Subtle Changes for Global balance

@The-Captain

Great Thank you

@imperious-leader said in Global 1940 Fixed Units Variants:

@gen-manstein right, just off the top of my head.Baron M. could collaborate

Barons to busy. We don’t need his collaborate.

@magnum I’m not yet convinced that letting them pick what they want, and potentially the same thing, is a problem. If anything, this will give them the opportunity to try out different strategies, involving research, and see how they work.

@crockett36
What you talkin bout Willis?

@Black_Elk just suggested what i think to be an excellent idea over at the triplea site. Have Normandy be “Original Owner True Neutral” or could make it “Pro_Allied”. Will start out controlled by France.

At any rate, when Team USA comes in and takes it and then Liberates Paris, it’ll still be USA controlled. Which is historical as well.

Gonna add it to the House Rules : )

Edit
So you’d need to use Gamerman1’s Normandy turns Pro-Allied if not Axis controlled after turn 1 as well. Can add a 2 PU objective for France if US of A controlls Normandy and Paris is free if you want.

We played Global 40 today (6 player game) with the following turn order.

Russia non com far east forces
All Axis go except Italy)
All allies go except France
All Axis go
All Allies go
Then switch off from then on. 
All the normal rules applies as to who can can-opener for whom and order of non com etc.

On the plus side, we found that it did not change the game play or balance which we wanted to avoid.  It was also fun from the standpoint of the whole team being “on” together and “off” together.   
On the down side, however, it also did not speed up play much.  Of course, we had a couple of new players, and I think it would might have saved significant time with more experienced player.  So, it is something we might do again, but not because it saved all that much time.

@barney:

Hey right on Ryuzaki ! Sounds fun! If I’m Germany I’m liking those 12 subs! When I get some time (where does it all go ?) I’ll give it a spin.

You played in the lobby do you have a saved game you can post with the setup ?

Here you go

@Gargantua:

Aye BUT a battle in a seazone around England, IS a battle over England according to the rules! :D

I like the concept Jen, I’m just giving you a hard time.

Yes I see that.  I specifically excluded it from the rules - and yer the reason I burned one of my manuals to dust!
