WWII shows that most countries who were attacked by Germany lost pretty badly. Thank Russia for saving the world!
You mean thank Russia for saving themselves. What countries did they liberate?
East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, just to name a few. Oh yeah, Latvia, Estonia, a chunk of Finland.
Taking for yourself does not qualify as being liberating. All they did was change the conquering nation.
Please go back to the original. I was being sarcastic. I even said that. It was a joke!
I was just trying to be like your class.

I see we have clearly figured out that quoting device and are making good use of it there mike. I’ve never seen a stack like that before!
Welcome to the boards.
P.S. You a 'Riders fan?

Yup! Raised in Saskatchewan. Played football in junior high and high school and now I referee football in Grande Prairie, Alberta. I keep trying to wear my Rider hat on the field, but the other refs won’t let me. Bunch of Eskimo fans. I thought of using the name “Canuck Truck” but decided to go with his picture instead. My other choices were the roundel which you’re already using or the Red Ensign. It’s fun doing the “quote thingy”. Thanks for the welcome.

I think that he has achieved his quote quota.
@The:
Banter back and forth in my gaming group is that the Canadian roundels may sybolize a UK special power. The power would be that, if London falls, Canada “becomes” a power. Canada is controled by the UK player and can only collect Canadian IPCs.
This possibility stems from the fact that sea lion might succeed with a sly German player leading the Kreigsmarine. Considering there will likeley be 3 turns to play with untill the US and Russia become active, a jab at London would change the game irrevicably. Therefore, I susspect, and hope that if this happens the UK continues to fight, colleting some IPCs in an attempt to liberate the home islands
Thoughts?
Or am i just crazy kreig….I definitely think that Canada and Anzac should fight on. Although maybe not so much Egypt, India, or South Africa.
I agree fire night, Canada and the anzac were independent while they other were colonies

Well, South Africa was more than just a colony, but they’re much more isolated and even less useful in a more independent state for gameplay than ANZAC or even Canada are/would be.
South Africa does not have enough economy to be its own nation in the game.

Precisely.

I believe the last valid candidate to become an independent power in the game would be Canada.
@Brain:

Agreed.
I have also come to agree with you that making Canada an absolutely independent power would draw the game out too much and is not necessary. I do, however, believe that a split income rule, as we have talked about here, would be appropriate to the new Europe and global game.
or at least a rule that made it so if england was captuered canada would continue to play
@i:

And then what? India after that? and then Egypt, South Africa,……etc.
How many lives does UK get?
Canada-Can Uk fight on?
I am betting yes
Provinces
I believe
Newfoundland and Labrador (UK-Owned)-1 IPC
Nova Scotia and PEI-1 IPC
New Brunswick-1 IPC
Quebec-2 IPCs
Ontario-3 IPCs
Yukon-0 IPCs
Nunavut and Northern Territory-0 IPCs
British Columbia-1 IPC
Saskatchewan-1 IPC
Alberta-1 IPC
Manitoba-1 IPC
10 territories
All that talk about Russia
This is very off topic but there are ten reasons I think we could have won W/o the rooskies
1. MANHATTAN PROJECT
2. 16 Million men at arms ( then add Britain, China, France, Aussies, South Africa,Dominican Republic, Brazil, Costa Rica, Cuba, El Salvedor, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, India, Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Resistance Fighters, and volunteers from around the world)
3.Oil
4.Once our economy got rolling, our Economy
5.The USAAC (US army air corps)
6. The RAF
7. Patton
8. The Marines
9. Montgomery
10. Goering

That gives us:
Major:
UK
USA
USSR
Germany
Italy
Japan
Minor:
Canada
ANZAC
France
China
10 Powers, 2 of which are not autonomous

I don’t believe Canada and ANZAC will be in the global game leaving us only 8 powers.

From what has been said about France, it will be controlled by one of the other players, as China is in Pacific; and if we include Canada in the list as a subset of UK with the split income, that gives 7 available player spots.
BD may be right that ANZAC will be treated the same way in the global game, giving us an even 6 player spots.
So you are saying that China and France will be played by an existing power?
@Brain:
So you are saying that China and France will be played by an existing power?
Almost definitely. 6 players would probable be the max # used in a game of this. Unless you have a good group that can have fun and participate actively even if only given a power that dies after the first turn.

Well I still only like a 2 player game anyway cause I am kind of a control freak when I play games. So for me playing China or France would probably be okay because then I wouldn’t care as much knowing I am not gonna last long.
