RE: Scrambling Rule Question - Sealionposted in Axis & Allies Global 1940
@simon33 I think we all could agree that all sealion plans are not alike.I prefer to not be “all in” with sealion when I make my G1 buy.I’ll buy all air (or maybe 1dd+2 air) and access how G1 goes and what US and UK do before commiting to sealion or not.When Italys 1st turn is underway I know if it’s a go time for sealion.

@simon33 Balanced Mod or not,if Italys 1st turn their fighters land in WGer or France with AB they can escort to London.

RE: The Italian Invasion of Cape Townposted in Axis & Allies Global 1940
@SuperbattleshipYamato Italian starting army in E.Africa is too slow and too weak by itself to take Capetown.If axis is able to control suez canal and can load TTs from sz 81 (red sea) it might be doable.Another plan could be to strafe attack Egypt from Sudan+Alexandria,retreat everything including fast movers to Sudan.

RE: Axis and Allies 1998pc game need helpposted in Software
@TheGheko91 Are you wanting to make it harder to beat the AI when playing solo?
If so you can use the unit edit.Make the nation you are playing weaker by removing some starting units and/or add a few staring units to your AI controlled opposition.I find the AI will never capture 2 enemy capitals,so set it for economic victory,which you can adjust the numbers when setting up your game. -

@Panther Thanks for clarifying. It may be best not to even include a carrier with a guest fighter when attacking.

Repair damaged carrier with allied cargoposted in Axis & Allies Global 1940
@McX OK so I have a slightly different question. It’s the beginning of my turn and I’m repairing my carrier containing,as cargo,my allies fighter.Can I require my ally to remove his fighter before my combat move?What if my ally has room on one of his own carriers in the same sz?My thinking is that the cargo can and maybe has to be moved when the repair is being done.

RE: Submarines and convoy distributionposted in Axis & Allies Europe 1940
@Axis_Powers_r_Better I don’t mean to complicate things …but in example no die roll for carrier plus each sub and each plane rolls 2 dice so that would be 8 dice total.

@SuperbattleshipYamato And the submarine does’nt prevent the unescorted transport from unloading into a friendly place in NCM

RE: [Global 1940] 2nd Revised Setup For Franceposted in House Rules
@FranceNeedsMorePower Absolutely,do NOT add a AB+NB to FIC in the set -up.It would be a very generous gift to Japan.

RE: How to deal with the insane russian NOposted in Axis & Allies Global 1940
@shadowhawk Not really true “nothing stops russia” from moving into iraq or finland.Russia needs to be at war on the Europe side.

RE: A&A 1940 Global: Japanese invasion of Russia and Expeditionary Fleet to Europeposted in Axis & Allies Global 1940
@shadowhawk I can’t argue with that.Take out india 1st and then go toward Egypt and middle east to obtain victory on the Europe side.

@Classified_22 I don’t want to discourage you from trying novel strategies.They’re interesting and fun,but will likely be defeated by good players(I’m not including myself in that category)
With your G1 naval buy and depending on how battles went,the allies should be wary of a possible sealion threat.Watch to see what Russia buys and where they position their forces.If they decide to attack Japan,the 6 Mongolians will stay put.I guess your surprize move is using TTs to drop an army into northern Russia from sz 127.I reccommend using the units from Norway and Finland.If you take Leningrad you get the AB,NB,Minor fac+5 ipc bonus but that spot is not hard to get overland and safer to use baltic sea if using TTs.
Taking Archengal negates Russias 5ipc lend lease bonus.Nemetsia is worth 0,but so remote that it’s harder for Russia to contain you and close enough for it to be possible to bring over Japanese air from china.
I just want to say that I’ve made the mistake of splitting up my German army invading Russia.I lost all my slow movers because I underestimated the power of a lot of inf with just a few tanks and planes.
Let us know what you like to buy G2. -
RE: Transports required?posted in Axis & Allies Europe 1940
@SuperbattleshipYamato I like your"it’s game design"answer.With all the factors that went into developing A&A Global 40,they did a good job.If we really want to tweek something it’s a house rule.
I think it would be historically accurate to have some political (bonus?)consequence for gaining or losing the 2 Italian islands. -
RE: A&A 1940 Global: Japanese invasion of Russia and Expeditionary Fleet to Europeposted in Axis & Allies Global 1940
@shadowhawk OK,I see this is turning into a sealion discussion which is fine enough.We should get back to what this thread was about initially.
Classified_22
8 days agoWhat are you guy’s opinion on the following turn sequence for Axis powers
G1: build CV, DD, and SS–Germany takes France and prepares for Sea Lion + Russian invasion.
Many of us would read that as Germany has to prepare to BE INVADED by Russia .I’d suggest that Classied_22 does not buy naval G1 and plans to with Japans help take out Russia 1st and maybe sealion later if the opportunity is there.Otherwise go for Cairo for the win. -
RE: Transports required?posted in Axis & Allies Europe 1940
@SuperbattleshipYamato . I don’t have a problem with UK being able to move overland to Eire with units that start in Scotland (which on the map includes N.Ireland)A mech starting in London UK1 is crossing a straight to activate EIre.Why can’t Italy move land units back and forth to Sicily from S Italy when they control both territories and the sz is NOT hostile?OK Denmark and Sweden different countries,but what if I’ve been in control of both and sz 113 for a round?
Where it gets me is when Germany invades Scotland from SZ 111,it is assumed they crossed over to N.Ireland even if Uk controls sz 109 and 119.Next Germany can take Eire without transports,thus denying a possible landing space for counter-attacking allied aircraft.
As for Sicily,I like that the game designers made it a separate territory probably because historically the allies used it as stepping stone to invade mainland Italy.Does anyone ever invade Sicily?I don’t recall it being discussed other than a cheesey way to get Russia more spreading communism bonuses. -
Transports required?posted in Axis & Allies Europe 1940
I need transports to go from Sicily to S.Italy 2mi and Denmark to Sweden 2.5mi but not from Scotland to Ireland 12mi.Why is that?

RE: A&A 1940 Global: Japanese invasion of Russia and Expeditionary Fleet to Europeposted in Axis & Allies Global 1940
@shadowhawk USA bombers have nowhere to land if scotland and eire are unavailable.If Germanaby owns normandy factory by G2,new units can be placed in sz 110 G3.I think USA needs at least 4 loaded carriers + DD in sz 102 by USA turn 2 to kill what could be in sz 110.
Keep in mind , Germany is only committed to sealion when they spend their G2 money on TTs.If it does’nt look viable do something else. -
RE: A&A 1940 Global: Japanese invasion of Russia and Expeditionary Fleet to Europeposted in Axis & Allies Global 1940
@shadowhawk When there is a legitimate Sealion threat I think USA is buying on the atlantic side rd 1+2.I agree that the"Expeditionary Fleet to Europe"half of this thread is different but ultimately unwise.Hell just stay close to sz 6 so you can build and transport land units out of Japan every turn.How about flying most of your air force to the Europe side?
sz 38 or 41 >iraq 4 spaces
suiyaun or yakut >nenetsia(beside archengal) 4 spaces
kwangsi(with AB) > romania or iraq 7spaces
sz 1 >qubec 4 spaces…that one is a crazy kamakazi
