@mike64 It seems you have the pbf figured out now. I like using it…easier to post the file and it’s easier for my old eyes to read the posted summary instead of going to game history.

Please do Italy+Germany! I will do Anzac prior to Russia
I intend to take Brasil with Anzac, that’s the only thing that “could” influence Germany
-
you need to retreat from a space you attacked from, thus the anzacs are in egypt not fea.

That I didn’t know. Correct it then please!
About the game, yes I feel it’s a new game too and it’s fun (especially managing UK is head aching), I’m just a bit worried about Russia and/or Italy+Germany pushing hard in the Middle east, taking care of Russia and/or India.
Also, what happens if India falls? Is India still a capitol?
-
India is no longer a capital. Perhaps we’ll have a future update that takes away capital looting altogether, but it seems that London is very safe.
Aren’t those better worries then, what the hell am I going to do when the UK loses its capital on R3 again, this game?

Worrying on rules to improve this idea, stop bragging!

OT: Notes about the game rules and how the game is revolving so far:
I said it looks like spring42 with restriction 'cause usually in that game Germany holds while Japan pushes west!
The game looks interesting, especially for Italy and UK preserving the entire fleet during round1. This turns the game into a defensive game (or at least that’s what it looked in our game so far).
I think the game will still need tweaks here and there, but I like the idea behind it.
This is what I noticed:
*even if UK starts with a very big fleet, it’s very hard to attack a German territory due to counterattacks (this is true especially thanks to your sub purchases), and you can’t even leave India empty or the Italians+Germans will have tons of fun in the Middle East. It might be worst, 'cause in this game opening I was very lucky with UK defense in sz106 and I have 1free transport, 1free dd, 4 more free troops and 3 less German subs for free.
Yet this is still a game.
What’s your opinion so far of these tweaks? -
some of the things that I concern you, I actually believe are strengths.
uk can’t easily execute a premature normandy in 1940 after being push out of france - good!
the uk has to prevent the germans and italians from taking the middle east, sounds like the north africa campaign, note that I did not have to go into syria & trans jordan, I could have reinforced tobruk.
china is going to get crushed, maybe china needs a bit of strengthening, but then, we might upset the balance. again japan should be crushing china in 1940.
the uk should not be in a position to start attacking in 1940, they should be trying to survive.
