… Back to the European half of the G40 board…

Another intriguing possibility arising out of a significant Axis presence in South America is a pathway to an option for German Government in Exile in… you guessed it: Argentina.

Yup! Scale was perfect for the map…the infantry are too large to fit comfortably in Belorussia or West Russia, but they fit great in France, Italy, Africa, and China! Quality is 3.5/5 stars. Some of the infantry didn’t detach cleanly from the sprue, and the modeling is slightly chunky, but overall the pieces are durable, handsome, and clearly distinguishable.

Each power with a capital gets to place 1 piece of Infrastruture on the board each turn FOR FREE.

Whether that is railroads/centers, sea mines, land mines, fortifications, or otherwise, it’s at each power’s discretion. (Maybe nothing more than 8IPC value?)

For every 20 IPC’s made after that (Not capture), Said power gets an additional piece to place each turn for FREE.

The reason it’s for free, is quite simply, that alot of these infrastructure pieces might not see regular integration, unless you’re just going to get them anyways. It represents some of the more civilian input into the war effort.

If you couple this, with a map overlay, of where infrastructure should already be historically, and with the Scars of War/Battle Damage package. This could make things incredibly interesting.

Perhaps you could also choose to REPAIR damaged infrastructe (Not factories) during the purchase phase, instead of placing one of your new ones.

I recently went back to my older games and incorporated the newer pieces into them. I only went as far back as Revised. At first I thought it would simply be a matter of altering the setup some but found a few more problems:
1 - In the older games, Destroyers were 3-3-2-12, same as Cruisers are now. Also, Aircraft Carriers had an attack of 1, now they have no attack value. So basically, you have to bring the costs back to the older games and you have to use the 1940 battle boards.
2 - You can’t use air or naval bases in the older games. Especially in Revised because there are a lot less sea zones. For example, with a naval base, Japan and W USA are one move away from each other.
3 - ICs and build limits also present a problem. In the older games, you simply have ICs and their build limit is based on the IPC value of the territory they are on. I don’t know how to incorporate Major and Minor ICs into the older games. I simply used the new unit values with the old IC rules.

Well, I hope this helps you. If you would like my setup changes, let me know and I can post them for you.

This is what we use for V2 rockets

V2 Rockets
Cost 2 IPCs. They are produced at IC’s and move two (transported by train/truck). They are used at your AA guns in place of your normal rocket attack; they are immune to AA flyover fire and AA fire in targeted territory, due to their sub orbital attack and being faster than the speed of sound on approach. Range is still the same (3). Roll two dice and choose the better dice of the two. Can only move in combat movement phase if movement results in its being used at an AA gun location for a rocket attack. Are otherwise considered as non combat vehicles on defense and may be targeted by attacking tactical bombers.
