@MacMan131:

So…

I´m trying it out.

all i have to say is:  :evil:

1 question about the tech ¨Super Carriers¨

Can they hold only 1 strategic bomber, or more?

@oztea:

Post something?

I muddled around with this idea before
And I used slightly less powers than others do.

USA, NATO, SEATO vs USSR, Warsaw Pact, CHINA
That being
Green, Tan, Grey vs Red, Black, Orange

The other colors, French Blue, Italian Brown and Chinese Green represented Pro-West, Pro-Communist, and Neutral respectively
But here is the kicker……

Territories that weren’t firmly held by one of the major powers…had infantry of multiple colors. Representing how it was aligned.
For instance, Cuba had 1 blue, 2 Green, and 3 Brown.
The mechanic being that when you attack, you get the pieces slanted to your side, and the others fight you.
So lets use as an example, French Indochina.
Lets say 2 blue, 2 green and 4 brown start there.
Thats a pretty significant pro soviet slant.

Another mechanic was that during your turn you could buy weapons for your rebel forces.
The cost was price of unit+territory value.
And you can only buy one per territory per turn.

Lets say the Soviets wanted to incite a rebellion in French Indochina.
So they buy the rebels there a Tank.

If you were ready, you could initiate a combat in areas you were investing in, this in addition to other normal combats.
If your rebels win, you take over the territory.

For the West, the blue forces stay put.
For the Communists, you could pay 1 IPC per unit to transform rebels to your power.
As a bonus for the West, they could buy “government forces” at the base price of 3 IPC per Infantry…but they are Green neutral men.
So the West can stabilize these areas. And the Commies could transform the rebels into communist armies, willing to expand.

---

Time frame would be Korean War
Eastern Germany would be co-occupied by Western and Soviet forces.
The powers would not start at war.
But Korea would start with a strong Soviet slant…so if the West doesn’t invade, then the Soviets can win it in a proxy battle.

That´s intersting. I like that!

@wittmann:

Are things  being set up for a new A&A game? Dare we hope!

At least, i hope the newest game is 1 without America. Nothing against them, but EVERY game released from A&A had american forces. I´m getting tired of them.

@Cow:

Almost 210 pages of FAQ… That is pretty funny.

and 3133 replies…

Let me add some more:

IJN= Imperial Japanese Navy
USN= United States navy
India Crush= Japanese strategy to capture calcutta by J3

A2, A3: Alpha 2, Alpha 3, etc etc. Official setups made by Larry Harris. (with the newest one being A3.9)

@zanetheinsane:

I always found that silly, because nobody ever liberates France. Even the NO for North America isn’t worth it, because if you have say Normandy, Southern France as America (which is very easy to do), you already have 5 IPCs and the minor factories.

Liberate France and you’re not really gaining any IPC, you lose those factories as America, and you give Germany or Italy a good chance at grabbing France’s IPCs with a recapture.

Not sure there’s really a good upside there because you can possibly also have the three French territories in N.Africa very easily for another 3 IPC. At that point you would just be losing IPC, even with the NO.

I do like the France Troop Bonus but 12 IPCs worth of troops really might not be a big enough incentive. Does anyone liberate France in their Global games?

I realize it’s silly to give up 5 IPC, but has anyone played as the Axis and captured France but ignored Normandy and Southern France? Because technically if you never captured them as the Axis then they would remain French, thus the Allies could never land there and “capture” the factories, giving them that foothold in Europe. You’re also denying the Allies that future 5 IPC. You may not be getting that 5 IPC for G2-4, but it’s offset somewhat by the cost of any units you would lose taking those two territories (which I realize isn’t a lot, but it does factor in).

You could either leave the French units or strafe them with aircraft and 1-2 infantry and retreat (risky because you could either take the territory accidentally or lose planes).

I don´t think this is a good move. I´ve once ignored normandy, leaved holland empty, he moved 1 french inf into holland, i attacked it with 2 tanks. the inf hit TWICE my tanks DID NOT HIT AT ALL  :x

The allies do not get the factories, but a free foothold without having to fight for it.

@wittman:

Well said Loz. Totally agree.

@Mannstein:

Another stupid nerdy question:

It seems that “Spring 1942” is a bit off… Should be december 1941? The germans are standing on the doorstep of Moscow, but the russians are ready for counter, the japanese are just about to attack Pearl,

Look at the dutch east indies, philipines and the solomons. (and wake) All japanese marker.

@Gargantua:

Miami is much better than he leads on Tiger.  Watch yourself.

Thanks for the warning.

I´m fine with that.

I´m not new with AAG40, but i am not the best player of all.

Do you want axis or allies? I prefer axis, but if you want axis, i´m fine with that.

If you´re interested, leave a message here or PM me.

I have no preference about setup or side. (axis or allies)

@MadPup77:

You don’t have to wait a turn to hit Japan. You place them, next turn they’re in SZ 6. You place them in SZ 10, next turn Hawaii, next turn SZ 6.

-MadPup77

If you put a NB in Alaska, they can move in 1 turn into SZ 6, via SZ 8 and SZ 7.

It´s Manchuria.

Posting to keep track of this VERY interesting thread  :mrgreen:

@Hobbes:

And let the games begin :D

Can´t say anything better.

Ok, thanks.

Can I build on ICs in the same turn as i capture them?

Axistiger13, live in holland, play AAG40, BOTB, GCNL and Memoir 44. I have D-Day, but i don´t play it.
