EXP G40 Game 4 Trout vs JCat
-
Guys I want you to help me understand where all the Russian units are.
I see one territory that has two LABELS (1st AG amd 2nd) whatever those are.
Meanwhile there are a thousand ruskies placed in this upper bar.
As you can see, THERE IS NO WAY TO ASSOCIATE the units in the upper bar with the two little icons that look so small and innocent but likely have 500 armor units in them hahaha
Also want to know what a 1AG is. What is AG
and are there special flying units too? THANKS
-
AG means Army Group. 1st AG is 1st Army Group. 2nd with red star token is 2nd corps. Those units are listed in the 2nd Corps Box.
If you hover on the icon unit or token it will give a more detailed explanation of what it is. Game Notes and/or rulebook for complete info on them.
I'm not certain but I hear rumor the Americans may be working on a secret Flying unit. Still trying to find out more.
Lexi is on the job

@johnnycat AG’s are in the rule book of course. They contain two armies and ten other units. So Belarus has an AG with 1st Army and 1st Tank Army plus the dudes/army’s in the box plus 2nd Army plus everything else in Belarus
-
@johnnycat For your AAA question, each AAA can shoot at 3. Two AAAs can shoot at six, etc. AAA don’t shoot when just flying over them. Not realistic but that’s the rule in every single Axis/Allies game; not just G40
-
Actually i think one of the early A&As had AA on all the time. They changed it because it shot the shit outta everything lol
Or maybe that was just a triplea option
-
I think my question must of not been very clear so I will try again.
NOTE: When I hover my mouse pointer over those symbols I DO NOT see any description.
-
Could you please take a screen shot of that for me so I can see that is not being shown on my Mac?
-
What is the symbol "2nd" in Belarus? What does it stand for and where are those units actually located?
-
Are there 18 units or 24 units in the First Army Group ?
-
What is "3rd Korps" in the upper box and why is there a one soviet commissar in the box there?
-
The rules talk about "Army Groups" being comprised of two "armies" and 10 land units.
What is an "Armie? Those 4-unit things or those 6-unit tank things?
- This is important so I will ask another way:
Where does the 6-unit armor group fit into the Army Group? OR Does the 6-unit armor group NOT fit into the Army Group?
- The upper box has 6 tank units inside a box titled, "first tank", yet I do not see a symbol for this "1st tank" anywhere?
THANK YOU very much. I just want to make sense of this because intuitively there is a huge gap between reality and what I see on my game board.
PS Had the session today and despite my thinking that all would be good now, it aint.

@beelee thanks
Ok so the program I have on the Mac is different but I think I get it. 18 guys in the 1 army group and 6 armor in the 1st armor group for a total of 24 units.
Correct?
-
@johnnycat 1st AG is 6 (tank army) + 4 (1st commissar army) + 6 dudes + 3 arty + 1 mech = 20. 2nd Army is 1 commissar + 1 guard + 2 tanks =4. So somehow your total math is correct in that it's 24 for the AG and 2nd Army. Belarus has all of that plus whatever is showing up as being there
-
@trout thank you for das Clarification
So an army group is 10 land units plus 2 little armies. Little armies meaning : 4-unit OR 6-unit armor
So 20 units
But it could be 18 if your second little army was a 4-unit thing yes?
Cannot be 24 units ? 10 land plus two tank armies?
But the way
The confusion lies in the graphics. I am expecting to see some connection between what you have in the upper boxes and a clear unambiguous label down in the map and that is just not the case.Not complaining but suggesting that Whoever is in charge of that could benefit all by updating the upper box names and upper box label with the markers that are put on the map @beelee

This is becoming our most interesting game I feel
df20503f-1b4d-4c5b-b981-c8404856dcae-trout-cat-game-4-GERMANY_5.tsvg
Now that I understand it I was very careful to fill up my two army groups this entire game. And it looks like I just made it correct with the Army group center being able to all move 2 while the army group north is slowed down by all the walking zombies.
