@smildgeii said in US Pacific Ocean Movement Restriction:

So the US could if it wanted while at peace put vessels adjacent to Guam?

Yes.

3d6: 2, 2, 4
1d6: 5

@pacifiersboard Sure, that’s fine.

@Me1945 Hey Me1945, Haven’t been on the site much myself the past month. Should we get this game rolling?

@BombsAway Happy Thanksgiving…any ideas when you’ll be able to play?

Sure thing. Thank you so much for playing by the way, out of everything the opponent is the most valuable when playing games 😀

@SuperbattleshipYamato Yeah I get you 100%. Alternate History is a niche interest in the first place so finding other people willing to go down the rabbit hole is always tough.

@JuliusBorisovBeamdog amazing, thanks very much!

@DoManMacgee @VictoryFirst I was about to advocate for dropping the pre-game 12 IPC for Germany, removing a single sub from the Bay of Biscay AND removing an infantry from Romania.

If this has the affect that I think it will, I will not recommend removing the infantry from Romania and instead recommend the removal of the pre-game 12 IPC and single submarine from Bay of Biscay.

@allister

BM4 refers to the “Balanced Mod [4th edition]”. It’s broadly similar to the original Global 1940 with some minor modifications and additions to make it more balanced.

If you’re trying to use one of these for Pacific 1940 2nd edition (no modifications), then you’ll have to do a few things to make it work. You’ll have to ignore the European nations and all the new additions. Keep in mind that the US has significantly fewer national objectives in the Pacific-only map as opposed to the European map (tip: If a national objective mentions a territory not on the board, it’s a good indicator that it’s not in the Pacific-only version). You’ll need to still consult the rules to account for all the changes though.

So to elaborate on what I was calculating here:

“Net TUV swing” is the difference between the Average TUV swing and the Actual TUV swing of each battle. So, a completely average game should have this number as close to 0 as possible. It is more or less equivalent to the Net Pieces that TGC calculated but with the IPC-value of each piece factored in (so -1.00 Net Pieces could mean one 3-IPC infantry or one 15-IPC bomber lost, this would be respectively around -3.00 and -15.00 with Net TUV swing).
So, the battles in the Atlantic generally have more extreme numbers because the naval units are far more expensive than land units.

“Overall TUV swing throughout the entire game” is just a sum of the TUV swings of each battle. This number doesn’t really have an average but it should be compared to other games. It gives a sense for how many IPC worth of units the Germans killed versus how many they lost themselves, or in other words, how much they “gained”.

The names of the calculations might be a bit confusing though, I would rather see the second calculation be called “Net TUV swing”, the first one perhaps “TUV Swing Differential”?

@Trout said in Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion:

Best thing about the HRE is how there are so many different substrategies within overall strategies which differ each game

I agree :)

Edit

Which three are you referring to ?

*Yes, one under-rated part of a Japanese focus on taking the three US (money) islands *

@VictoryFirst

Thanks for the response! I thought the Navies were defeated after you broke through the Middle East and proved inpenetrable in Asia (not helped by my map oversights). While I do think I could’ve made some progress in Spain and liberated London, I felt there was little chance of winning the IPC race once the Soviets grabbed Africa.

I’m open to continue playing. If not, I’m thinking of giving the Armies a 300% IPC multiplier while giving the Navies a 200% IPC multplier (so the Navies have 2/3 of the Armies’ multiplier instead of half) as a way to balance the game (more IPCs means more units, which generally means more fun).

But we’ll continue playing first.

@trogger40

Yes I’m interested in playing A&A. I live in Ringwood. FYI I have not played in a long time and I’m extremely rusty on game play and the rules. But I’m willing to relearn game play.

My email address is Jfrathooch@gmail.com

Hi @Rshewring, i dont’t know if this lot still available but i would like to propose 150$. Please let me know if interested.

Tokyo express does not need a marine. 1 infantry on Japanese destroyers.
