Thank you very much.

I’m drooling

Holy Cow AH and Germany have HUGE numbers of men compared to everyone else.
-
Balancing method, especially if Italy starts at war.
The map looks very crowded in the middle, even without aircraft. I suspect it’ll need off map army holders to be playable, especially on the Western Front.
No Malta or Gibraltar?
I like having southern Africa, but not if it makes Europe so small.
Portugal is a French stooge state? No French garrison in central Africa?
Still, the rules will be the most interesting thing, and could yet make this a classic.

do we know that’s an accurate set up? Remember French tanks in Africa on the Europe '40 box

Looks very cool. Definitely a must buy. Map at an angle is cool but might be awkward at a table- maybe. All else seem very nice. :-D

Yeah, no planes suggests they put the pic together before full production.
Even so I’m guessing either army boards or stacking limits to avoid overcrowding the Western Front. No boards mentioned, so stacking limit: say 15 units per area? Would force players into buying mixture of units instead of buying big piles of infantry.
The price doesn’t seem very nice, especially when you add shipping cost. Probably set me back £100 Sterling by the time it gets over here.
And I’d still be short of cavalry, destroyers, 3 types of aircraft and 2 types of artillery. Call it a starter set…

Yeah I’m assuming it’s a simple promo shot that doesn’t actually reflect the start set up.

Wonder how the Anzacs enter the game - I’m assuming they are represented somehow.
They could almost be U.K. Elites - equivalent to German Stormtroopers - since they were at the forefront of the final Allied drive to victory in the West.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Amiens_(1918)
Maybe some form on N.A?

red chips, blue chips

Well the Canadian troops didn’t look any different and they were as elite and elite got in the British Army.
-
Yes, but Canada is on the map, so Canadian units can be raised. I just hope this game doesn’t ignore the Anzac contribution just because they couldn’t stretch the map that far.
-
I don’t know what compelled them to distort Africa as much as they did. It looks ridiculous. That map is terrible. :roll:
-
Well if your going to have both NYC & Bombay without an overly huge map-something
had to give (in case Africa).The German colonies were less than a side show so why the
entire South Africa region was include is an interesting question.Can’t wait for some better Board pictures.

we I don’t see anything that looks like a IC piece but I do see what looks like maybe in my worst nightmares as a cardboard IC
-
I think they are printed on the map, so no cardboard
-
i hope no card board (like i don’t just use the plastic ones from older games anyway.)

Just roughed out an eastward expansion of my map to reach India. Need to read more about CP invasion of Persia to finalize this; may make Makran and/or Afghanistan impassable, but that makes India invulnerable.

Also need to research the various tribes in Arabia.
Wondering if its worth adding Haiti:

what game is that map for?
-
The battle of Haiti?

@Imperious:
