I was thinking for new players to axis and allies you could let France go first. Also France could be a single playable country. I think this is just a good, fun, and new idea in general. It also gives the Allies lots of options. For example France can take Northern Italy or try to take Western Germany or Belgium/Holland. Try it out.

Is the yellow color Finland??

Look at the top left corner…

How Do AAA Guns Work? In Axis & Allies North Africa? The part I’m really stuck on is what do they roll on to hit? Is it a one still? Are they useful? Why do they cost only three? (Except the German one).

Re: Warfare Principles of Axis & Allies (by AndrewAAGamer)

@AndrewAAGamer I would disagree about France. France can be really helpful. They have a Fighter in London. And 5 guys in Africa. If the person playing as France saves the French fighter I fly it down to Algeria and stack with 2 or 3 men plus the fighter. After that I push my way east towards Egypt. The Guy in Syria Goes down to Egypt same with the guy in French West Africa. If their fleet in the Mediterranean survives it can evacuate and help the fight againsent the German Sub barrage, or other German ships. The Destroyer in French Madagascar can go to Egypt or India. And if their is a guy in French Indo China he can go backwards to India. If it goes really well for the French they will have 74 IPC’s. They have 8 Infantry, 2 Destroyers, 2 Cruisers, and 1 Fighter. This is the best scenario for them. Worst is they make it out with 6 Infantry, 1 Destroyer. The Worst case is not as good but the French still can do stuff. They are not pointless. When they get or if they get back in the game at the end they can pump out 19 IPC’s each round. This could be 3 Infantry, 1 Artillery, and 1 Tank.

@chadikus

I think realistically in order for the Axis to win is for them to take Russia’s three capitals. And the Japs take over all over China and a large chunk of the pacific. I think the Allies would try to negotiate with the Axis party’s at the point.

@DoManMacgee Ture makes sense.

@AndrewAAGamer I’m saying that if the setup the player chooses has one their. And btw their should at least be one guy in Indo China. To prove this, there were about 50,000 troops in Algeria this equals one French Infantry according to the setup. While Indo China had 75,000 troops. And their is no Vichy rule as well. So there should be a guy there.

@SlammerIV Infantry will be bought at the end-ish but I think but not as much as other things.

@SuperbattleshipYamato Very interesting. I will have to test it out to.

@SuperbattleshipYamato They don’t really lose IPCS through because they can retake it or Germany can.

You may be wondering what the title of my post means. It may have caught you off guard. Let me explain.

Larry’s setup for Global 1940 has no units in French Indo China. Yet there is no Vichy rule. You may be asking, Why does this matter. Well let me also say this. Larry said that he seriously doubts the existence of French units in French Indo China. Still not connecting the dots? Let me explain more.

According to the setup there is 1 Infantry in Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia. In each territory there were about 50,000 troops in each French colony. So? You may be saying. Well in French Indo China there were also 50,000 troops, and there is no Vichy because Larry did not want to over complicate the game. It says this in the rulebook.

So in conclusion, there should at least be one guys in French Indo China.

Please help me protest this to Larry Harris so teh setup may be changed.
Is there a way to email him? Please let me know and helpout.

One last thing when I say protest I do not mean it in a bad way I mean it in a way to let Larry know to put a guy there. Spread the word to your friends!

@crockett36 I wish they had a transport so they could evacuate some forces.
