Well, a redesigned larger map would give extra space in which to put the plastic units, which would be nice, but it wouldn’t necessarily mean that it would take longer for the units to travel across the board because that would depend on whether the sea zones and land territories are large in size but few in number, or small in size but large in number. In the particular case of my custom table, neither factor was changed because the plastic units only get put on the normal four-panel part of the map. The auxiliary map panel on the left is just meant to help with the wrap-around visualization – though as a bonus, it also gives some extra free space as a handy working surface, as do the two table wings.

We are playtesting this idea now. I was against it at first until I listens more closely. This may work very well and if it does then it will be the best way to go- NOT my QBETA.
I am trying this out with 6VC on the Pac side- to get the US offensively involved in the Pacific, but this may prove too easy for Axis. If it does, then the 7VC on Pac I believe will work. US would then just defend Hawaii with its life and go KGF- though not as strong as they must secure Hawaii- Japan would be the aggressor in the Pacific in this case. 8VC for the Euro side is pretty fair- I don’t see issues with that.

Questions:
1. Is this solution on top of the Alpha set up changes for pacific?
2. Are Global victory conditions unchanged? You still need 14, unless either of the theater specific thresholds are reached?
Thanks

how do you get to 14 w/o having 8 or 6 and thus winning? You’d win at 13…

MaherC,
Thanks. Yes, I wasn’t thinking it through. (and thanks for not adding… “duh!”).
How about question 1. I am assuming the victory condition change is on top of the alpha set up change. Is that correct?
-
yes

great news looks like my post over on larry’s site did not fall on deaf ears.
i hope my idea is not only being considered but does get implemented into the errata.
