Need official ruling…

@cyanheath

Welcome. All depends on what you want in your game. Play ability or more historic.

Yes there is a lack of room on a d6 dice. No room to adjust pieces better. Mostly the Cruiser and Destroyer.

Also you probably should remove your Ad for buoys.

To be fair, this is why you never ever ever send carriers anywhere without a destroyer. The same problem happens if you send a carrier plus fighters to attack submarines. Since the carrier doesn’t roll attack dice and the fighters can’t hit the submarines, you just have infinite rounds of combat until the subs either sink the carrier or the units retreat.

This is also why it is recommend that when playing the pacific side as either Japan or the US, you purchase at least one sub for every carrier that the other side purchases.

You should also never tip your carriers on defense if you have no where for your planes to land, since the attacker will almost always retreat and watch your planes crash into the ocean for free.

Russia gets +3 ipcs for each German, Italian or Pro Axis territory….ie Finland, Bulgaria,Iraq are pro Axis

I’ve been using Most Holy’s Research Fac. rules basically it’s what was listed above but each power can have 4 not 3.

@major_payne:

hi,

how due the tech rules work with alpha 3 rules?

This is different from OOB:

@Alpha:

Research & Development (that have been modified)

Rockets: Your air bases can now launch rockets. During the Strategic and Tactical Bombing
Raid step of your Conduct Combat phase each turn, each of your operative air bases can make
a single rocket attack against an enemy industrial complex, air base, or naval base within 4
spaces of it. This attack does one die roll of damage to that facility. Rockets may not be fired
over neutral territories.

Improved Mechanized Infantry:  Each of your mechanized infantry units that are paired up
with a tank or artillery now has an attack value of 2. Also, your mechanized infantry may now
blitz without being paired with a tank.

Improved Shipyards: Change the IPC cost of cruisers to ‘9’.

@captainhook:

-Do submarines fire a sneak attack every round where a destroyer is not present, or only on the first round?

Every round.

@captainhook:

If the last destroyer is killed, do the sub get to fire a sneak attack?
Sorry for that…

Yes, on the next round of combat after the final enemy destroyer has been removed as a casualty.

You can not make multinational attacks
Therefore the German unit is not placed on the “battle board”
Im sure you have enough of an understanding of the game to not need the battle board, but remember, its also a place. If units cant go to the battle board, they cant be taken as casualties.

@onetthome:

So I’m playing A&A global for the 2nd time and I am noticing a lot of inconsistencies with the rules between both books and even what is written on the board’s mobilization chart. Is there an updated/ revised rulebook I can download?

Use the Europe Rulebook.  The only rules from the Pacific Rulebook that apply to the Global game are the rules on China and kamikazes.  I’m not aware of any problems with the mobilization charts on the boards.  What are you referring to?

@onetthome:

Also, how much does USA collect before it goes into wartime? Europe book says it makes 35 during war so does that mean it makes 5 IPCs and then gets +30? is it +30 for Europe and +40 for global?

In the Europe game, the US collects 35 IPCs when not at war.  In the Global game, the US collects 52 IPCs when not at war (see page 32 of the Europe Rulebook).  Note that the politics rules and National Objectives in the Global game are completely different from those in the Europe game (see pages 33-35 of the Europe Rulebook).
