Need to find Copy of AAE1940 rules

@My:

Hello, everyone! I’ve commited some errors.
Can someone help me to resolve all. I’m playing for Axis

Take this with a grain of salt, because I am absolutely trash at G40 to the point where I don’t really bother playing League Games or anything.

However, you can do the following to buy yourself some more time, at least:
Germany:

Take your remaining navy + all available air for (I spy 2 FTR, 1 TAC, 1 BOMB) and wipe out SZ112. You should be able to win while only losing naval units.

Take the subs from SZ93(? Can’t tell because of the glare, but the one off Southern France) and take out the lone French Destroyer off Egypt. The subs have 3 movement range because of Italy’s naval base in South France, so you can reach.

Take as many land units as you think you need (no air units) and retake West Germany

Consolidate your troops on the Eastern front and gradually fall back. You’re probably going to lose this game unless the Soviets make a mistake, but you might as well retreat and consolidate your forces instead of just giving up.  Who knows! Maybe your opponent will get scared when you destroy the Royal Navy and either make a mistake or concede.

Build mostly INF/ART and get ready for a defensive slugfest on the Russian Front.

Italy:

Build another TT or two ASAP. You need to get troops to Africa as its too late in the game to bother with the “can opener” strategy.

If the UK keeps that Bomber on Malta after you’ve built your Transports, take Malta (for the sole purpose of getting the UK Bomber out of the Mediterranean).

Alternatively, take the Bomber and everything else from Africa and make a play for Egypt.  Odds aren’t amazing (IT: 7 INF/2 ART/1 MECH/1 TANK/1 FTR/1 BOMB Vs. UK: 7 INF (6 UK+1 FR)/2 ART/1 MECH/2 TANK), but the Battle Calc gives you ~64% chance to win with Italy keeping a Tank + the air units.

My point here is that clearing the UK’s Atlantic Fleet AND taking Egypt AND building a fleet to consolidate Italy’s hold on Africa will force the UK to choose between continuing with their harassment of Germany in Europe Vs. building up in Africa to deal with Italy. No matter which choice UK makes, it will give one of the Axis countries some breathing room. If UK focuses on Africa, Germany can commit 100% to fighting the Soviets, and possibly regain the initiative. If UK focuses on Germany, Italy can gobble up IPCs in Africa and become a monster in its own right.

Hopefully you didn’t already surrender, there’s still a small sliver of life left in this game for the Axis.

If you haven’t found it yet, go to HistoricalBoardGaming.com (sponsor of AAA.org!).

They have copies.

Welcome to A&A ccasey!!

what you do is you buy troops
you do your combat move if you win the territory you raise your ipc amount up as many numbers as the territory says
then at  the end of your turn you look at the National Production Chart and Collect that amount for that country
your countries DO NOT share there money’

Keep Playing

got-cha…

@Detuite:

Ok I have copied the alpha rules do you recomend them for further game play. and thanks for your promped answer.

I do recommend them(alpha PLUS, which is more balanced than alpha). Larry ahs also posted a Med setup change. if you need it, I can paste it here. Try both out and see which one you like.

they’re like regular infantry, but can do 2 steps (and blitz if accompanied by a tank)

No.  The transport must be accompanied for its entire move in order to be “escorted”.

@Dany:

I think a sea lion would have less than 10 % chance of success against a cautious UK.

The first turn you sink everything in the North Sea and move your fleet to sz 112 (in 111 the UK can will be able to block an invasion as you won’t be able to kill all his ships. With luck you should be able to kill everything that’s can be a problem for you in turn 2 w/o loosing any planes. You also need to kill the fleet of Canada so they can’t bring extra units to England. You land all your planes within reach of the UK. You mop up France and other places with land units. Build is 1 CV (needed to defend your fleet in range of the RAF and the Gibraltar fleet (with is very unlikely one will be able to take out) and 1 TRS (could build a bmb instead but I think the extra hit is usefull and there are already to many planes that can be shoot down by the AA).

The UK places one ship to block ur shore bombard and build 7 inf and 2 art (or 3 inf and 5 art if he is brave). Also lands his TAC in the UK.

Ur turn 3, you attack with 2 tanks, 2 inf and 8 planes. He defends with 9 inf, 2 art, 3 figs 1 tac an 1 aa. The chanse of success is less than 10 %.

Might be better to fake and attack and then not doing it, just building an CV more or less forces the UK to build inf the first turn and allows the german to keep destroying some fleet.

You’re doing this wrong.  Germany can also build 2 transports G1 instead of 1 in addition to the carrier.  Try reading the Sealion invasion thread.

Also something we’re thinking about: attacking Britain G1 to wipe out the poorly protected RAF with 7 air units, building a defensive fleet with a CV and 2 TRNs on SZ 112 G1 (with the 2 fig, 1 bs, 1 cru, and 1 trn already there), then sacrificing the 3 transports G2 to invade Scotland with 6 land units, forcing the Brits to divide their land forces for a G3 naval crush.  G2’s build should be monster if nothing else since it contains French IPCs and Germany’s NO.
