Accurate IPC Counts for 2nd Edition?

@EmanuelRS Yes mate this is VECTOR ARTWORK. Its not some Jpeg. it can be printed 50 miles wide and have no issues with pixelation

The cost structure and transport rules from 42.2 are the same as the global game, so if you ever want to transition to the global, 42.2 would be a closer match, though there are many more diplomatic rules, the carrier unit is very different in global (16 cost attack 0 defend 2 2 hits)    We found it for $42.

@taamvan:

What do you do when there are 32 infantry on Karelia and 35 on Moscow? Standing room only?

One serious problem with this game is that without any unit upkeep or space limits, there is also no limit to how big/messy turtle time can get

I play “mostly chit free”… I never said 100% chit free. Obviously when you have to, you have to (looking at you Moscow)… of course this is 1942, not 1940, so the stacks usually don’t get too crazy… however I have a large pool for each country (I have 70 infantry and 30 tanks for each country in my bins for example, which is a lot for 1942)… so it takes awhile to force the use of chits, and its minimal usage at best in my games.

I have, however played games where not a single chit went on board, and those always make me happy.

Exactly! It was one those games where after round one that you knew you had a big uphill battle ahead of you lol.

Another nice thing about the 2nd edition is that it has better sculpts: more nation-specific designs, plus anti-aircraft guns represented by specific sculpts.

My main problems with the 41 pieces are the transports/allied subs. Maybe it’s just my copy, but they look sort of warped (transports) or they don’t sit evenly on a flat surface (subs).

well yea perhaps

@AbuMaju:
