France moves one infantry to Sudan.
Since Alpha+3 is coming out- let’s play that instead. Might as well wait and see the changes. Now that Alpha+3 will be here I have a very deflated interest in playing this Alpha+2 game. I forfeit this game in favor of wanting to play Alpha +3- so its an easy win for you- though it may not have any meaning being an “old” version now… :wink:
Where is alpha 3 coming, what changes should we expect, when is it expected to be released? Did they finally fix America?

Nice job Jen, he has read your comments- mentioned it weeks ago and now it seems he has listened with others voicing the same opinion- should be refined now :-)
Yes, I think just a few, little tweaks would be plenty.
Take the 10 IPC NO away from America. Replace it with one in S. Italy (or Sardinia, but Italy makes more sense from a game play perspective) and Gibraltar + Morocco + Algeria for 5 each. America can EASILY decide to ignore them and lose them, but in doing so, will be weakened against Japan, which I think is needed.
I’d like to see the R&D system just plain scrapped. The map’s too huge. Otherwise, there needs to be 6 technologies: Long Range, Heavy Bombers, Improved Infantry, Improved Shipyards, Improved Airbases, War Bonds.
LRA: +2 Fighters/Tacticals, +3 Strategics
HBs: +4 Strategics, +1 Tacticals (Strategic Bombing Raids only)
I Inf: MI can blitz as per armor rules, MI cost 3
I Sh: Reduced Fleet Costs, Shipyards increase movement by 2
I Air: Reduced Air Costs (9 Fighter, 10 Tactical, 11 Strategic), Airbases increase movement by 2 (makes islands easier to attack from.)
Bonds: Roll 2 Dice, +2. Add income. (The map’s too huge for 3 IPC to be much use, 7 IPC is more useful.)
Dunno…what do you think will be on the list? You know we have to play THE DAY it comes out, right?
GAME STILL ON…WE’LL CONTINUE BECAUSE OF THIS POST…
_**"Krieghund has reminded me that the “100% Pacific” issue has not been fully resolved yet. To post Alpha +3 before it is would be a waste of time. I know good advice when I hear it and you can either thank Krieghund or throw cabbage at him. I think in the long run you’ll do better to thank him.
More work is still needed and the Alpha +3 is officially postponed till further notice.
Your continued feed back on this matter and other issues is, as always, greatly appreciated.
The problem is that this effort can’t go on forever. A request of those of you who are gracious enough to contribute your ideas and share your game experiences here. When I tell you that I can’t use or don’t agree with you on a given proposal or idea… let it go. Move on. If I say “No thanks” there’s usually a good reason for it. To keep repeating the same thing(s) only jams up and slows down this effort. I hope you understand. Thanks

Sounds like Larry really wants to wrap this up. He stated Alpha+3 WILL be the final draft so…reading his recent posts, it seems like he’s already decided how to finish the last touches. With that, Alpha+3 should be out any day I assume so its best we stop here for now.
Besides I have a few weekend trips coming up so I’ll be taking some time off starting this weekend- we’ll play again for sure- I just don’t wanna waste my time when I know Larry’s ready to spit out the FINAL Alpha+3 game out. Finally, we’ll be playing with a finished product- only took 2 years-geesh. :-D Happy 4th!!!
Hope he releases Alpha 3 on the 4th, would be poetic with how insanely powerful he made America this time out. =p
Anyway, I just recovered a Pacific Pac-Strat when E. USA was taken by the Germans AND got back in time to save Russia still.
