Somewhere under all this, there’s a topic about an inf and a bomber…
Neither are necessary Special Forces.
The Allies can win without them. I also think the UK Inf is not missing. One works fine, as there are two Anzac ones. The second one is to (half ) compensate the UK in Europe alone for the missing two Anzacs. That is where the one Inf is missing: in Europe stand alone!
Yavid sets the thunderdome! Not since the epic showdown between mantlefan and Commander Jeniffer has there been such an anxiously awaited battle of two titans of Axis and Allies. The crowd gathers in awe to witness the final bloodbath!
who wants to be the Axis and who is the Allies?
Flip a coin. Make the thread!

…exhaustive playtest…
I don’t know about that.

I do agree, it would be weird that such a big game would be defined by the lack of 1 or 2 pieces. In fact the italian bomber bothers me more than the absence of a Russian one (i can buy it after all).
As for Egypt, i personally like the 2 Australian infs, as sooner or later they turn out to be useful (for example when Anzac flies a fighter over via Brasil), same for the 2 french infs in Europe.
But i’ll play with whatever the game gives me.
good now this tread can have it’s topic back

When or where did i post that?
You have been able to use the 2 French Inf in Uk offensively? Wow. Thought they were just collected benefits, marrying English ladies and using our once excellent NHS!
Think it is tidier making the Anzac ones UK, so they can be used offensively with the rest of her African units, but no matter.
It is a good game. Am not complaining any more.

Wasn’t the NHS made after world war two? So there is no way those Frenchys could be using it.
On topic I dislike the idea of a Russian bomber, but figure UK could use an extra infantry in Europe games only, as to compensate for a missing ANZAC infantry.
That said I use what the game gives me.
Got me. It was .
Was being facetious and really commenting on the 2012 state of affairs where the country is overpopulated and the situation worsening.
Politics!

Haha, well, the french fighter flew over and at a certain point they attacked 1 italian tank in Trans Jordan (to open up the Suez).
The plan was good but sadly i couldn’t hit even once (and this was even in low luck, so anything but a 6 was good. Of course i threw 6 twice, tank hit me twice, fighter retreated, sigh… but normally it would’ve been a useful move)
Never underestimate the power of seperate turns!
Unlucky! I forgot about the French Ft. I find that usually dies in a scramble before it can be used in conjunction with any Inf.

Your first post in the thread.
I think to call the playtesting exhaustive is exaggerating a bit.

The comment was regarding the Alpha 1-3 process. The people who tested the ORIGINAL GAME had only three play-tests. That is ridiculous.
The play testing process was ridiculous, I felt like an unpaid game developer.

that’s because you were
Let me clear up what seems to be a popular misconception. Playtesters do not get paid - it’s strictly voluntary.
