1939 Map - Jeremy's Variant with Set-up Charts

Couldn’t find and accordion folders that were big enough. What I came up with are poster boxes. Picked one up at the UPS store. I can fit all the charts inside, it keeps them I good condition, and it stores well.

@Moffett:

Any idea when in 2019 one can one expect the new version of the map from HBG with the air/naval bases printed on the map?

Maybe! Hopefully?  :roll: I know HBG posted their video talking about printing starting setup bases on the map, but as you can see they are definitively not shipping them yet.

ok thx alot

I do understand that there is a new map with a 36,39,and 42 scenario setup being worked on and play testing. but is there a different set up for the current 1939 map, like 1940,41, or 42? just wondering.

Have you played and got Japans income over $100?  In our games and most games I’ve heard about the Allies win or are in a position to win around turn 12-13.

On average, America can’t declare war until the end of it’s round 4, and can do nothing, until round 5.

USA - R1  = 13 (average roll) + 5 for fall of france = 18
USA - R2 = 13 (average roll) + 30 for Japanese attack on DEI/UK  = 61
USA - R3 = 13 (average roll) = 74
USA - R4 = 13 (average roll) = Over 80, Declares war on Japan
USA - R5 = Usa can actually attack Japan.

So, Japan has from J1 to J5 to get to 100 IPCs.

Starts at 41 IPCs  +

+5 for DEI
+5 for Singapore
+5 for Calcutta OR Sydney  (you will probably lose 1 by J5)
+3 Siam
+2 Singapore
+3 Saigon
+1 French Indo China
+2 Hong-Kong
+8 (on average) From Chinese Territories, could be more if China is defeated
+16 from Dutch east indies territories
+1 from Rabul
+1 from New Guinea
+1 from Brunei
+3 from either Calcutta or Sydney
+1 from Bangeledesh or Queensland
+2 from Phillipines (Might as well attack this on J5)

=100 IPC’s

That’s without an excursion into Russia, which is common, usually results in +5 or +6.

Japan gets to 90-100+ every game without having to put in too much effort, and before the USA can attack it.

I would love for you to post a turn by turn break down of a game you play. You seem to have very different experience than other people. I am of course not saying you are doing anything wrong. I’m just thinking a turn by turn break down might either A) point out things other people aren’t trying and bring your issues to light for everyone else or B) find mistakes you are making so they can be corrected to make for a better playing experience for yourself and everyone else.

This looks like the lead up to an allied win. The axis is being bottled up and the US isn’t even in the game yet. If the allies maintain the pressure and delays, it will go their way. Russia should be getting help now.

Thanks guys for answering all the questions for Wild Bill. From what I read you guys are correct on all fronts! I’ve not been able to get on the forum as much as I use too but hopefully that will change. I am glad you guys love the game!

@coachofmany:

I do need to produce some UK Infantry markers, i will put that on our list.
island Warfare is delayed but we are looking on the best way to produce these sets with our factory.
We are actually changing the way you can purchase pieces on the site, no more ones or two, there will be a 5 min. on pieces and markers. We have to do this to keep us going.

Coach,

I forgot to mention the website states that you are out of stock of those nice plastic German roundels.
