Hi Markus
Enjoy your game with crockett :)
my favorite “sneaky placement hiding unit strength” was the UK transports in sz112 a couple turns ago. I almost overlooked it and assumed there as only one. 8-) :-P
I think the problem may have due to the fact that Moulinex didn’t have the Big Pieces turned on in ABattlemap. So, he wouldn’t know if the numbers were “on the line”. :-P
I wonder which has been more difficult:
deciphering the unit strengths/totals in Ukr/rostov
or
trying to fit them all in there :|
what I need now is paratroopers or ss infantry so I have another combat unit that won’t fit. As big as this map is its still not big enough. Have any of you guys played this FtF yet? You can’t really sit and play, you need to stand and lean over the table most of the time. Hamstrings get a hell of a workout!
Imagine being EM and trying to fit eight loaded carriers in Malaya sz! :lol: You would feel compelled to just leave them there just to avoid spilling them all when trying to move them.
Yeah, we’ve played the FTF game once. Fortunately, I have the original AAP game. We used the fleet markers in it, that you can use to represent large fleets. So, you can have the marker on the board, in the appropriate sea zone, and have the actual units off-map. Very handy.
Russia’s feeling the heat here… :|
BTW, Germany loses 2 IPC to the convoy disruption again, so it should have 72.
