Here they are. Perfect size. Put them next to a dice. Have 10 of 7 different colors and 2 extras. Might leave them as is because they do stand out with the color.

How would we do the transaction? Do you have a paypal account? How would you want me to send you your money?
Here’s another pic.
Here’s the map after turn 7.

What color are those yellowish troops and those darker tan troops in the picture?

So I’m assuming Russia is winning the battle currently?
Looks that way know. Will have to see what happens in next 2 turns.
Also I think the weather chart may have to be tweaked a bit with having 1 or 2 rain or snow weather spots changed to good in each of the rows if Germany can never seem to get going.
Probably might not be playing correctly too. Just got to play more games. Just a thought.

Well keep posting. I’m curious to see how it goes. :-)
Sorry gang, I had the current rules on BGG but the descriptions were old. Fixed that.
Thank you Variable for doing that! :-)

Thank SS for getting me to take a second look! :-D :-D
Russia victory after 9 turns. Germany has nothing left.
Going to have to play alot more to figure things out. Got to get everything timed out. Russia had 53 infrantry in Moscow that defended at 6 because they drew a card for all inf defend at +2 in citys on attack on murphy’s law chart. Germany had to attack because Russia was at 138 icp’s. So was seeing if Russia would lose better pieces. If you roll high die numbers, the better pieces get killed first on the casualities list. Germany had a chance until the inf defended at 6. Great 2 man game. Ton of planning to do.

It really looks like a cool game. After I play Global a couple of times. I want to try this game as well as the other campaign type games. Thanks for showing your game. :-)
OK, I own the map and am planning to set up and play the game next week or so. Some remarks and questions:
*Is there a d12 battleboard available for download somewhere (inlcuding all the advanced pieces)?
Are there fortification and lend lease rules in this game?
You go to page 9 and down load the rules. Land lease is used starting on certain turn. Russia gets 8 icps per turn when activated. Forts dont remember.
I made the weather chart to reflect the unpredictability of the weather on the Eastern front during the war. Remember the winter snow came earlier than normal and stayed longer…also the muddy conditions after the thaw hurt the Germans. I know that in some games the weather has played a huge factor, but this is part of the strategy the German and Russian players have to account for. The axis could wind up with awesome wether during the winter and push further into Russia or they could have 4 turns of snow and mud (6 months) that would almost be disastrous for a fast blitzkrieg.
Possible to change 1 rain or snow to a good in each column if Germany seems to never win. Tigerman, of all the games you played and others, what kind of wins and loses do the Allies and Axis have?
At first the Russians would win around turn 8-9. But or last 2 games Russia was unable to hold Leningrad and this allowed the extra help from the Fins. This gave the Axis a victory by turn 10-11. I will say if the weather isn’t good it hurts the Axis more than the Russians. One rule we added in our game that may not have made the 4.0 revision; Russia loses 5 pics for every factory lost. This helped balance the game a little more.
