Global 2nd edition Q+A ( AAG40.2)

[gamerman01]

PGMatt told me on the game thread that Triple A doesn’t allow the use of allied air bases with paratroopers  :|

Notifying Veqryn again….

What is the best way to get into online games of global? I have a table I will be using while playing so I can see map still and use aaa minimally.  I can’t get used to limited vision.

[Last Jack]

Check out the battlemap map skin on triplea. Its under the view tab. It allows you to see way more of the board.

You do know that you can zoom out?  I use 125% icon pieces and zoom to 50-60%, depending on the situation

Hold alt and scroll your mouse button up or down, or go through the view menu.

Thanks Last Jack! This helps out a lot! I was having trouble w/the colors of the maps, units and the numbers of units as well. By unselecting map details, it looks a lot more like Battlemap. Also, like Gamerman said, use unit size at 125% and unzoom map to about 60%. This helps a lot! Thanks all!

[Last Jack]

You are welcome. I can’t seem to find how to change unit colors. Help somebody?

[P-Unit]

Guys, this is the global FAQ thread. Unrelated TripleA discussions should be in a different forum.

[boldfresh]

i’m sure this has been asked but i am not good at searching through all these pages to find it.

i believe that you cannot unlock a pro-allied neutral and then in the same noncombat move, take a tank through that territory to unlock another pro-allied neutral.  ie.  inf, arm in venezuela.  inf moves into brazil to unlock, then tank moves through brazil to unlock argentina.  tripleA allows it, i don’t think it is allowed, which is correct?

thanks

[Cpt. John Miller]

That would not be possible to capture both territories by traveling through the 1st captured territory.  You could take them both if you moved first through a friendly owned territory or by sea, but not by “blitzing” through the initial territory.

[Commando Brado]

Cpt. Miller is correct. BoldFresh, I would have your opponent read the rules on friendly neutrals.

[gamerman01]

You can not move a tank through a friendly neutral that was just activated in non-combat - you are correct.  The presence of the infantry claiming Brazil is actually irrelevant.

It is counter-intuitive, because you can blitz through strict neutrals or unfriendly neutrals.  But it is the rule.

[Cow]

Hey if Russia goes to war with Neutrals. What is the deal with Siberia. They become pro axis too or what?

They say Mongolia is a special exception or whatever. Say Russia wars with Afghanistan to fly to Russia from India. They have not attacked mongolia, but Russia did go to war with neutrals.

Will siberia stay neutral or whatever if USA does the declaration? It seems that way.

If Russia declares war on neutrals it seems to impact mongolia unlike other allied powers doing it.

[Cow]

Also do you actually have to do an attack on a neutral territory in order to fly over Afghanistan?  I understand it as they do not have to do an attack.

If that is the case does siberia turn pro axis as well, despite not being attacked, but still have an unprovoked DOW on them?

[Witt]

Cow: Mongolia only becomes Axis friendly if attacked by Russia.

If Russia (or US) attacks a strict Neutral, Mongolia remains friendly to Russia, unless Russia attacks Korea or a Japanese controlled territory. It would then become strict Neutral and Russia loses its special relationship with it.

You can never fly over a Neutral unless you are attacking it.

[Cow]

So does Russia have to do an attack on a neutral then? He is trying to fly over Afghanistan… technically it is pro axis when he declares war on it.

If I am reading page 11 right. He has to attack Afghanistan then retreat from it if he wants his air in Russia.

Moving into an unfriendly neutral is considered a combat
move and any combat must be resolved during the Conduct
Combat phase (see �Combat Move,� page 12). Before the
neutral territory can be taken control of by the invading
power, all of the neutral�s standing army units must be
eliminated. Air units can�t fly over an unfriendly neutral
unless they are attacking it.

This is super funny.

So if he wants his India air to make it to Russia he has to attack it and then retreat?

[boldfresh]

wrong again cow… wrong again.  :roll:

[variance]

Isn’t Cow correct?  As long as both Russia and UK are at war, either power could declare war on the Neutrals and attack Afghanistan with planes (and maybe some tank/mech units) in order to get those planes from India to Russia or vice versa.  That might be useful to reinforce either capitol in a desperate situation.  Once at war with Neutrals, all allied powers could also fly over Afghanistan without attacking it.  So to defend Moscow, maybe Russia could break the seal on the Neutrals then UK and ANZAC fighters follow suit.

[Krieghund]

You don’t ever declare war on neutral territories - you just attack them.  If Afghanistan were attacked by an Allied power, it would join the Axis, and all other strict neutrals except the Mongolian territories would become pro-Axis neutrals.

Other than that, Cow is correct.  An attack on Afghanistan would allow the surviving planes to retreat to Moscow.

[boldfresh]

krieg, can just the planes that survived the attack get to moscow?  what about other planes that want to fly over afghanistan in noncom?  can they do so if afghanistan still has a standing army?

[Commando Brado]

@Commando:

@Gamerman01:

#2, they become pro-Allied

The allies have to move a non-AAA ground unit in to take control of them

How does this apply to the Mongols? Do they automatically become Russian? Or, does Russia have to move a ground unit(non-AA) into each territory?

Krieg, in your answer above you state that if an Allied power attacked Afghanistan, then it would join the Axis and all other strict neutrals would become Pro-Axis neutrals but Mongolia would not? See the answer I got from Gamerman above, on the previous page. Wouldn’t Mongolia also become Pro-Axis neutral in this example?

Boldfresh, yes, I believe you’re correct in that planes could fly over Afghanistan in non-combat once you’ve attacked…
