absolutely not… that is not fair. 8 chinese units? what are they, rabbits? ;)
got it… italians are eating lunch. we’ll get to it later…
Well, they ARE Chinese! If you lined em all up and walked them past you in a parade, you would NEVER reach the end of the Parade!

okay… good, you caught the british tanks in india… for a second i was all excited until i realized you forgot to place them, too. :-P

Yea…need those! lol.
Watch for those American ships off the coast of Suriname (North of Brazil) they can pummel your Japanese fleet if you move it SE.
yes, unfortunately i have seen that. the american fleet has nearly-nuclear capability… they are everywhere! only chance is to try to catch the russians leaning the wrong way, but the bottleneck in the middle east is proving a tough go.
i’m sure play testing resulted in the ipc values of those various countries between egypt and india. if italy could build a major ic somewhere in the south-eastern mediterranean (egypt or iraq), the game would be over quickly. or if the british ic in india was minor… but then, those things would change the dynamic very quickly and make relatively unimportant territories suddent the key strategic places in the game.
game still tilts allies without a bid, although i think the axis can win about 1 in 4 games given fairly even dice. it is just so far to moscow… jeez… if the u.s. goes full pacific from the outset, i don’t see how the axis can win, barring freakish dice…
They wouldnt be able too anyway, since none of the territories would be Italian nationality, but only conquered lands.
I would like to see Libya increased from 1 IPC to 2 IPC so that Italy can build a minor complex in N. Africa, however.
Just a game reminder
haven’t forgotten… a crazy weekend complete with kidney stones! :/
