Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion

@the-captain right on. Yea S France got dusted for 6 hits already. Woulda been cheaper to go underground. i just let it burn as i still have enough production space.

Had to send some Pnzr Grndrs into Normandy for defense a long with some Wehrmacht Inf Divisions. Should be able to hold it and detonate next turn.

Unfortunately SS PnzGrds coming next rd so I’ll miss out on a couple. All part of learning the game :)

Just finished J4 and no new bugs. Some minor Notes clarification to do but that can wait.

Is there a cap on allocated figs ? Must be if u can scramble figs from an AB.

Ya Barn keep you figs always in defense positions.

Any cap on allocated fighters ?

@general-5-stars Hi General

It’s same as G 40 OOB mostly. So 3 per AB but you can upgrade the AB for 4 bucks and can then scramble 4.

I keep spacing that one. Think W Germany needs an upgrade lol. Problem is I went too heavy in N Africa with Rommel and 2.6 million Commie reserves ( 26 Inf ) are getting called up next turn.

Adolf already speeding up the Bunker construction lol

Edit
Correction 3 bucks to upgrade the AB

@The-Captain

So Army Groups differ from Tank and Waffen Armies, Commisar Corps, as in that they cannot reform in NCM ? Is this correct ? Must be formed at turn start and stay formed for entire turn ?

Thanks

Edit

Also the Army Group itself can’t be taken as a casualty ? Just units within it.

I have to take it as a hit in triplea in order to deactivate it and then edit the extra kill after combat.

Just thinking out loud I guess :)

Edit 2

I guess in a battle to the death that could be a potential problem. I’ll have to think of the best way to play that. Idk, when it’s obvious, you could auto kill a bullet stopper before combat and roll separate for him, but if it’s close, hmm … have to think on it.

They might just end up being a little extra powerful. HQ goes down with pistols in hand lol

@barnee ok so as soon as enough hits are taken you have to take Army Group as a hit. That was already a given. If we get into a battle to the Death and only 1 unit is left that shoulda died, then edit kill him and return TTy to previous owner.

I think that’s the best we can do. You’ll still be getting that extra shooter the whole battle but … it’s just the way triplea rolls lol

oops getting threads confused again lol

Hi,

Concerning a damaged Carrier:

Example 1:
A Japanese damaged Carrier is in sea zone 6. There are 5 Japanese Fighters in Japan and the Japanese Air Base in Japan is undamaged.

The US player launches an attack against sea zone 6.

The Japanese player chooses to scramble with 3 Fighters and has already allocated another 2 Fighters to protect the damaged Carrier.

Example 2:
Japan has an undamaged Minor Industrial Complex in Shantung.

In Shantung there are 3 Japanese Fighters.

A Japanese damaged Carrier is in sea zone 19.

The Japanese player chooses to allocate 2 Fighters from Shantung to protect the damaged Carrier, since 2 UK Destroyers are able to reach the damaged Carrier if the UK player decides to attack.

I mean about figs in example 1.
And you can only allocate figs to protect damaged BB and AC ?

@general-5-stars so the AB does it’s normal scramble 3, which is it’s max, and then the new rule lets you scramble/defend the CV/SZ with 2 more

Edit

I don’t think you can defend BBs with the extra 2

@The-Captain so when Paras AA Fire is separate, does that mean the AAgun gets it’s full load of 3 shots for each ?

Example

2 Ftrs attack and 3 Paras 1 AAgun gets 2 shots at Ftrs and 3 at Paras ? Or just 3 total shots and they divy it up in separate battles ?

So only up to 2 figs can only allocate that came from a damaged AC.

@general-5-stars yea not 100% sure on that. I think any Ftr can Defend. Doesn’t have to be from the CV

@the-captain right on yea it’s gonna play slightly different with triplea but shouldn’t be too bad.

Sorry for the stupid question, tried to read the whole thread but…
I can’t play “live” with friend so TripleA only; this House Rules were never applied to TripleA and they will never be ?

barnee is in the process of doing that now.

@general-5-stars
This one I just found ?

Oh my God…

Probably. barnee will let you know in a bit.

Hi @malmessi74

Yea it’s under “Experimental” in map downloads. Still a work in progress and requires a lot of edit use compared to most triplea games, but is playable imo.

Be sure to read the Game Notes. It’ll take a bit to adjust to. It has a more ftf type playstyle. I just save after every turn and have the rules in another window handy to look up.

Edit

Also i plan on posting a triplea playstyle guide at some point, explaining what i find to work the best. It’ll definitely be open to improvement :)

Ok, I’ am also learning TotalWorldWar and it has a huge manual so I’m doing the same :blush:

@malmessi74 Awesome ! Your experiences will help :)

Still trying to fix the Mongolia thing lol
