Final Global setup!

Incredible,
+2=pro allies
+3=pro allies
+3.5=pro axis
+3.9=pro allies

No experienced player will ever lose England again, and Germany’s only option seems to be a drive toward Moscow (WOW, I just experienced a flash back from 20 years ago). At first glance, it’s back to the drawing board, although I will reserve any pessimistic views until I play these changes a few times. Accualy, I’m playing Germany this Saturday, and I’m planning a G1 attack on the whole eastern front as a violent protest for killing sealion (I’m sure that’s what Larry wanted to see all along, to get Russia into the game earlier). I may be wrong, so I will try not to judge, but as soon as we all spend a half year creating new strategies to win with the axis, they might throw a monkey wrench in those efforts too.

I always think of that line in the movie “8 men out” where the journalist says “their thinking of ruling out your spit ball, might make things a lot harder for the pitchers next year” and the white sox player replied “every year is hard for us pitchers”.

@ghr2:

why they change some french units in paris to uk ones?

I guess they no longer liked the idea of removing all the UK Units from French territories after alpha+3.5. Looks more colorful this way, and they keep the historians happy.

Move the French cruiser in 112 to 110.
Move the UK cruiser in 112 to 111.
Move the German cruiser and transport in 113 to 114.
Add 1 UK mechanized infantry and 1 French infantry to United Kingdom.
Add 1 UK infantry and 1 AA gun to Scotland.
Change 1 French tank and 1 French artillery in France to equivalent UK units.
Add 1 AA gun to India (total of 3 now)

Change the Soviet “Spread of Communism” NO to “3 IPCs for each original German, Italian, or pro-Axis neutral territory that the Soviet Union controls.”

I believe those are the finalized changes.

And add 1 AA gun to India, bringing the total to 3.  (from KH, later in the linked thread)

Get out those parkas boys, I hear Moscow is cold this time of year…

Wich version of G40 module is needed to open your file? I cannot open it…

However, this is not confirmed yet. It needs a oficial thread in LH site. Man, how I hate DLCs for phisical boardgames  :-P

i cannot open it either. it only shows a white screen… :(

YAAAAY!

OK, now it works. But I’m not very happy with this setup, 11 inf and a mayor IC for Berlin seems too much to me … probably gives advantage to Axis. And Germany has a minor IC at Ukranie as well  :-P

As this was a public playtest effort, there are two kinds of people: those who participated and those who shouldn’t complain about the results.

Thanks to all of those who participated!

Can’t open it either…but the changes listed are all the changes, right?

A rare show of emotion, I LOVE IT.

So there will not be any more Alpha’s or setup changes in the future?  This is the final version which will be released in the second print?

Don’t you think it’s a bit early for that kind of statement ?

Since Russia can attack Germany as soon as UK falls, maybe we are going to see  more G4 Sealion with less than 13 transports…

Perhaps, but I’ve always had an extreme personality. If sealion is still on the table, it might be a round or two later, with more resources required, and more loses taken.

Thanks to you and Larry to let the community help.

Lol.

But you are right.

There are 2 kinds of people:  those that will buy the next Axis & Allies game and those that won’t.

Their are actually three kinds of people in the world… @#$%s, !&()s and aholes…

You know where im going with this if you’ve ever been fortunate enough to watch “Team America: World Police”

:lol:
