I think it says that there are 4 fighters in the UK

Still think its 3 cause i looked at other 4s and its not the same blur. any other opinions?

Sure looks like “1 fighters” to me……

Ah, vindication.  :-D

Guys:

Just look at the picture of the set up card. Thats the only proof to determine what the set up is.

You cant go by what PEOPLE did and took a picture of. People who never played before make mistakes

Secondly, the set up is the primary documentation because thats what you go by to set up the game. You don’t go by a “picture of the map with pieces” do you?

The only question is to determine the values of the quantity of pieces, due to the unclear nature of the numbers. That remains speculation except that the same result has been confirmed by others, compiled and posted in its clearest form.

Take what is posted ( the set up on page one) and discuss difference from what you think it reads. Thats the only topic here for discussion.

@SgtBlitz:

There have to be at least 2 if not 3 (or even 4) fighters in the UK at setup since it says “fighterS” in the UK setup card.

Uh, yeaaaahhhhhh……  And isn’t this game made by the same people who put “artilley” on the setup card, and didn’t put Honolulu on Hawaii, and had a major complex in Australia, and a minor on New Zealand, etc etc etc

More convincing is the picture with a chip under the fighter.  Not convincing - the plural of “fighter” being on the setup card  :lol:

:-D

!!!

[savage]

I concur with Proud American

[Jake Geismer]

In the pic I see 2 infantry in Anglo-Egypt Sudan,
but the setup card indicates just 1…
am I wrong?

[LHoffman]

I find this interesting, but I really don’t care right now. I can’t play it yet, so it doesn’t matter.

As long as this isn’t an error in that there should be 4 fighters not 3 or whatever… but still. Doesn’t matter right now.

[Proud American]

theres 3 egyptian territories.

Alexandria
Egypt
Anglo Egypt Sudan

Alexandria
Egypt
Anglo Egypt Sudan

Is that the answer to my question?
Sorry, but I can’t understand what you mean…

[Proud American]

OK. maybe this will help.

It is probably a 4, but it is definitely not a 1 (compare it to the other 1’s on the chart PLUS plurar for “fighters”)
4 makes the most sense (but cannot be confirmed since there are no other 4’s on the chart) because of the attack on the Bismarck (djensen testgame) and the stacks of chips under the fighters (djensen testgame) and lastly for historical accuracy and game balance.

You’re right,
but I was saying that in Djensen’s pic I can see 2 inf in Anglo Egypt Sudan,
while the setup chart indicates just 1 inf in that territory.

[Proud American]

prob a set up error

[maverick_76]

I looked at the setup card and to be blunt if you put a gun to my head I couldn’t honestly say anything.

it’s a 4

edit: i was gonna compare with the german set up card for verification, but i can’t find where anymore it is?

[Proud American]

I verified with Germany and its the same. Ill attach both to help everyone.

[special forces]

Thanks!

Although i just found it too, and it is indeed the same 4 (a little debris on the left of the | and the  3 is clearly different with a curve on the bottom)

[San Chillos]

It’s 3 and a half.

Seriously, the more I look at it, the less I am sure. But it’s 3 or 4, not anything else.

By the way, there’s 2 fighters in West Germany, not 3.
