D-Day in development…

@Kreuzfeld:

first question you have to ask yourself is if you are going to play “fall blau” (german attack accross the donbass to stalingrad), The city itself (german offensive, where they have to take everything to win), or “Operation Uranus” (soviet encirceling counterattack)

The question is moot. You make both versions. This ain’t no Highlander. There can be more than one.😝

@ghr2:

You should definitely get some sort of protective layer for that map.

I’m going to at some point. Until, I get a permanent place to play, it is rolled up in a cylinder tube. I’m going to have a man cave built, and then I will work on things like that. I’m going to have to either buy or have someone build me a table to fit the map. This is the plan, anyway. :-)

My copies are of the 2nd version, otherwise I wouldn’t have recommended it.

The pieces are in the primary colours: red, blue, green & yellow.

Also the board is simpler, as you get a “console” for each player to store units, reserves etc:

Also browsing around my collection I noticed these planes from Airways:

Just wondered if people would prefer aircraft mounted on stands like this; you could have them on a peg that slotted into the stand or into a corresponding slot on a carrier.
More expensive to produce, but gives a more imposing impression of air power.

@CaptRick
I admire your work in building this game (the boardgame) and follow the progress of your design with great interest. I know how hard it can be at some moments because I went about a same course myself. But what I personally really can’t understand are the colors that were used. And by that I mean Are the colors of the units and the colors used on the gameboard. Perhaps it is a matter of taste. But they are way to bright, almost like candy. Why did you choose these color preferences above a more softer more serious looking color.

I don’t want to offend you in any way. Absolutly not! But I’m wondering.

I’m from Holland. Maybe that explaines a lot.

The map to supremacy is horrible and they have nothing like the unit varation or number of terriotries axis and allies has. plus their is no reason the countries are fighting each other

Austria would be slaughtered in a Great War FFA.
