I think Alpha+2 is almost perfectly balanced.
The only bad part, in my opinion, is that Italy looses too much too easy. GB is able to sink most of the Italian fleet AND push him out of Tobruk in her first round. Italy is seriously crippled before it can do anything, and GB is still powerful in the Med after that.
Me and my group, we are thinking about putting the north Italian tactical bomber into South Italy. Hence the Italian can scramble one Aircraft more, if he wants, and GB has to choose between pushing him out of Africa or sinking his Fleet, or be very weak in the case of trying it all.
Moving the Tac is the smallest change possible to balance it more without changing too much of the Setup and thus, the game.

Hey these charts are awesome! Thanks.

In the research chart it should be super not suber submarines.

Chinese symbol Chinese territory.
I’d say if GB liberates one of these, the Chinese would profit.

Hi, a couple of questions to get me ready for tomorrows game:

Since Aircrafts move in NC phase, is it possible for a fighter to land, after a battle, in a friendly neutral taken in that NC phase?

Kamikaze: If the US ends its combat move (1 AC w/ Fighter and Tac) in a SZ with Kamikaze symbol, and Japan attacks and sinks the AC, what happens to the Aircrafts?

Do the Aleutian Islands border Alaska? Can you walk from Alaska to the islands?

Thanks.

Is Alpha 2 finished? Where can i find it?

Thanks for the quick answer!

Can i scramble a fighter to defend a lone transport against an air attack?

I want to make an amphibious assault an TT A, but have to move from TT B over TT C to get there. In TT C is an enemy warship
which i attack the same round with other units from TT D. Is the transport allowed to move through?

In other words:
A transport has to stop an amphibious assault when it encounters an other enemy warship on its way there, even when there is another planned battle right? And it cannot move on afterwards?

Hi all,

I’m from Austria, if someone knows the place (somewhere in Greater Southern Germany, on your battlemaps… :wink:), so please excuse any mistakes in my spelling and/or grammar.  :-)

My group and I have played the OOB setup four or five times now, and in our opinion, the Axis has a good chance to win. So we think, if at all, the setup favors the Allies…

As I read earlier: you guys play one round in about one hour? And after roughly 7 round it’s clear which side wins?
In my experience a full round takes a minimum of 2 hours, and after 4 rounds the winner is clear.
Also i have read some of the tactics proposed here, and I’d really like to show you our tactics sometime because we always seek the quickest way to beat our opponent, including some moves of considerable risk. Therefore we can’t really understand those tactics presented which include round 4 or 5. As we play, a tactic can only be valid for the first round, maybe a “long term” for the second or third round, but after the second everything depends on your initial moves and you luck.
No offence meant.

I overlooked the setup for Alpha+(1. 2  ?  :?) and we really liked some changes(for example the NO’s for the US),but without an actual game played like this, I can’t say if it’s for the better or the worse. I’m hoping for another game (OOB) this week or the one after that, to finalise our Axis tactics, and will then post it for those of you who are interested.

Btw. took me a long time to figure out what all these abbreviations you use mean… but I think I got them now.

Great work so far, this is an awesome game! Forum is great too.

P.s. Krieghund, I guess you name is the German translation for war dog? You are missing an s. Its Kriegshund. Just in case you wanna know.

Bye.
