Global Map, High ress and with starting pieces on!

Thanks Tirano. The reason that I didn’t take Southern France on the first turn is because I want to disguise my trip to the Med. I want the UK to have to bite on Sealion and they won’t know that the Italians aren’t taking S. France until after they have taken their first turn. Other than slipping a couple of units into Northern Italy (which I try to do inconspicuously)I have given no indication at all that I’m going to the Med. I don’t need to put units on the complex in S. France right away anyway so it wasn’t necessary to have it on the first turn.

I find Ozteas playable w/o a bid. '39 hasn’t been playtested as much. Japan usually steamrolls china so you may want to give a few guys to China. It doesn’t rally take any longer as the first few turns go pretty fast. You should read the game notes if you haven’t played it.

Fantastic!  Thanks Bob!

after leningrad falls, you need to transports, so that whilst you are holding in ukraine, you are REINFORCING the eastern front from Leningrad everyturn.

And on a good day, if the allies aren’t paying attention, sometimes from within the baltic, you get to sack England, and they don’t even see it coming.

@Young:

I printed mine as a poster, and then I laminated it with mat-lam (low glare). I than stapeled vinyl material to a sheet of plywood and than used a spray adhesive to stick the laminated poster onto the vinyl (to prevent lifting air pockets).

Thanks!  I’ll give this a go…. although having just investigated the price of having a large copy printed off, I may have to save for a while.

Well about 10-20 turns
