Never mind, saw the answer on the next page.

I have uploaded so called war cards as well. Very simple but they can be used to keep track of who is at war with who.

Hey Narvik,
I agree with you on the Berlin NO for Russia. It is pretty silly. After all, once Berlin falls, isn’t the game pretty much over?

As for the No German subs in the Atlantic NO for UK, you can’t just go north of sea zones 86 and 87. There are convoy zones all along the African coast where Germany could station subs and bleed more money from the UK. The UK must keep those pesky U-boats away from those waters too.

Ok. Combat move.

@strategic:

I agree. I do not use Alpha in any way, shape, or fashion, although I also sometimes do a bid and I make Italy neutral until its 1st turn, otherwise, I don’t do anything else. Thank you IL for coming up with the Italy neutral idea.

Dude, Italy being neutral on the first round is an awesome idea.  Italy officially didn’t enter the war until June 10, 1940.  If we consider the invasion of Paris occurring on June 5 by the German forces, and all the turns are effectively happening simutaneously, then Italy has the OPTION to declare war on its turn, starting the game neutral to the Allies.  Brilliant.

(Though 5 days is a bit of a stretch considering each turn in game represents 3 months…)

I agree.  I always take Persia with UK asap

Well, the German invasion Barbarossa was halted again before Moscow, with a powerful red army counterattack destroying the main German stack. Italy never really got going and its attempt to defeat Egypt failed spectacularly, and for Japan the dice just got worse and worse. Japan suffered disproportionate land unit casualties in China and south east Asia, and when the Americans got going the Japanese fleet couldn’t hold. Allies win the war.

I think key to this game is that Japan has to break through against UK and China before the USA gets going. They need to be up to 60-65 IPC minimum. Also, a G2 against Russia didn’t work in my game, the offensive peters out, and you need a massive stack of infantry to shield a stack of tanks. A factory in Romania and the capture of Leningrad are advised to make it a two pronged attack. Plus a few Italian tanks and mech inf can really make a difference there, I feel. Italy needs to defeat Egypt quickly, and I feel that even without its western Italian fleet it could be done, in my game it was attempted but failed because of atrocious dice.

The axis were not friends of the dice in my game, pretty much every key battle the dice were lopsided against the axis.

And the axis need to expand quickly, the game starts with 66 IPC for axis (base territories, without bonuses) and 175 for the allies. Build up too slow and the allies will pile up the plastic.

As soon as I have anything official, I’ll post it.
