I would like to use this thread, too, in order to adress my current game mates: two colleagues ill, so much workload on me. If I dont get my turn(s)/responses in by Thursday it may take even until next Monday. All the best to you though!

PS: have not checked on UHD :)

apologies to all for my sudden absence! Short heads-up:
Issue is solved, I am cleaning up the mess… AND will be back very soon - gonna continue with games on Wednesday.

@Panther

second “oha!” That is important to know (so no exchangeable carrier buy as possible landing spot…)

@mikawagunichi
@Stucifer @max334 @gamerman01 @Adam514

I had a rough read here and remembered that
@Krieghund said in Global 2nd edition Q+A ( AAG40.2):

@pacifiersboard

No, it applies to all Japanese-controlled territories. However, New Zealand was not Japanese-controlled when the destroyer ended its movement there. It can remain there indefinitely, but if it moves away it may not return.

So to sum it up in my words it is about ending a movement not about ending a movement phase.

@farmboy
awesome - take a moment and enjoy!

@Adam514
it probably will a short while only until you got another opportunity to celebrate!

@jacobgeo24

May I bounce in with my two cents… You get a hard time playing Allies OOB without bid. IMO they are even further handicapped more than Axis by playing it as physical multi-player boardgame because of the lack of a battle calculator (I assume so) needed for solid defense setup and because coordination is much more crucial for Allies. Thus my advices are

• focus on fun and fellowship even more than victory

• don’t let someone bore out by playing only Russia

• Allies should keep it simple, do only overwhelming attacks and shift/seek their aggressiveness into/in smart strong positioning. Overall secure London, then Moscow, then India and Iraq - be both flexible and focused. Don’t lose Gibraltar or Egypt. Have Western Allies’ planes in Europe that can be also at Moscow in time. And going more into detail: Consider if it counters Axis’ moves and serves your purpose well when you go with planes defending on the route (a) London (b/c) Gib (d) sz99 [Crete] (e) Moscow. btw UK planes can fly to Moscow within two turns if they land on US carriers in sz92 (Western to Gibs) or sz97 which then move to sz99

• Have transports with ground units with your fleets just for creating threats!!

• I personally indeed found for playing the physical boardgame without usual bidding that a great but easy tweak is starting the game with French Turn Zero! Allowedly this severely impacts German opening and default strategies, but is adding a nice portion of balance in both odds and initiative.

• Last but not least I like tech on when casually playing face to face. This is offering an interesting way to deal with different levels of skills, too: Agree on a number of free tech rolls granted to the supposedly weaker player(s)

Thx a lot for that work! Can I play with your map but default unit images?

@barnee
Cool.

@crockett36 had thought of it in [Global 1940] One rule to balance it?

@surfer
yeah, I am traveling till Wednesday - then I will come back to our game :)
