@Cmdr:

I agree, and yet more reasons for Germany to take France and leave Italy to take the minors (sorry, Neutrals…spththt, Rise and Decline of the 3rd Reich called the minors…).  This assumes you think Italy needs the cash, I do not really feel as such.  I think with the bonus for the Med, the bonus for France/Gibraltar/something and the bonus for North Africa, Italy is sitting in the pink…assuming you put enough Germans down there to protect their fleet.  Too bad you cannot build an airbase for Yugoslavia on G1 and have 6 fighters over the Italian fleet, no?

An extra 23 IPC’s buys a lot of treats

Anzac would recieve their NO’s right away. If Japan went after them it would put Japan so far out of position to do anything constructive….Who ever heard of a KAF strat?

OMG……Are you saying Alpha is not finished??? WTF, when is the Beta ruleset due to come out?

@kcdzim:

@SgtBlitz:

What’s the consensus on Japan DOW on Russia late in the game for Germany to pick up next turn when it seizes Moscow?

They can’t.  The NO is awarded at the beginning of the next turn.  Japan attacks russia, allies play, italy plays, germany goes, and only THEN does Russia have an oppotunity to collect the 12.

DUH!!!

@Gargantua:

You can land in Scotland, but you can’t liberate the U.K. in one move from Greenland.

Might aswell spend 14 IPC’s on another transport with 1 inf 1 art, and move in from Canada, than spend 15 on a NB in greenland that is useless.

Prior to the UK falling I thought Sz 106 was off limits.

@Gargantua:

NO idi, that’s not what I’m saying.

I’m saying you attack everything you CAN

Dear Gargantua; What do you mean by: Everthing you Can meaning what ships exactly with what planes exactly? Please break it down for me. I’m pretty new to Alpha+2. I have only seen Alpha+2 played once and the game didn’t even get finished. So please share your vast knowledge of this game with me. I just want to learn how to play as well as you and your minions.

@Gargantua:

yea it’s a must.

You HAVE to defend the Italian fleet, or you might aswell forfeit the game.

It comes second to nothing else Germany does.

So let me get this straight Gargantua, are you saying you destroy the entire UK fleet and land 2 fighters in Southern Italy to defend the fleet?

@cts17:

Fighter from Hungary and 1 other air unit from else where. Generally a tactical or fighter from West Germany that was used against France in combat.

You actually use planes to attack France? WoW

@eudemonist:

Yeah, I think Germany really needs to get those planes down to Italy G1.  If they don’t, then yeah, could be very bad for Italia.

How, I don’t how 2 planes can attack the UK fleet and fly all the way to souther Italy. Kindly tell me which planes your talking about.

@Gargantua:

OMG! ARGENTINA IS PRO AXIS NOW!

CANADA IS It’s OWN Nation!

Wow I guess I have some more Alpha toilet paper!

LOLZ!

Fools!  Made you look! :D

Hahaha

Come on, someone had to… There are so many variations now… And WORSE, there are people on Harris Design forum already spouting this Alpha 3 Nonsense.  They should be stopped.  It is OUR responsibility as fans to do so.

Everyone here, should go to that thread there (Alpha +3 theory craft) And tell each and everyone of those ID-10-T’s to hang themselves, and deal with it.  Alpha + 2 should be final - and Submitted.

@Krieghund:

It is covered in the rulebook.  Planes can’t land in territories that were not friendly at the beginning of your turn.  Friendly neutral is not the same as friendly.  UK and ANZAC can land planes in the Dutch territories because they are friendly, not friendly neutral.

So ANZAC can take Islands with planes then?

@Gargantua:

Well I can’t argue against what is likely the truth.  :)  I give up!

@FieldMarshalGames:

Why would they declare war?  What would be the basis of their claim?

Historic Japanese aggression so very close to Australia.

Random use of semi colons and comas

@nimitz1:

I was wondering if a) the company sells the europe and pacific maps as sheets to enable them to be mounted on sheet metal or b) if anyone has created a quality down-loadable map for just such an idea (mounting on a metal sheet).

I have both games (europe and pacific) but playing them on a table is proving a bit awkward (time and space as well as my aging back).  I’d prefer to magnetise the playing pieces and play on a big metal board mounted on a wall… but of course the maps are crucial… and yes I’ve tried photocopying the boards but the creases (where the boards fold) get copied as well and look awful.  AH used to sell their maps as paper only for mounting at home and surely this would be a good idea for this game.

Any help would be appreciated…cheers

How will you magnetise stacks? (Chips) Thats alot of magnets

Good advice…Buy Low! <> Sell High!

@SgtBlitz:

LOL, have Japan declare war on the Soviet Union the turn before Germany takes Moscow…  A free 12 IPCs for your side!

WOW SgtSlitiz, Maybe you should have read the post twice before shooting your drunken gob off. I’ll go over it for you so you can hopefully understand the subject matter of this post. The opening line (EX.1) of the post (See below) clearly indicates that the 12 IPC’s is paid to the the bank by the aggressor. Using your example of Japan declaring war on the USSR then Germany getting an extra 12 IPC’s in cash when taking the Russian capital is irrelavent due to the fact that the money is paid by Japan to the bank not to the Russians. So, SgtSlitz just so I know my work is done here….Once again using your example I’ll break it down even further for you so hopefully you’ll get it>

Japan - Aggressor (Pays 12 IPC’s)
USSR - Defender
Bank - Where the 12 Japanese IPC’s get paid to.
Germany - Gets nothing
SgtSlitz - Cut down on your Slitz intake before posting.

(EX.1)
Question: When the following attack happens should the aggressor be made responsible to pay the 12 IPCs to the bank instead of the bank paying it to the defender?

USSR
When the Soviet Union becomes at War with Japan
Collect 12 IPCs, once, at the beginning of the turn following a declaration of war by Japan on the Soviet Union.
Theme: Recognized national emergency.

Japan
When Japan becomes at War with the Soviet Union
Collect 12 IPCs, once, at the beginning of the turn following a declaration of war by the Soviet Union on Japan.
Theme: Recognized national emergency.

@Gargantua:

I don’t think 12 IPC’s is enough.

and I agree, the agressor shouldn’t have to pay.

How much then?

@Gallo:

no

Why not?
