Yup! Scale was perfect for the map…the infantry are too large to fit comfortably in Belorussia or West Russia, but they fit great in France, Italy, Africa, and China! Quality is 3.5/5 stars. Some of the infantry didn’t detach cleanly from the sprue, and the modeling is slightly chunky, but overall the pieces are durable, handsome, and clearly distinguishable.

Has any one ever altered their map? I have a good link to change your map to make it more ‘‘stratigically interesting’’

I know the guy who runs the site personally(he lives in my town) so if you have any questions post them and i will ask him.

Another website which has some interesting map changes (and some other ideas as well) is:
http://www.wargamer.com/axisandallies/original/houserules/gamester/aaa.htmlOf course, it does require taking a magic marker to your board, but I think it could be worth it.

Yeah thats his map also. He’s got a really good site:

A great way to do it is to make your own map. Throw different size coins on a large white cardboard sheet. Quarters are capitals, pennies are small territories, and so forth. Randomply flipping the coins should also produce areas of higher and lower coin concentration; ie., land and sea zones. Take a marker and make different colors to differ land and sea.
To start the game have players choose territories and capitals. Suggested to me by a friend, this keeps the strategy fresh and makes for a lot of fun. Territories can be creatively named by each conqueror.

I’m assuming the “Cardboard Sheet” is the Board drawn out….
