@SuperbattleshipYamato Italian starting army in E.Africa is too slow and too weak by itself to take Capetown.If axis is able to control suez canal and can load TTs from sz 81 (red sea) it might be doable.Another plan could be to strafe attack Egypt from Sudan+Alexandria,retreat everything including fast movers to Sudan.
There are not enough Italian Roundels!!!
-
Hmm, South France, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Alexandria, Egypt, Sudan, Jordan, Syria, Gibraltar, Greece, Bulgaria
And France…… Germany had some bad roles and France rolled nothing but ones and twos, left it wide open for Italy. Also add one more on the IPC chart and two more if they have the two NO, now we’re up to 16 needed and we only got twelve. UK is getting kicked out of Africa so Italy is way to short.
Don’t use them for NO tracking. Just memorize the NO’s.
If needed, use French roundels -
I ran into this too and had to use my AA50 roundels
-
There are 15 Roundels… which means they are 2-3 short for taking all of Africa, I’d say just scan them and paste it to some posterboard, viola…
-
I think the easiest solution is to just use French roundels when you run out of Italian ones. It’s not like the French are going to need any of them (ever :wink:) and they look pretty similar.

You stole my idea :-D

I never figured out why its so hard to make 2 sided roundels one side allies other side axis, then way this problem never can happen.
so simple but so difficult…

Because then sorting them would be a nightmare.
-

Hows that?
make them consistent. Every UK flips to Italy, Every Russian flips to Germany, Every USA flips to Italy, France… who cares about them? I guess france can flip to Dutch or be a factory damage marker
major factory flips to minor
Air base flips to naval
simple.
If you know this its easy to sort out.

What if the roundels accidentaly flip over? I’d prefer them to include twice as many instead. It probably costs $3 more, so they’ll double the price of the game
-

yea right.

Are you agreeing with me or disagreeing?
-
ah so this is what you mean by double sided roundels… call me slow but I was never quite sure what that meant. That sounds like a top idea to me.
-
disagreeing?
-
I used the red (5 unit) markers for Italy and even ran out of those…
-
get a piece of paper, sissors, a green marker and a red marker, glue, and a small piece of cardboard……problem solved
-
Just buy 3 copies of the game …… problem solved
-
I had the same problem and solved it by printing small clipart Italian flags on card stock. The little flags work well and allows Italy to dominate with no inconvenience.
-
I just used German roundels flipped over onto the back (black color showing). It worked until I ran out of German roundels, so then we just put them on the boarders, 1 roundel was in 2 territories to show Italian ownership.
-
In my latest Global game we ran out of ANZAC roundels… when Britain and USA were slugging it out with an unlucky Japan, three ANZAC transports went on a rampage and transported infantry all over the place.
-
This is funny, I bought two copies of the game and the shortage of Italian roundels and units (I refuse to use poker chips except as damage markers) was the reason I cracked open the second. No one attacked my Italians and I ran wild.
