EXP Game 1 Trout vs Johnny Cat
-
@beelee This "placement" thing has come up before and all my games have placement BEFORE combat move.
This made no sense to me - but I used it with relish
Then, after the non-combat move, the game presented me with another placement opportunity.
So what is going on here and are we supposed to ignore this first placement phase?

Is the Global 1940 an actual Board Game? As a kid I played all those basic axis and allies boardgames (Europe, pacific, the world) but as I read the rules for this game we are playing it seems to me that this is an actual boardgame! I had thought all this TripleA stuff was computer only.
This would also explain why that Captain person told me about "hand painted pieces" and "playing in person."
I would LOVE to play any of you guys in person - for some reason there is a large bunch of players in Denmark but I would hope that people in the States play as well... You guys know of any clubs or something?

@beelee I am reading those rules and do not see that section on placement anywhere - and a search for the word "placement" produces only 3 results.
I am reading this:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jI_1JdIC-1KiTihBICJAbtX3GpVYnNgf/viewPlease tell me where to find these placement rules you quoted.
Thanks
PS. I did play all those hasbro boardgames - But I gather that some guy in Panama is making actual boardgame maps for this particular version of the game - apparently using the old boardgame pieces as well as custom made units.

yes that's the latest rulebook. Placement is explained on a per unit basis. he doesn't actually use the word "placement". I believe it is "produced'. Triplea refers to it as "placement".
Look at Marines for an example of placing in 1st plase phase. Page 17 of rulebook.
I put all of the 1st place phase units in one spot in the Game Notes that I referenced above. Basically, 1st place phase units are replacing or upgrading an existing unit.
Yes the pictures the Captain posts use a custom map. I believe it's "Lt. Dans" but I'm not certain.
This may be of interest to you but perhaps too far of a drive.

@johnnycat Hey there. Yes, G40 is a boardgame which is why it sometimes appears a bit "weird" as an online game. The placement rules are an example. It throws everybody off when they first play, myself included. But Beelee is correct. The first placement phase is only for unit conversions and repairs really. Allies transforming infantry into Marines & Commandos, Axis converting Germans to SS and repairs to facilities which were bombed or carriers/battleships that were damaged. Because per the rulebook, you are allowed to pay money for those unit conversions and then use them right away. All normal unit buys are placed at the end of the turn. For playing over the board, that's difficult in that you are in Cali, I am in TX, and Beelee lives not close to either of us. There is a boardgaming convention that has a healthy attendance for A&A fanatics but they only play the regular G40, not the House Rules Expansion. In Europe however, there's alot of guys who get together annually to play the HRE. Probably because the game was created and developed by Europeans; Danish to be specific.

@beelee Thanks for the link! I wrote the guy. And thanks for explaining. I love this stuff... So are we gonna play a game now for real (sort of)? I get that I was using the initial placement wrong, hahaha. NO wonder it seems unfair. I could buy bombers, place them before combat phase, then use em in combat to wipe out the German fleet or whatever ... Now I know better.
And I got the paratrooper stuff down...
Marines and special armored divisions and all that stuff seem like a fun little addition too but I am not sure how to connect all that with those top-of-the-game-board locations that seem to actually hold units (like the USA D-Day troops and that UK bomber that continues to bomb Germany even when the UK falls when playing the computer)...
So I'm happy to start a game with you while I crush those Nazis that Tasty Fish is running... @Trout

@trout Got it.
OK Mate - so where we at with our game? As I recall I did a successful albeit mundane R1 turn and we are waiting for your Japanese or am I mistaken.

I think for now it is best for you to play the game against Trout and I will assist with rule clarifications and mostly how triplea implements them.
It's a learning process.
One thing about Armored Inf, is that Artillery boost them to Attack 3. That helps on amphibous attacks as they can't outrun the Artillery. They Defend at 3 too. -

@johnnycat Just so you are tracking. USA can't declare war until end of Round 3. Triple A will trigger that automatically unless bad guys attack Americanos first. Also, Japanese can declare war on Soviets and USA doesn't care. But if Japanese attack UK or ANZAC, they do care and will declare.
