@oztea:

I think its more important to kill the UK home fleet.

What, I didn’t make it clear enough how much it needed to be destroyed?

@Frontovik:

that are tactics…
where is your main focus: russia or france?
combining france with italy conquest might be good idea (so combined with austria)

France, as I rather screamed. You must- I cannot emphasize this enough- MUST destroy France quickly. The Pincer, and Germany as a whole, is built for speed. Allow the Allies to seize the initiative, and you may as well surrender already.

@Cyprian:

Why send any troops to Prussia?

And what about sending 2 subs to seazone 2?

I suppose you could send all troops to Silesia if you wanted, but remember that Poland must be secured to be able to place all focus on the Western Front. It doesn’t particularly matter where the troops go, just so long as the Russian can’t break through.
And I am not willing to sacrifice any naval power from the grand assault on the Royal Navy. They must be wiped out and fast to keep reinforcements from reaching France. Germany cannot outproduce both Britain and France.

No retreating with air units seems sort of silly.

Biggest day for pageviews, August 25, 2020 with 38,416

hmmm. time machine?

Heh, I meant 2010.

Perhaps you can get behind the simplistic solution flash to not allow US units to move.
Doesn’t upset the balance of how many units they would have by turn 4, just where they are.

without a restriction on movement. In picardy on turn 3 with 4 units
WITH a restriction on movement. In picardy on turn 5 with 6-8 units

Or, like, this morning.

Russia starts with a lot of units. At first it doesn’t look like much until you start mobilizing those minor powers. I need to play another few games tho.

Why is the only historical stuff we get the things that are useless, like infantry in every territory or destroyers not being present, while they leave out things like battlecruisers, gas attacks, and the Konigsberg?

Yes, I think the American Expeditionary Force would be most useful in Italy, probably. Attacking Spain is just silly.

@BJCard:

Flashman, why do you keep saying ‘Turqy’?  Is that what it is supposed to be or is it a British English spelling or what?  Always been ‘Turkey’ to me.

He’s poking fun at the fact that Turkey has the color turquoise in this game.

…the word turquoise, which dates to the 16th century, is derived from an Old French word for ‘Turkish’, because the mineral was first brought to Europe from Turkey, from the mines in historical Khorasan Province of Iran.

BOOOOM! Historical basis for them being turquoise.

…or just e-mail them

“Hi you loosers in the next room etc…”

I personally bought 2 copies of Spring 1942 to get extra pieces, because they were cheap, and then bought 1 copy of 1942 2nd Edition for all the nice upgrades. I am very happy with '42 2nd Ed.

I skipped the original Eur & Pac 1940 games but later bought 1 copy of each of the 2nd Editions, so no major financial cost to me there. I’m very glad I did that, and I’m very happy with the 2d Editions (and Global) now.

As for 1914, I would prefer to get a 2nd Edition instead of the 1st (if a 2nd is ever released). I don’t mind paying for the whole game as long as I hadn’t already bought the 1st Ed. I am disappointed by the lack of individual unit sculpts for the rest of the units, although the Infantry look nice. I’m in no hurry to purchase 1914; I will wait and see what people think of the game once they’ve got it in their hands and played a few times first.

Well, supply over sea zones would solve the lost capital issue for the French and maybe Italians.  I suppose if Istanbul is taken, the ottomans would have crumbled anyway, so not worried there.  If Berlin or Vienna go, then thats probably game.

Good one, bro.

I also got mine from Cool Stuff, I traded in some surplus AA Miniatures for store credit, they give a 20% bonus if you choose the credit over cash. CS gives really good money for trade-ins.

Like Flashman said, I’m banking on a 2nd edition next year so I only got 1 copy for now, and of course 3 Bandits High boosters to make it $100.  When are you board gamers going to start playing AA minis?  Sorry, different thread :-D

@ossel:

I don’t mean to be a party pooper here, but wouldn’t it just be easier to have most of these ‘place 1 unit here to represent xx’ be reflected in the initial setup?

I think the idea isn’t to have them there as part of the initial setup, they come into play later in certain turns on based on player actions on the board.

Thanks!

Here’s an idea Shakespeare; stop stealing the Admin’s show and actually ASK him if you can post such information.

You know, he runs this site, puts in the effort to show us everything, and then someone comes along and spoils his work. Not very nice.

TVW, also dealing with a similar issue on another forum.

All 24 pages of them!

@DarthShizNit:

I want a Spanish Civil War one, then Axis and Allies would have covered my two favorite military conflicts.

Hehe… reminds me of a bit from Frasier where Niles and Daphe are arguing in the coffee house about whether the US or English Civil Wars were better.  Then Frasier walks in and when they solicit his opinion, he says Spanish!  But I don't have time to prove it...

Nothing to do with the OP but just a random thought popping into my head.
