There were a few wars fought in South America in the early 30’s. I don’t know who had who’s backing in those conflicts. There was the Guerra del 41 between Equador and Peru. I know the US supported Peru and Japan supported Equador, but I’m pretty sure that support was from the bleachers. The only equipment I can tell you for sure that was used was the Czech LTP (Panzer 38t). These were used by Peru.
Peru had all the gear. They actually prepared for war. This lead to Peru having a 3-4 to 1 advantage in men and equipment. Except for tanks. Equador had none. Peru had around 25. Take a wild guess at who won.
Axis & Allies To Go idea

And put the dice and baggies in the tube.
But use 7 baggies… 1 for dice, 1 for chips :-)
Also, with the “World Restricted” format, you can go 8 VC and have it be a viable game. That should ahve it come in under 3 hours.
-
Yea and use a sand timer for movement… if you want to go hardcore then do the all axis all allies movement sceme that we are developing under AARHE. It will reduce playing time by 35%

- Rent a laptop or bring your own.
- Use the internet in the hotel room (most have access, or at least can give you an AOL dialup number and you can use a “free” trial.)
- Using Abattlemap and a Dicey, play low luck rules.
- Start the map on R2. (Basically start with how units NORMALLY look on Russia’s second turn, starting.)
Usually, we know there’s 2 BBs, 1 Carrier, 2 Fighters and a Transport in Hawaii. Karelia has a mass of infantry (about 19) and 2 planes. Yakut has 7 infantry, 1 tank. Germany holds FWA, FEq and Egypt with a screener in Ukraine and the rest of his units in E. Europe. Fighters in W. Europe.
Brition has a carrier with 2 American planes on it, and a transport.
Etc.

Ah, these are excellent iedas. I wish I had a vinyl map for this weekend.
-
Take your board to Kinkos and get a color laminated copy. Should not set you back too much in terms of cost, and will take very little time.
-
Does Kinkos do Vinyl rollups too?
-
No they suck. And they wont copy material from a produced game. Go to your local Mom/Pop print shop. They dont play politics.
-
If you print the job using, “File, Print, Kinkos …” they don’t seem to care.
Not sure if I can do vinyl with the online Kinko’s service anyway.
-
I think vinyl is a send-out service.
Won;t be in time to hlp with this trip, but if you want vinyl, go to a local sign and print shop. Heck, they could make you one that was about 30 feet long if you wanted :-)

The A&AR board is only about 8" x 8" folded up. It turns out that I can fit all of the other peices that I need in my 7" dice tray.
