Spray on primer? I have painted thousands of minature warships,tanks, infantry :-o :-o and planes over the years and I have never realized I needed to put a primer base on them.  I have always washed them and after they dried painted them in the chosen patterns. So if you are suggesting primer what do you use since even on my 1-700 scale Warship collection I never used a primer.  Maybe it was written to do so but I can’t read Japanese, no instructions in English.

@Lunarwolf:

fmg is doing the penn class now?

Yeah, they are.  A lot of people want more early war models of equipment since the main game now is Global 1940.  The South Dakota, North Carolina and Iowa classes didn’t come out until after 1941.

In the 1939 variant, I combined ANZAC and CANADA into a new power THE COMMONWEALTH.  The income was split between the two sides of the map (Ottawa / Sydney).  The twist was that this power shares the SAME TURN as the UK.  So they can work in concert with the UK and Calcutta forces.

Yeah I already know that, but it would be better if they were separated nations, at least i  my opinion

They are separate Nations, but controlled by one player.  They have separate economies, Capitols etc…

So house-rule them into a different turn order.

Though, to be quite honest, on their own Anzac and Canada as completely separate nations would be like playing France … more or less useless.
Anzac may do alright, but Canada just doesn’t have enough to do anything without the assistance of the UK (which is why having them move on the same turn as the UK and Anzac, all in cooperation, is an amazing way to do it.  It makes for some very interesting moves, especially if you have different people playing UK and Canada/Anzac)!

But I want them to be in a differnet turn order

@cminke:

top secret eh good choice… release it when you have it…considering the battering you’ve been getting over you dice and units:(

Yep… :?

@cminke:

why not?

I’m gonna buy more painted army factions and maybe the italian set of FMG

Ok then. Thanks for the answers :-D

@Rorschach:

@12doze12:

I just have one answer.

The boards, the units, the dice trays and the boxes come with the box right?

No.  The ammo box itself, the boxes FOR the units and the dice trays come with it.  Pretty clear in the product description on the website i think.

Ok, thank you

How about something Pacific Island style defense. Heavy gun peaking out of hill. Okinawa style defense system.  Just a thought. A german blockhouse will look silly on Iwo Jima.

Yeah, wasn’t the movie called “Final Countdown”?  I think it was something like that.  The USS Nimitz got sucked back to 1941.  They tried to warn Pearl Harbor but the Naval personnel of the time didn’t believe them since there was no USS Nimitz in the 1941 US Fleet.  Then they sent their own jet fighters to stop the Japanese only to have the time vortex suck them back to the 1970s again.  So Pearl Harbor happened anyway.
You know, that movie was so long ago that I can’t remember why they were sent back to 1941 then brought back right before the attack, but I imagine that was a good thing.  Pearl Harbor was a terrible disaster but it brought the US into the war when the Allies desperately needed it.  If not for Pearl Harbor, and Hitler and Musolini declaring war on the US a few days later, how much longer would it have been before the US actually got into the war?  Would the Axis have expanded too much and been too strong by then?  I know that Hitler gave strict orders to his U-Boat captains not to sink US ships because he didn’t want the US in the war.  Roosevelt knew that the US would eventually get dragged into the war, but how much longer would it have taken?  A year, two years, more?
Also, do you think there is a possibility that if Pearl Harbor hadn’t happened, would the US have gone into the war primarily in Europe and left Japan alone?  I imagine this would also have to assume that the Japanese did not also attack the Philippines, Wake, Guam and Midway.

I spray mine with a white primer, then a white paint. I then use a finish to protect the paint.
Make sure you turn the piece white with the primer, the paint dos not cover as well as primer.

the b-25j was at Hawaii wasent it?

@crenk:

I am thinking about using infantry from previous AA editions to represent neutral army strengths on the board. I am planning on spray painting based on strict neutral, favor allies etc. My question is this:  I have extras of every nation, so what model would be best to represent the different nations? In other words, which infantry would be the closest match to what the neutral nations army would have looked like?

MY THOUGHT SO FAR:

South America:
Venezuela-? American
Chile-? Germany
Argentina-? Germany
Brazil-? American

Africa:
Angola- UK
Mozambique- UK

Mid East:
Saudi Arabia-? UK
Iraq- Germany-? Yes
Persia-? UK
Afghanistan- UK

Europe:
Turkey- ? UK
Greece- ? UK
Bulgaria- Germany
Yugoslavia- ? UK
Switzerland- ? American
Spain- ? Germany
Portugal- ? American
Sweden- ? Germany
Finland- Germany

Asia:
Olgiy- USSR
Dzavham- USSR
Ulaanbaatar- China
Buyant Uhaa- China

Any insight or thoughts would be appreciated

Hi, my opinion in red in your post. Spain and Sweden were based from the political situation in A&A Global War 1939, where they can become pro-axis and Turkey pro-allies. Cheers

your welcome. if you want any tips, i know that dannyboy216 is also working on a cold war scenario that takes place in the 60s. maybe you could talk to him, his 1947 scenario was great. he does really good NOs. some people really like the amount of navy that both sides have. keep it up

Hello, Has anyone purchased this game and are the pieces in size compatiable to Axis and Allies Pacific 1940?

Cheers

remember the box is $2.95

NOW I see it! It is a little bunker with a flag. It has firing slits around it.

Gents, does anyone know the scale of AA aircraft? 1-600 or 1-300?  I figured out they are not 1-700 scale waterline size.  I-94 Enterprises has decals in both sizes.

Cheers

Okay i get ya now. ya I know this isn’t like A&A. Thats why I like it.

Bump!

I have it, but am holding onto it for further playtesting on the set-ups.

Europe is being slightly changed in terms of the map, and there will be some minor additions to the rules.  These changes will probably be part of the map/rule package I am looking into producing.  Pacific would be released this way as well if all falls together.

Cheers

The new pictures are awesome coach
