@tank-nut Hey there!

So, there’s a bit more to it than that. There’s probably a lot of parts of the game that are related, but I’ll try and keep confined.

So in A&A, naval bases just increase movement. This has more than that.

There’s 3 types of naval bases. 1) Port, 2) Dockyard, 3) Shipyard.

Port.

Ports grant an extra movement for ships just like A&A. But they also are used as supply paths for Lend Lease. In GW36 you can lend lease to other nations, but they have to go through ports/undamaged railways, etc. So port can be very important for shipping lend lease supplies/units. You can send $3 worth of money or units through a minor port, and $5 worth through a major port. You can place these anywhere that has an ocean border. Also, it’s only a major port that grants the movement bonus, not a minor.

Dockyards

Dockyards can do the same things as ports, except while a minor dockyard can only support $3 worth of lend lease, a major dockyard can support unlimited amounts of lead-lease material. Dockyards can also be used to repair capital ships. Same as above, only major dockyards give movement bonuses.

Shipyards

Shipyards can do all the same things as ports and dockyards. The difference here is that they can also produce ships, 1 non-capital ship per turn for a minor dockyard, and 5 ships of any type for a major dockyard. Major dockyards can only be build in your home country too, you can’t build them in overseas and/or conquered territories, etc. Same as above, only major shipyards give movement bonuses.

Hope that helps! It’s a lot to keep in mind for sure!

@meyott Hey there! I haven’t been able to bust the game out in a while, so I’m maybe a bit rusty here, but I believe these should answer your questions.

When Greek Alignment happens would depend on at what point in the game Turkey is Aligned too. If the Axis win Influence over Greece before they’re at war with anyone, then Turkey would not be Aligned with the Axis just yet, and so Greece would not be able to become Aligned with the Allies right away. If the Axis was at war with the Allies, then Greece would become Allied Aligned immediately.

There’s seemingly a bit of contradiction between the Turkey At War Expansion rules, and the Turkey Reference sheet though.

The Reference Sheet states that “If Turkey becomes Axis Aligned (i.e. its at war with the Same Major Power as Germany Japan or Italy), Greece will immediately become Allied Aligned”.

The Expansion rules at 1.5© and 1.6 state:

“1.5© Declaration of War: Even if Turkey becomes Aligned to a Major Power an independent run Turkey is not forced to declare war and can remain neutral until it wishes to. Other nations can declare war on Turkey as per Global War Rules”;

“1.6 Greece: If Turkey becomes Axis Aligned, Greece will immediately become Allied Aligned”.

So to me, the Reference sheet is saying that Greece becomes Aligned with the Allies when Turkey is at war with the same Major power as the Axis, but the Expansion rules at 1.6 just say Greece becomes Allied Aligned the moment Turkey becomes Axis Aligned, seemingly regardless of Turkey’s belligerent status.

I know that’s not me really answering the question, haha. We’ve played based on what the Expansion Rules say though and not the Reference sheet, meaning that once Turkey becomes Axis Aligned, Greece will become Allied Aligned, regardless of Turkish war status.

Good point on Home Country here. I guess I’d refer to the rulebook for “Home Country”:

“Each nation has a group of land zones that comprise their Home Country as defined on the National Reference Sheet. For a Minor Power the Home Country includes the primary nation but not its colonies, islands or conquered land zones”.

@Trig Quite facinating ref sheet! Do you have a complete version available for publication?

@aldrahill said in Slowly house ruling GW36 into a G40/BBR/GW36 hybrid for 2-players:

@gen-manstein Finding this card confusing - so this is to roll for the ability to influence neutrals and turn them to your side?

Why not just do it so that 1-6 = pay bank for loses, 7 = pay 1 extra, 8 = pay 2 extra, 9-10 joins your side, 11-12 = joins your side plus reserves called up.

What are the numbers in the brackets on some of the countries mean?

You get all 3 territories in Saudi Arabia

@sjelso Denmark is something I also wouldn’t take till later, but the Netherlands can be a pain very quickly after Japan attacks. Norway may be risky by sea, but only 2 airborne are needed if given long range air support. If done during lightning war, Norway can be rather easily and quickly conquered.

@Narvik what happened to you Aldertag?
