I find the AI does a much better job on the latest 1942 game. At least as Axis.

I want to clarify, Alpha 3 votes will convert to Alpha 2 if Larry does not give us Alpha 3 until after the tournament starts. However, he should have it out long before the tournament starts, I hope.

Signups will have a new thread once we determine if we want partners (which can be fun, but trying if your partner get the Flu or has to go out of town!) or singles and which ruleset. I won’t even start the thread until mid August at the earliest due to IRL stuff.

Partners would have to partner up before enlisting in the tournament. If there are singles that cannot find a partner, they can elect to be added to a list and I’ll pair them up, first come, first paired. Assuming we go partners not solo.

Teams would be:

Axis:
Player 1: Germany/Italy Player 2: Japan
Allies:
Player 1: England, India, Australia, France Player 2: Russia, America, China

Quebec IC is important if British hold UK but they cannot buy boats near to Englan d(because of Kriegsmarine). In that case UK must buy the canadian navy … if not, the other IC is at SAF, and I doubt that any boats built there can aid in Europe

@Wakrob:

As per my play with A&A1940 Europe, I feel Axis has it very rough in the Global version.

Our game-
G3 takes London after obliterating Brit navel presence in the first two turns. I hadnt realized how many planes could get there.
Japan chooses not to go to war with anyone but Russia until J3.
Italians rolled bad in almost every engagement.

I think slow rolling Japan might have been a bad idea. The money it prevented US from getting seemed more than offset by the easy Dutch/ANZAC National Obj bonus’ the allis got. And Italians never had much luck, Cairo never fell.
But you’d think taking 35 IPC’s from London and pretty much locking UK out of the game on the western hemisphere should be an easy win.
Germany staled out in Russia after taking Leningrad. US eventually staged 7 full transports, 2 full Carriers and a Battleship off Gibralter. Germans 4 Fighters and 4 Tact Fighers guarding London decided to strike first at the fleet and failed. US takes back London next turn easily. Axis player concedes at 1:30am in the morning after about 7 turns.
German had held London for about 4 turns.

My opinion stands that Axis have it very hard in this A&A version.

ARGH!!! You had the game man, you had it! If Germany can knock England out of the war it is very difficult for the Allies to come back from it. Attacking the US navy from England is difficult if not impossible since they can build twice the amount of IPCs you’re making every turn in the Atlantic. You had 8 planes in England, all you had to do was shuck enough infantry there to defend it and you’re golden. Let the Americans be the ones sinking tons of money into transports to retake England while you’re already sitting pretty with your own transports and tons of inf from W. Germany to reinforce. With 8 planes as defense those 7 loaded transports would have had no chance if you’d had a stack of 10+ infantry present.

I’m guessing sorry-bitch-ass Italy was in danger so you felt you had to attack in the Atlantic to save them. It was easier to me to defend against the US Gibraltar threat by reinforcing Italy with my own inf/tanks from W. Germany fora few turns until they get enough infantry made to hold the capital.

@Fishmoto37:

First game of global after six rounds. We averaged about one hour for each round. Two players and first global for each of us. I am having trouble posting more than one photo with each post. So will make three posts for three photos of setup after six rounds. Edit: If I use my sons digital SLR camera I cannot post even one photo.

@Fishmoto37:

@BJCard:

Interesting…

No british land forces in South Africa? I tend to buy at least 2 ground forces down there every turn.

Soviet Battleship survived? If I’m Germany I wouldn’t let it past denmark- hence it is going to probably die.

German Carrier in the med? Interesting. How does Italy have its Battleship? Did you buy one or did the UK not do the Taranto raid?

I purchased the German carrier with two fighters to help Italy defend the Med. No the U.K. did not do the Taranto raid. On G1 took out one battleship, one cruiser, two destroyers and two transports of U.K. Also captured France, Normandy and Yugoslavia. Walked into Finland and Bulgaria on non-combat move. Had 71 IPCs for the second round. I do not know how much more aggressive I can be. I did not lose any planes on G1 but only had 1 sub left.

Allies surrendered after the 9th round as the Axis were out producing them in IPCs. Japan was the big dog with 70 IPCs. Germany and Italy combined had about 85 IPCs. Germany is a real challenge to play as they are really boxed in. Taking Africa seemed to be the key but Japan clearing the pacific of the U.S. fleet and starting to put pressure on the Soviets was a big help.

Rules question…

Yes, one sub can reach it and that one should be moved there. Combine it with a massive move to Carolines and from there you can pick Hawaii, most ANZAC territories, most of DEI, Phillipines, etc.
