Global 40 tech

We have also revised the event and espionage section from what is posted after we playtested a few times. There was some imbalance and it was revised to reflect that. The events and espionage sections could be omitted if only tech section was desired.

@Boldfresh:

honestly, i think this game is awesome with it’s CURRENT setup.  i feel like the allies need nothing.

I don’t see how the axis can lose in this setup if the allies receive nothing.

@robbie358:

Again, I’m looking for:

'42.2 “new” chips '41 “paper” chips Japan control markers from '40.2

I have to trade:

'40.2 “old” chips painted P-40

I will give you every cardboard chip I have from both copies of '41 for one of the flying tigers

The polling shows an axis favorite as of right now. 4 people voted axis strongly 8 axis slightly 8 allies slightly.

A sub bid for UK makes UK1 smoother against italy sz97. I don’t play LL games without that bid, I’ll just take axis or do something else.

Bidding is a ritual that decides who plays what, so bidding for allies makes sense.

You can buy small flying bases from games workshop for $4.50 each….
They are pretty good…kind of big on the bottom though…check them out!

It just occurred to me that it’s possible, if very unlikely, for a literal draw to occur, meaning a situation in which neither side has the ability to win according to the game’s rules.

If every capital in the game is taken by the opposing alliance, then no one has won but all sides have lost the ability to continue producing units. China doesn’t matter because their units are incapable of achieving Allied victory conditions due to ACME walls. If this occurs and all existing land units are destroyed or isolated due to loss of transports, then no side could possibly win because no side could conquer any new territory. Such a game would undoubtedly be a thing of legend.

A huge thanks for this.  I hadn’t gotten around to making an IPC excel sheet for my group and it looks like I won’t have to thanks to you.  Great job.

I love Ping pong, but A&A is also a love of mine too, lol.
