HBG Japan Supplement Set

Glad to help.

-Midnight_Reaper

What I would like is a package of poker chips (compatible with existing A&A versions) to use with 1914. I find that there simply isn’t room on the board for all the different stacks for each army, especially on the crowded western front.

So I just give each nation a single stack of chips with the required infantry unit on top.

The system I use is:

grey/white = infantry
red = artillery
green - tanks
blue = fighters

Additional colours might be reserved for new units vis:

black = bombers
yellow = cavalry

A nice touch would be for each colour to be embossed with the appropriate unit type.

Equivalent pieces for ships aren’t as important but maybe double sided chips for naval units?

Had to bump this. I’m looking forward to this set.

The running infantry looks really neato!  I always like action poses.

Well then, it looks like I will be placing a new order next week as well.

i’m surprised we got neutral set with anything other than infantry. And very surprised it was released before USSR, UK, and Japan. I kind of get Italy, France and Anzac but before 3 of the 5 Major Powers? As far as USSR, UK and Japan goes I’m surprised we got two German sets and two American sets first and almost got a third american set.

Did this game die off?

@tmz70:

Dude, If Japan cannot advance against Russia to make them fight a two front war. The axis will most assuredly fail. The game is already slanted against them. If you play with that variant, will you have another that will even it out in some way. like Germany cannot be attacked by Russia unless they attack first? I dunno, does’t seem like it would be feasible.

Yes there is one variant we played in that regard… the allies cannot enter the baltic unless they control W. Europe therefore defeating there ability to strike E. Europe… I Dunno why it seems like it’s neat but not feasible… in fact in the game I played the axis won… the Russians sunk the Baltic fleet, and missed in destroying Finland-Norway completely(1 Inf. was the only german casualty :-?) by luck and put up a huge defense in Keraila SSR… mabye that’s the reason the axis won, but, I think otherwise… Remember the variant saves Japan 3 Inf. and a Fighter in Manchuria to use on a first turn attack on China, and opens the option :lol: for attacks on India or Ssainking …on T1 if the Hawaii fleet disapears with overwhelming odds from Japan then the Japanese can SOLELY focus on the US because the Russians are not hitting manchuria… Yeah the germans don’t get Japanese support for 1-3 turns and the americans and british most likely are hitting africa and (highly unlikely but possible) W. Europe mercilessly, but hey, if japan is up to 34-38 IPC’s and actually terrizing (or landing) on american shores distracting there attention; Big whoop!!! as long as your wearing down on the Russian Inf. … besides Moscow if just attacked with just one 1 Inf. (no SBR or fighter strafing on the capital allowed) will trigger a japanese assault… :( the russians will be overrun if they don’t defend Novorbisk, Kazakh SSR, Yakut SSR, Soviet Far East + defending against the germans…who could through Persia then Kazakh SSR blitz a single german Tank and hit Moscow, or if germany holds Keraila and survives a counter-attack… the Japanese can even support there German counterparts by hitting the British-American shipping through aircraft attacks by flying (from french indo-china) to Anglo-Egypt for fighters or to S. Europe for the bomber, or better yet Subs through the panama on waiting transports in US SZ when thier there… Germany just needs to buy lots of inf. T1, and tanks T2… viola!!! maybe how I usually strategize both sides is different from yours… dunno to me I can’t see how the axis can lose!!!
