I actually forgot to drop off the guys from the transport into Gibraltar. So I tried out the edit mode feature. I was able to move them onto Gibraltar. Pretty cool. It also logs the transaction in the turn summary. Good in game test! In a real game we should probably alert the other player before doing this. Onto ANZAC and France and turn 1 is complete!

@Zhukov44:

I’d recommend practicing with the software on your own and on the live lobby, where you can also observe games. When you start the game, advise your group to practice their move by loading the file in “Start Local Game” mode before loading the file in “PBEM/PBF” mode. This way, the game is enhanced by less errors as you get used to the software.

Thanks for the advice! I started playing a couple games on my own already.

A few more questions:

1: Am I able to setup email notifications to all the players when a turn is posted and how? Or do people need to periodically check the forum thread?

2: Is there a feature in the game that tells you what units are in each territory, more specifically seazones? I am having trouble distinguishing between the ships. Mostly cruisers and battleships. Or is there a cheat sheet of the unit pictures?

3: What prevents someone from rolling out combat not liking the results so they reload the game and run the rolls again? I’m not worried about my group but just wondered when playing strangers. Most people on the forums are really great and really helpful but you do get the occasional d-bag.

Question 1: We will have 5 players playing is that able to be done with triple A?

Question 2: Should every one have an AA.org account?

Question 3: When PBF does everyone have to input all the emails and url in the triple a software?

Question 4: When the turn posts to the forum does it automatically attach the map file? And when its the next persons turn do they open the attached map?

Question 5: How are casualties chosen? by the attacker?

I know some of these are probably really simple to answer but i"ll admit it I’m a NOOB. Thanks for the help. I guarantee i’ll have more stupid questions.

My last couple of times playing the US I have fallen in love with sending bombers to London. Two a round if I can. Couple that with a skeleton fleet and a two transport shuck to Gibraltar depending on how the UK has fared it seems to give Germany fits or at least distract them from a full out Russian push. The rest of the US$ goes straight for the DEI. I am a firm believer in preventing Japan any income. My buddy likes to take Korea and build a factory with help from those 18 Russians but I think that is fools gold. I have played him many times as Japan and I welcome that strategy every time. You can have Korea while I assault Calcutta protect the DEI and build my income to 60-70, forcing the US to build in the Pacific. Which allows Germany to go to work virtually without any worry. You want to stop Japan, as the US go for the DEI and get help from UK, ANZAC and China. Allied coordination is very hard for the axis to overcome. Just my two cents.

@majikforce:

(…) I just don’t see any allied help directly into Russia being effective at all (…)

Consider sending UK-spitfires into Moscow. This REALLY helps Russia staying in control of its capital. Check it with a battlecalculator if you want. If Russia…
-Produces only INF + (less) ART, only adding ARM + MECH if it has IPCs to spare (usually in turn 4 and 5);
-Sends their Siberian Hunters home (+ some surviving Mongols);

…Then sending 6 to 8 Spitfires into Moscow saves the day against GE6 through GE8. With substantial allied troops threatening to invade in the west, this should be enough to keep Russia alive indefinately.

If the USA hammers Japan and does not have a lot in Europe (on a KJF mission), Moscow wil surely fall GE9 or GE10. Unless the UK is willing to have a total of 20 FTR active in Moscow (I calculated that). Now I am a big fan of UK-aid for Moscow (12 aircraft is no problem for me as Churchill), but that’s even too much for me to feel comfortable with. Not that I couldn’t, but I wouldn’t ;-).

I must say I have never tried sending ftr’s to Russia. I will definitely try that out. I would assume you would have to get them there early on. My only concern is that if you send what ftr’s you start with early on then Italy will thrive while your fighters sit in Moscow idling. And if you buy more that can be an expensive venture considering UK can have trouble making in the middle 30’s. Can you detail your plan for sending fighters to Russia? I would like to try it out. Thanks!

Good info. Thanks. I would suggest that UK experiment with crippling Italy early on. Pretty easy to do. Balance that with a little US in the Atlantic for help. The problem is Germany can turn on London but Russia benefits. Also I have found that the Allies need total coordination to be fully effective that is where there strength lies. So your allied players need to work together better and stick to the plan (whatever that plan is). I would say the balance of the game lies a lot in the skill of the selected players. Too many high level players against lower level players can seem to have disastrous effects. (at least in our group) And one other thing I have come to accept as the allies is the Russian mindset. Russia is going down eventually (if Germany wants it to) As Russia I try to make that as difficult as possible for Germany and stretch it out as long as possible, but you have to couple that with effective help from UK and US. And when I say help I mean be prepared to fight Germany after Russia falls. I just don’t see any allied help directly into Russia being effective at all. IMHO I would rather prepare for the later game where Japan is somewhat contained, Italy has turtled up and now you have to fight a superpower in Germany. Just my two cents.

@CWO:

This is just a rough idea which I haven’t thought out in any kind of detail (it’s similar to Wild Bill’s proposal to buy additional minutes at 1 IPC per minute), but if your goal is to find a solution to “analysis paralysis”, how about providing some kind time-based of bonus (or penalty) as an incentive for players to make their moves more quickly? You could take the golf concept of par and apply it to Global 1940 by agreeing with your group that the “par time” for planning and completing a move is x number of minutes (depending on the size of the power), timed with a stopwatch or similar device. Players using less time (i.e. playing under par) could get a few bonus IPCs as a reward. Players using more time (i.e. playing over par) could get a few IPCs deducted as a penalty. And if you really want to be ruthless, you could even set up an open-ended formula: one IPC bonus granted for each minute under par, and (this is the one that would really hurt, because it’s potentially unlimited in extent) one IPC penalty deducted for each minute over par. This would set up an interesting dynamic: 1) the faster you play, the more units you get, but the greater the chances that you’ll make a costly mistake; and 2) the slower you play, the fewer units you get, but – in principle – the fewer the chances that you’ll make a costly mistake. (Similarly, there are chess sets whose pieces are hollow in proportion to their point value, and which are intended to be filled with booze to be consumed by the player who captures them, thus creating a dynamic along the same lines: the more pieces you capture, the more you weaken the opponent, but the more your own judgment gets affected by the alcohol.)

Wow I really like this idea. My only concern would be that early on the US would probably be under time limit a lot (depending on when they are brought in to the war) Would that extra income swing things too much one way? I don’t know but it sounds like a cool idea to explore. I think we are gonna go straight time limits to start with and get feedback from everybody and then maybe experiment with the par idea. Thanks for the ideas!

majikforce

Really great stuff guys! I agree with the majority of it. My question is what happens to Italy in your games? In our games Germany is the beast and beats up on Russia but our UK is very adept at putting the hurt on Italy and keeps that German underbelly very soft. The race seems to be how fast can US neutralize Japan before Germany takes Russia and how well prepared the UK and US are once that happens.

majikforce

Thanks for all the insight. I must say I do love the thinking part of the game and analyzing all the angles. I think our time limit idea is just to spice it up a little. We play with pretty much the same 4-5 guys and I know for me I mostly have their play style pegged. I think with the slightly quicker decision making we may get to see some interesting or unorthodox decisions. Also I have been known to play the mind games unrelenting. Now with a time limit I might have to keep the chatter to a minimum and maybe we can squeeze in a couple more turns. I like the block idea and we usually have Russia far east go so Japan can start going too. I think our group has agreed on 5 minutes for the first four turns and then it goes to three minutes after that. Anything happening when time runs out is going to go back to where it started as well as anything found to be illegal, because mistakes will be made. Anybody think of any other rules/guidelines we should have?

@Herr:

I would be happy if people in my group were that “fast”…. 13 hrs last time and we still only made turn 6. No wonder we rarely play the game at all.

I have no experience with timed game turns in A&A, but the most time-intensive phase would probably be the combat move. So if you set a time limit for that, the question would be, what precisely to do when time is up. The problem with A&A is that executing a move takes time, simply because there may be many pieces to move - it’s not like chess. So if someone is still busy moving units into a combat zone when the buzzer sounds, you can’t really allow him to finish that entire move, because he will inevitably still be thinking and hesitating while doing that. I think you need to impose on your players to stop moving immediately when time is up, and give them the opportunity to undo the combat move into the last territory or sea zone they were busy moving into, by claiming that they had not finished. Such a claim would have to be made immediately, without further thought, and otherwise the (partial) move would stand.

But that’s just an idea of mine. If you try it, or anything else, I’d be interested to learn how you fare with it.

Good point about mid moves when a timer goes off. I’ll have to poll the group to see what everybody thinks. We are gonna have probably 4-5 players and so far the consensus is you have 5 minutes to buy units, make combat moves. Time stops for rolling combat. Time starts again for non combat. Also thinking about making it 3 minutes. But I wonder if for the first 4 turns time should be longer since those turns are pretty crucial for setting up the framework for the game. I kind of want a frenetic pace to the game but I also don’t want to upset the balance because of something stupid somebody did because of the pace of the game being to fast like leaving their capital open to attack. I am looking forward to seeing scenarios play out and people being forced to decide quickly what to do and not be able analyze the best possible action. I hope we can learn a lot about the game and hopefully have fun.
