I saw several of those expansions in their bins during the play-test weekend. I would recommend contacting Mr. Friend about them. I know for a fact that they have some Croatia and a few Winter War. Didn’t really look into the others.
Since the Commonwealth shares all technology, they would all roll for their bond “Drive” in the collect income phase. ANZAC, FEC, Canada, UK, even South Africa if played seperately would all roll for each “nation’s” bond value. If UK springs for advanced radar, they all have advanced radar. SAme with improved shipyards or advanced infantry tactics. It is all shared.
I’ve been waiting for these too. I have a feeling they’ll be rolled out when/after global 1936 comes out. It appears they are concentrating on getting the new map and rules sorted out.
Koba, I think your right. I think they will start with the map and rules, and then move forward from there. :-)
Read the rules. Generally happy with what I see. Greatly simplified in the right places (e.g. no more US dud torpedoes) while some optional complexity is added in others (terrain rules).
One thing I really do miss, however, is the inability to retreat for the defender?? Was that decision made simply for reasons of added playing time?
