I had 61% in UK but I got lucky and lost fewer planes than expected. New planes bought for second wave of attack on UK won’t be needed either.

Just one thing you need to consider. Adding 33% income to each nation wouldn’t be balanced, it would favor the Allies. Here’s the reasoning.

In Axis & Allies, particularly any version starting in 1942 or later, the Axis have a starting advantage in terms of hardware on the board and positioning, while the Allies have the economic advantage. By increasing everyone’s economy, you would be making the Axis’ starting starting hardware less of a factor and the Allies’ higher economy an even bigger advantage. In order to keep the balance approximately the same as before, I would say you should probably increase the Allies’ total economy by the same amount as the Axis, not by the same percentage. That way, both sides’ advantage as stated previously would become slightly smaller in proportion to the total stuff present in a complete game, and I bet the decreases would be close to equal proportionally.

So for example, if you increase Japan’s economy by 10, Germany by 12 and Italy by 6, that’s a total of 28. You should therefore increase the Allies’ economy by 28 as well, not by 42 as you’re currently proposing.

Personally, to affect the game even less except for making it more compelling to fight for the Pacific (a worthwhile change in any version of Axis & Allies in my opinion), I would only give Japan the 6 IPCs extra on Islands and leave everything else the same for them. I would then increase Germany and Italy proportionally, so Germany would go from 40 to 48 and Italy from 16 to 19. This being a 17-IPC increase for the Axis, I would also give 17 to the Allies, for example 6 to UK, 3 to Russia (which you had already increased by 4 previously) and 8 to USA.

It’s a good idea, and I for one would play something like that. To me, 1940 Global is just a badly designed game, with way too many exceptions (NOs among others) that add nothing to the game except for making it more historically accurate. Personally, I don’t want to play a historical game, I want to play a strategy game, and 1940 Global, with all its kinks, just isn’t a very good strategy game. It lacks in simplicity and elegance. A good strategy game (e.g. chess) has few rules and deep strategy, not the other way around.

All right then!

Do you realize that on my next German turn, I now have the choice between taking London (94% odds) or Egypt? Would you like to change your purchases and/or non-combat moves to prevent this? Otherwise the game might be almost over already. As things stand, the best you could do to prevent the fall of London would be to land your American bomber there and block with your destroyer, bringing the odds down to 42%. I also have the option of buying 6 transports and taking London one turn later.

Actually if you don’t mind (since I haven’t rolled any dice yet), I’d like to change my purchases and get a destroyer instead of 3 INF. Here’s the new save game, awaiting your decision for the sub.

Zombie69

I forgot to say (in case you can’t open the save file) that I’m attacking the UK fleet with 2 subs, 2 fighters and a bomber.

Zombie69

I just noticed that you didn’t check the box for interceptors. Do you want me to restart the game and edit it to its current state to let the game handle interceptors by G40 rules or should we continue and roll them in the forum by 42.2 rules?

Zombie69

Will your Russian sub submerge?
