can attack while neutral

Its cool on the questions. I am working on another game and map right now so it may be another day or 2 before I can get you answers. This really helps for future games in knowing how to word the rules. Thanks for your patience!!!

@cminke:

do you have a faq yet?
do you have a "nation card"that tells each playey what there limited to, and NO’s

the setup charts have the nation specific info on them. Look at my setup charts and if there is some information missing or needed let me know

@De:

ICBMs use reular plastic AA gun Pieces. You can also take U.S pieces from Revised and use them for African Tanks, Artillery, and Fighters as an optional rule. All fo South America and Sweden is Pro-Western Neutrals. Iraq is Pro-East Neutral.

Go to Historicalboardgaming.com and get the V-2 rockets for the ICBM’s

@Sgt.:

Starting up another game and a player had almost as many questions as I had.

1. If a minor axis power is conquered, does the conquering power collect the IPCs in the bank?yes
2. What territory in Finland has to be captured before it is considered “conquered”?Helsinki
3. The US is limited to moving in a US held seazone prior to going to war. Does a US convoy zone count?The U.S. units have to end their turn in a U.S. held territory or sea zone, this includes convoy boxes.
4. If Holland is not captured on Round 1 can the UK still non-com into the DEI and capture the territories?Only if the Dutch have entered the war.
5. “Rule II 1. Industrial Complex states that Pro-Allied countries cannot place IC’s in their country, when activated they are absorbed into the occupying countries’ army and income.” Is that referring to Yugoslavia losing it’s factory if liberated by an Ally before and Axis? Or does that mean that you can’t build IC’s in Pro-Allied countries after liberating them? But can you build factories in Pro-Axis countries? What about allied powers’ territories that have been liberated while their capital is controlled by the enemy, can you build factories there?Remember that Pro-Allied, Pro-Axis, and Minor Axis coutries are in a neutral state until activated. For game balancing purposes once the Pro-allied territories are entered by the allies they are considerd part of the allied army. The territory is not an  original territory so an IC cannot be placed. Pro Axis and Minor Axis on the other hand can have an IC placed in their territory. This rule is strictly to help balance the game.
6. If Japan declares war on Russia can it no longer play it’s turn before Russia on the turn it declares war? Once Japan and Russia are at war Japan has to make its turn after Russia.
7. When Germany first attacks Russia it can select one territory to surprise attack, can it select a sea zone? No, just a territory.
8. Do the strat bombing rules function exactly the same as G40 (except for the different attack/defense values)?yes
9. Are the following linked?
Quebec – Nova Scotia no
Labrador – Newfoundlandno
Belfast – Scotlandno
Greece – Corintineno
Sicily – Tarantono
11. The Pripet Marshes are semi-impassable, I’m assuming that means that aircraft can fly over?yes

Thanks again for all your answers!

Also, just noticed that there is no border between Nova Scotia and Quebec.

Your opinion matters!!

I’m working on a project right now, but if anyone wants I can make this a printable map. If anyone is untreated let me know.

@Sgt.:

A few more questions  :-D

1. Does Communist China have any starting IPCs?no Nationalist China doesn’t so it would make sense that the commies don’t get it either.
2. Does Italy get the NO for no allied surface warships in the Med even if it’s not at war?only after they join the axis
3. Does FEC get the NO for owning Calcutta, Hong Kong, Singapore even if it’s not at war?FEC will get this NO because they are at war with Germany!
4. If a capital is captured do the IPCs go to the bank or to the victor?I will clear this up in my next rule revision. The conqouring nation will collect the money and not the bank.
5. Are Mexico and Eire Pro-Allied?No, they are strict neutral

All Vichy IPC’s go to Germany. Vichy do not collect income.

The Kirishima just about sank the South Dakota until the USS Washington entered the battle. Kirishima a BC and SouthDakota a Battleship. Yea the BC is outgunned aainst a BB but in this battle a BC did go toe to toe with a BB and for all intents and purposes won!
  Really if we are talkin about pieces from a historical standpoint the Battleship was made obsislete by carriers and carrier tactics anyway! There were very few BB vs BB battles anyway! The battleship was limited to landing force protection/shore bombardment.
