Blind A/A

I love the idea for a Europe 1939 game, 3 individual blocks with own specific victory conditions.

Player 1, the Axis with Germany and Italy, separate economies but move and attack together.

Player 2, the Commies, USSR aka Russia, joined with China in the global game.

Player 3, the democratic western allies USA, UK, France, separate economies but move and attack together.

I believe this thread below maybe looking for some ideas here and concept such as “double dipping”.
So I bumped it to reactive this TT income bonus thread.

Anyone know of a place to pick up these units for play on the classic board? Also is there a post within the forum that has a the implementation of the rules. for the Cruisers and Artillery.

Go to historicalboardgaming.com, he has alot of roundels to choose from.

You need to do the Axis Italian fasces symbol

Canada maple is post war

Dutch roundel was an orange triangle from 1940

Hungarian cross should be a square

Chinese star should be yellow

Full roster of WWII roundels are featured on my WIP card designs:

_I love this idea , it is very accurate historic wise and also adds a lot of new tactics and limitations to the game , I endorse the upgrading idea mentioned by the guy who posted before me and would like to hear his stats and such  8-)but I battle tested this rule yesterday  and it worked great, I will be using this rule from now on for sure _

It only takes a few days to build airfield so why pay extra cost for that?
There was already airbase everywhere in the pacific (Except Guadacanal and New Guinea island)
so it’s useless.

I was thinking of allowing fighters to intercept w/ radar along w/ the bonus to AA.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but before British radar stations were fully operational, the Germans could achieve relative surprise, as they would constantly change their attack routs, thus RAF interception was rare, and almost required an unlucky running into a patrol.  It was not until radar stations were fully operational that fighters could be directed directly to intercept the Luftwaffe.

Also, it wasn’t long after the Germans discovery of Britain’s advantage that they established their own radar defenses, which considerably contributed to the high casualty rate among allied bombers.

Thus, I think adding fighter interception to the radar tech effectively demonstrates it’s historical key role in the development of a defensive air combat command and control.

Finally, I’ve heard some say that radar is too weak, since “AA never hits anything anyway”.  Besides, the enemy can always counter w/ fighter escorts.

IMO, keeping the Japanese focus on the American threat and the Chinese irritant is the preferred way to keep Japan out of Moscow… pretty much the way if happened historically.

If we find those two factors consistently being so minor that strategic adventurism prevails for the Japanese player then I’d lean towards beefing up his Pacific opponents versus “treaty handcuffs”.
