Generally pacific builds consists of a 2 to 1 ratio of subs-destroyer. Following turn is 5-6 bombers. This forces Japan to start building fleet instead of troops for India/China crush.
I just had to give som additional thumbs up fo9r this comment :D Buying other combat ships than subs, dds (Or CW + ftrs) is rarely correct. the 2 to 1 ratio shos that sean knows how fodder works and how it is the most important thing in these battles.
The only reason to stop buying the subs is if japan for some reason dont respond with fleetbuilding and only buys planes instead. But then you should win anyways :D
which is why i said that it didn’t work against a too planeheavy japan. on theory, the DDs + other surface ships ofc needs to be enough to stop all the planes of japan + 2 rounds of plane only builds of japan.
What would prevent japan from attacking your fleet of subs-destroyers with air and a few destroyers. With 20+ planes they can whipe out your whole fleet with minimal losses as subs cant even hit the planes.
I normaly go for a carrier heavy fleet followed by subs destroyers for attacking power. Ideally i want my carriers to bait an early attack from japan that i can crush in the counter and get his carriers and BB out of the way so anzac and UKP can clean up the rest.

I have two quick questions:
1. Can America go for tech before they are at war?
2. Can France declare war on Japan at any time and does that affect any other nation or bonus? -
I have two quick questions:
1. Can America go for tech before they are at war?
2. Can France declare war on Japan at any time and does that affect any other nation or bonus?1, yes remember they have less income before at war and tech is optional rule only
2, no -
Q1 European Rulebook p. 10 and 37: The US may declare war at the beginning of their Collect Income phase of the 3rd turn.
So can they then collect 25 IPCs bonus for their national objective on their 3rd turn, during that same collect income phase.Q2 ER p. 34: The Great Britain European economy collects IPCs for all territories on the Europe map, except it gets Western Canada (1) and the pacific economy gets West India (2). We have enough players that 1 just plays Euro-UK, the other just plays Pac-UK.
So I assume that the pacific UK player controls the infantry in West India.
If the Pac-UK player hops an infantry on to transport in sea zone 39 and lands him in Persia, who controls those activated infantry, and more importantly, who gets the 2 IPCs? Or if Pac-UK conquers Ethiopia or Iraq, who gets the IPCs? -

It can, and it does not.

@Imperious:
I haven’t seen any traffic on this (but I probably missed it) but there are a few errors in the above links. I discovered this while setting up our first Global game in a long time.
The following items are not included in the typed out list, but do appear on the box tops:
For the Japanese:
JAPAN - 2 Strategic Bombers, Air Base, Naval Base, Major Industrial Complex
MANCHURIA - 2 Tactical BombersFor the Chinese:
KWEICHOW - 2 InfantryThat is all. Carry on.

According to the new rules, does the US start with minor or major industrial complexes for Global 1940 2nd ed?

Minor for Global (revisions to the setup and rules for Global are located in the rule book). Major for Europe only - which is the setup printed on the boxes.

While looking up if moving the surviving UK fleet to SZ 109 would stop the convoy disruption from 2 subs that sank the destroyer and transport there on G1, I noticed a misprint in the Europe Rulebook, page 24. The 2nd exhibit says the UK sub in SZ 97 would cost Italy 2 IPCs and could cost Germany 2 IPCs if still there on Germany’s turn. Isn’t that the old rules and it should now say the sub gets to roll 2 dice on both the Italian’s and German’s turn?
The rules just say a hostile warship has to be in the sea zone to disrupt convoys, even if friendly ships are sharing the location. So even if I combat move a cruiser and battleship in from SZ 110 and the subs submerge, and then build a destroyer on top of them, those pesky subs still get to drain my income. :-(
If anyone can point out how to counter that on UK1, please let me know. I also had 2 more subs doing the same thing in SZ 106.

Does convoy disruption in Global 2ndEd. really differ from latest Alpha3?

lone sub vs loaded cvs, what happens to the fighters?
say fighters stretch their max distance to partake in a naval battle. What happens if the attacker retreats? Can the fighters land on a cv? Or do they die automatically?
-
the fighters die if they have no valid landing space.
If you retreat, and they used 4 movement to get to the seazone of battle. They die.
Subs ONLY fight the carrier, if the carrier gets hit, or sunk, the fighters must have a space to land at withing 1 space, if not. they die too.

Thanks, just wanted to confirm.

Question regarding UK building bases.
1. Can UK London build naval bases for the pacific side and vice versa?
2. Can the two UK economies split the cost for bases, say 8 from London and 7 from Calcutta?
