@Cow:

ONE BOMBER, WHERE IS RUSSIA’S ONE BOMBER.

If it’s that important to you, just make it a house rule where Russia starts with one.  :-P

[Noll]

I hope that in next installments of this game Larry will consider buffing both Italy and Russia, in order to make it enjoyable to play one of those two nations in a live game.

[Imperious Leader]

Buffing?

you mean include  two Orbital Buffers so you can shine car?

Yea sure i guess…

Oh NM you mean more spaces between Italy and Russia. :mrgreen:

[Gargantua]

I’m sorry to hear you are confused IL.

I guess you don’t have alot of experience with recieving buffs?

[Imperious Leader]

No not confused, but i have my cars shined by auto detailers every week and they use orbital buffers.

[Cow]

Italy has germany to back it up, Russia is alone (takes 3 turns by the shortest route to get fighters from usa).

ONE BOMBER. JUST ONE BOMBER MAN.

[ghr2]

I thought it was 4 moves

[Cow]

hollywood->Japan waters->midchina->russia.

4 if you count placement. But yeah no garauntee you got fleets parked at japan waters to shuck figs over.

[ghr2]

Well it seems more likely for Washington -> Iceland -> Finland -> Moscow  or if u have an AB in gib and syria.

[Cow]

When do you ever have finland?

[BulwFi]

Soviets take Finland often enough, if Germany goes south Barbarossa, only for a turn or two mind.

[BulwFi]

5 ipc value to USSR is priceless

Sorry it’s taken so long. I was working a little bit on this yesterday. The differences in the versions are slight:

• Same map, except for the production chart at the top.
• More pieces, 50+ per set.
• Some new pieces as you saw from squirecam
• Rules are at the very least the latest Alpha (I haven’t read through them and I’ll be getting help on this)
• New setup, in a few territories it’s quite drastic.

That’s it really.

I’ll be posting the setup and the map later today.

[Gargantua]

WTH?

• New setup, in a few territories it’s quite drastic.

I thought the setup was the same as alpha 3!

It’s NEW?

@djensen:

…

  …

New setup for Global (other than latest Alpha) or for the theater games only?

[djensen]

Since I haven’t been keeping up with Alpha, I don’t know.

What I do know is that the setup printed on the storage boxes in each of the games does not match the previous version.
