Where can I find a setup picture???

Yeah and you also don’t get the soviet far east units later.

Karl is right though, the Americans have a huge boost in comparison to what they are in the global game; and better yet, it’s 100% focused on Europe.

Kill Itlay First, start with  Taranto or Tobruk.  Subs and Convoy raid the crap out of the axis when and as you can.  Hold on for dear life with Russia.  If moscow looks like you can’t hold it,  pull back for a round; and keep the fight alive.  Merge with middle east forces if you have to.

@Rednalyn:

It would be nice if one could by the 2nd ed rulebook

Yes it would, printing out the set ups can get messy and lost easily, it would be nice to have a proper book…also a shame about missing out on all the awesome pieces.

See this thread…

My bad. Italy goes after UK, so no can do defending G2 movements.

These sound like really neat house rules. If the allies seem to win too many games over here we will probably use them. Potentially turning all of north africa over to the germans.

Tons of fun stuff with the french. Imagine the germans being able to move french soldiers around africa but the french turn back allied first time normany is landed in!

I play a bit of War At Sea as well. Reading the back of the french cards is entertaining. Ships escaping port and german capture with unfinished guns. Ships firing at americans landing in africa.

Heck, am i remembering right that the british landed in madagascar to liberate it from the french? Wasnt the HMS Barham or the Ramilles or some other old battleship there?

@MarkVIIIMarc:

St Louis Missouri has an excellent mail order place called miniature market.com. When i pre ordered mine they offered to ship it even though i live only twenty minutes away.

Minimarket does tons of ebay and website business with war at sea and other minis.

I live in San Jose. How long would it take from the time they ship it to the time it gets here? I ordered it yesterday, so it should ship tomorrow, on Monday

Exactly- if you look at the hi-res pic of the board- it looks like the desert runs along the border between West and Central.  While the border itself it bright blue (not covered by the white of the desert as it is along the SW border of Algeria) the desert looks like it covers the entire border on the FWA side- making a crossing impossible.  But it Does need to be clarified.

what are those russian units in the med?

oh wait, is that italy?

why are they so brown-red?  surely they could have made them more distinct, or made russia less brown.
