NO question

Thanks, just what I need to know

Thank you for the help

Thanks for the quick reply.  I certainly understand the appeal of Global, unfortunately it’s just not an option for my regular gaming group.

Thank you, that actually helped a lot. We had a general idea of the subs ability to submerge unless facing destroyers, but that got a little confusing when it came to combined arms.  Your comment about dice actually sorted that out. Thanks a bunch, I’m sure I’ll be back with questions about convoys, bombing, and scrambling once we play again.

@Karl7:

I played a Europe OOB game the other day against my dad and local guys back in my home town of Boise Idaho and got absolutely killed as the Axis.  I gave the allies a 28 ipc bid to counter what they claimed was an overwhelming Axis advantage.  (probably very stupid on my part… sigh)  Anyhow, they used the bid to prevent the Axis from sinking the British fleet.  It was downhill there on out.

My questions:

(1) if you don’t/can’t do sealion are the Axis doomed OOB?

(2) did Larry say Alpha 3.9 translates to Europe only?  If so, what national objectives do you use?

I am heading back up to Boise for rematch and want to use updates rules if so.

Axis are not doomed at all. I find it harder to win as the Axis when I’ve done sealion then when I didn’t. Doing Sealion means putting too much resources in London.

There are no official rules for europe only. A couple of threads down there’s a discussion to wich NO’s etc are being used.

@orcageo:

Can one build an IC in any type of neutral as long as he controls it?

Don’t forget to meet the min. requirements for TT placement of (2) on minors and (3) Major factories.

Of course the Soviet units die - they are cargo.  Germany need not declare war on the USSR in order to attack UK ships.  The Soviets take their chances when they board a ship that’s in danger of being sunk by an enemy.

Brednul,

AA42 and AA40 pieces are identical - made in the same color and size. I am a piece fanatic and I have spare sets for every A&A made (over 10,000 pieces I think now).

It is a great idea to have an AA42 game for extras, Minor complexes, AA guns - check out my thread on the global board for new major complex plastic pieces for $2.50 shipped.
