Hi,

I’ve played a game of the 1939 map last week-end and i have some questions:

1. If the japanese attack some strict neutral in south america, there is no penality for that and it did’nt seem to have any impact on USA. Did I understand the rule well? Because it’s only if germany or italy invade south america that have an impact, not japan… The japanese player did that early in my game and I did’nt find it very funny…
2. In my game Japan also attack on the first turn Russia. And since Russia is not producing a lot at start, and that a japanese attack don’t have any impact on the IPC russia receive, in my game, before Russia was able to have some IPC to build something japanese was almost at Moscow… Did we play right?
3. There is some strict neutral in south america that don’t have any troops, do you think that it could be a good idea to put some troops to all strict neutral?

I want to play tommorow so, if somehone could help me it would be very apreciated,

Best,

Hi,

I’ve have some additional questions:

1. Naval Bomber and Naval Fighter:

Did those planes can attack land units or only ships? If they can also attack land units can they use the target capability on them? Since they have the same value (other than ipc cost) then regular plane if they can attack all type of units, why someone would buy regular plane?

2. Can fortress be captured or they are treated like a normal land unit?

3. Romania: In the rule it say that Romania have 6 ipc but it is only 4 on the map…

4. Minors: If we give the ipc to germany did the minor can still use the “build in” minor industry to produce german troops in theirs territories?

5. Can germany attack Vichy France?

6. Did Anzac and other UK minors move and attack at the same time (In global40 Anzac have a seprate turn…).

7. There is no naval base in marseille which was an important port for the french, is it normal?

8. If you attack a strict neutral did it become allied with axis or the allied depending on which side attack them?

9. How technology work? Since there is no log sheet or any info that can give us the way we can acquired technology. Did there is another document or chart somewhere?

10. Before the us is at war did the special situation (ex: Germany/Italy attacks Great Britain +20 IPC’s) really give an extra 20 IPCS to the us or it simply help the US to reach faster the needed 80 ipcs to declare war on axis?

11. Paratroopers: During a paradrop did the pratrooper attack at 4 or 3?

Thanks,

Hi,

I would like to try your variant next week-end but I have 2 questions:

1. What is the rule for fortification?

Is it really +2 for all infantry for the first round or as I saw elsewere +2 by infantry when matched 1/1 with a fortification? And also can you buy new fortification and place them anywhere you want? Even on the first turn you conquered a teritory?

2. What is the rule for strict neutral?

Can you attack them whitout any penality?

3. What is the exact rule for the american submarine at 3?

4. Where is the best place ot obtain the latest version of the rule and the setup?

Best,

#1 Fortification: I was considering (house rule) : The fortification that are on the board at the setup are majors fortications and you can’t build more (maginot line, gibraltar,…) and they give a +2 to all infantry on the first turn of combat. But you can also build minor fortification on a territory you own at the start of your turn to a max of 1 per turn per territory at a cost of 6 ipc. They defend at 2 and give à +2 to one inf. The minors fortifications could be a great defensive unit.
What do you think about it?

#2 I left the strict neutrals alone and , they are neutral and are not swayed one way or the other. I am looking at a rule to be able to sway a neutral to your side.

Do you mean that we can’t attack the strict neutrals or that if we attack one of them they all swing to the oposite side (as in global1940). But what can you do to attack norway or denmark?

#3 U.S. torpedoes at the beginning of the war were very unreliable. I think the pre war stockpile were 75% duds.

Ok, but when (which turn) did the US subs stop being at 3 (and go back to 4)? Turn 10?

#4 I’ll post the latest revision of setups and rules Monday  night.

thanks!

Bonjour,

Je suis aussi de Montréal et j’ai un ami avec qui je joue à Axis régulièrement depuis près de 10 ans. Il nous ferait aussi plaisir de faire une partie avec votre groupe.
