Bob_A_Mickelson's AAG40 National Production/Objectives and Setup Charts

i dont want to sound demanding but have you ever considered having a 5 or 10 ipc bonus NO for japan for not entering the war? the reasons are immense and i have seen that suggestion in many places. i can understand if you dont want to because its not official and stuff but once again its ok to release unofficial ones if you think the reasons are good. if you have other reasons not to do it such as time i can understand too

@axisisthebest:

is it maybe possible for you to post an unofficial version of the current alpha setup charts? that way the people who do want to wait for the setup to be finalised can still wait patiently but the impatient people can just get a quick alpha copy because who knows when the setup will be finalised. i mean its a win-win situation, and if the impatient people find that the balance isnt good because they didnt wait for it to be finalised then its their own fault and they are the ones who suffer, the rest wouldnt have anything to lose by you releasing an unofficial version of the alpha setup charts, and the people who had the unofficial charts if it suits them then they can just let it be but if it doesnt they can still wait for the official version. at least that way they can have a version of alpha even if not final but still resembling the final version to play with instead of the original mistake filled setup and not have to constantly check the progress of the finalisation on the internet

There are unofficial ones which I linked to above, but they have been plagarized from Bob’s work.

@cminke:

yeah but i dont want to use plagarised stuff and the font is bad. plus its only for global

the global national production chart requires an A3 page, how about the rest? can they fit on an A4 page? how many setup and global diplomacy charts can fit on an A3?

these charts are so incedible and the fact that your doing this for free is mind numbing especcially when you look at how good these charts are done!

so on one hand i feel bad for asking you this…BUT…did you happen to make a sheet of roundels for eachpower?  the ones that come with the games are always too thin and hard to picck up and worse, the onse that came in the AAP are printed on differnt materaial than the ones that came in my AAE (inconsistancey bugs me too).  i was hoping you had a sheet of roundels that i could print out and than mount onto somehting thicker and easier to pick up and that would be consistatn and enough of each power.

I think Imperious Leader has a download for roundels. 
He states which Avery product to use in order to print them.

Wow thanks for this.

Errata

advanced artillery can support 2 infantry and/or 2 light infantry

please correct the tech chart

enhancement

the battleboard would be nicer if there was a red silouete with all combined and tech developments.

ex: red tac bomber attacking at 4
red jetfighters atacking at 4 and so on

Are you asking my opinion or when I will do updated alpha charts?

both i guess

@Bob_A_Mickelson:

New charts will be posted when Larry’s changes are final. I suppose this means when Larry releases the changes in his official unofficial FAQ.

As far as the new changes I agree that most look quite promising. However, I am a bit concerned that the additional uk troops and government in exile rule will make sea lion too unfavorable. Either change would likely work out okay, but both looks like overkill. Sea lion has never been a guaranteed win even when successful.

The gov’t in exile rule has been removed. There were no extra UK troops anywhere.

Sadly I will probably be playing the game for the first time with the newest Alpha + rules.
