Italy is kicking but in my game, so now I think I’ve discovered the new European versions of “Pacific’s issue of Not Enough Japanese Tech Bombers”. There are not enough Italian Roundels to play if Italy is wining a game. I guess the Italians were set up and designed to lose and nobody considered they would do good.
I think this is worse than the Japanese Tech issue, because that was basically just the set up with out using chips. There are no substitutes for the Roundels. I’m using dice right now and it sucks. I hope we can get enough support together like with the Japanese Techs that we can get more Italian roundels made.
How many Italian roundels are there?
10 or 12
I think 10
Hmm, South France, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Alexandria, Egypt, Sudan, Jordan, Syria, Gibraltar, Greece, Bulgaria

And France…… Germany had some bad roles and France rolled nothing but ones and twos, left it wide open for Italy. Also add one more on the IPC chart and two more if they have the two NO, now we’re up to 16 needed and we only got twelve. UK is getting kicked out of Africa so Italy is way to short.

Don’t use them for NO tracking. Just memorize the NO’s.
If needed, use French roundels
I ran into this too and had to use my AA50 roundels
There are 15 Roundels… which means they are 2-3 short for taking all of Africa, I’d say just scan them and paste it to some posterboard, viola…
I think the easiest solution is to just use French roundels when you run out of Italian ones. It’s not like the French are going to need any of them (ever :wink:) and they look pretty similar.

You stole my idea :-D
I never figured out why its so hard to make 2 sided roundels one side allies other side axis, then way this problem never can happen.
so simple but so difficult…

Because then sorting them would be a nightmare.

Hows that?
make them consistent. Every UK flips to Italy, Every Russian flips to Germany, Every USA flips to Italy, France… who cares about them? I guess france can flip to Dutch or be a factory damage marker
major factory flips to minor
Air base flips to naval
simple.
If you know this its easy to sort out.

What if the roundels accidentaly flip over? I’d prefer them to include twice as many instead. It probably costs $3 more, so they’ll double the price of the game

yea right.

Are you agreeing with me or disagreeing?
ah so this is what you mean by double sided roundels… call me slow but I was never quite sure what that meant. That sounds like a top idea to me.
disagreeing?
I used the red (5 unit) markers for Italy and even ran out of those…
get a piece of paper, sissors, a green marker and a red marker, glue, and a small piece of cardboard……problem solved
