Will the Atlantic and Pacific in AA40 Global be balanced

eww world war one? thres no tanks, subs, OR bombers in WWI just chemical warfare…

[Guest]

There were tanks at the end of the war.
Subs have been around since the American Civil War.
And bombs were dropped from planes and zeppelins in WWI

[idk_iam_swiss]

those are all uniqe exceptions and not the rule. look I like the idea. I just dont think it would make for fun gameplay

[Guest]

Try the Great War from Triple A and then say that.

WWI would be fun but WWII was truly a global war, WWI was mostly fought in Europe while WWII was all over the world.

Just give me a mapboard and plastic military pieces and I am happy.

[maverick_76]

I could send you cardboard and pebbles of different colors and sizes, would that work?

[Guest]

I dont think so. :-D

[maverick_76]

ROFL  :-o

[Guest]

Maybe I could use those for Chinese Checkers

@Brain:

And I too would like the us to be have 2 incomes one for the Pacific and one for the Atlantic theatres.

I think forcing the USA to split the incomes would go against what I think Larry Harris A&A Idea is… I think the official rules will let you combine the US money in some way… USA money is USA money. I do think the game play won’t give you much wiggle room to shift all the income one way or another.

[Guest]

You could be right.

@Upside-down_Turtle:

I don’t think US will need to “mix” income.  We know Western US is 10 and 50.  We can postulate the Eastern US will be 12 and 60.  That’s 110, + Central US (6) + Alasks (2) + Hawaii (1) + Mexico (2) + Brazil (3) + Cuba (1) + Phillipiness [typo?] (2) + Pannama (1) = 128 IPCs!!! Forget KGF or KJF, it’s Kill Everyone First!!!

everybody will have huge ammounts of IPC
but i think in earlier games USA is overrated with militairy force and underrated in terms of IPC

[questioneer]

Excellent- Gorshak +1 also- I’ll post this on Larry’s site for him to see, this may help balance or at least give a more historical G40 set up. :-)

Remember that some things have to be altered for the sake of game balance.
