OMG - Turkey!  What the hell does the strait do?

You disconnected sz 14 from sz 16.

The axis converted Turkey to their side with -5 and the Turkish army popped up.  Now they want to move the army from Turkey through the Bosporus Strait to the Balkans because it is colored grey on both sides.  Germany has fallen to US/UK and this is the closest army they have – so the situation is dire.

Can you clarify the intent of this map modification?  It is our first time this has happened and we can’t come to consensus.

I thought this area represented the gun implacements there used for defense, not a land bridge.

Thanks in advance,

The real question:  Is Turkey now connected to the Balkan’s via that little sliver of land?

We converted the neutrals to German units, but couldn’t figure out if they were allowed to move straight to the Balkan’s or did they have to take a different route.

It was close, but Axis still won.  Russia was overrun by the Japanese and German was still getting 17 IPC even at 50% reduction.

@Imperious:

The lend lease was supposed to be 50% more NOT reduction.  If you reduced LL to Russia by 50% no wonder they lost.

Try playing with historical victory conditions ( no japs into Russia unless Moscow falls)

No, you misunderstood.  I was trying to say that Germany had fallen.  Thus, Germany was only getting 50% income, because it’s capital was in enemy hands.

So both Germany and Russia had fallen and it was a race between the 3 remaining powers – and what popped up in Turkey.  That’s why we were so interested in what Turkey was connected to.

I like that rule about no Japn in Russia until Moscow falls.  That should raise some eyebrows.

See ya.

Evening IL,

Well the Las Vegas crowd has returned and we’ve got 10-12 of us gathering tomorrow for our monthly “wring out” AARHE Lite+ event.

We have 10 signed up for sure, with 1-2 more in the unknown category.  I’m hoping to incorporate Italy for any stragglers that showed up.  However, in trying to make some overlay templates (e.g., modify Germany, Norway, & Australia) I noticed that the 1942 maps don’t have any of the VCs on them – so I’m not sure what to do.  Should I use the VC values from 1939 (e.g., 5 for Rome and 2 for Poland)?

I also think Southern Germany should have some troop levying capability.  All those brown shirts and Austrians just sitting around drinking bier were easily thrown into uniforms ;-)

Hopefully I can eventually convince them to play 1939, but it has been hard enough to introduce AARHE & Lite.

So, if you have any spare time would you mind updating:

Thanks in advance!

Turkey’s Strait (SZ 15-16) needs to be added to the Straits & Waterway table (page 7).  The only place it is referenced is in the Appendix: Neutrals under the table (page 19).

It might be a good idea to reference that moving through a Neutral strait is an act of war in the Straits and Waterway section.  I’ve had the German player do that without us knowing that.

Note:  This is why I’m requesting the numbering of para’s and tables so they are easier to reference than just “page 19”.

Is -1 or -4 diplomacy required to allow use of the waterway?

ok I’ll add Turkey to “Canals and Waterways”

Is this the most recent version of your AARHE map?

Thanks

the correct names for the maps are the following as used in the rules file…

_AARHE Standard Map: The map is mostly as the original revised map. Baltic Sea (sea zone 5) is no longer connected to Western Europe. Balkans and Turkey are connected. There are other small changes. Income and unit setup remains the same. Setup icons and AARHE information has been added for your convenience.

AARHE 1939 Map: Game starts in 1939 with France, Italy, and China as separate players. The map contains a large number of changes from the original map adding important sites such as Malta, Tunsia, and Iwo Jima. Territories are also a bit more divided.

AARHE 1942 Italy Map: Game starts in 1942 with Italy as 6th player. This map contains a small number of changes from original map adding territories such as Italy and Finland. Setup remains the same for other territories._
