Preview 3: Map, Components, and Units

A couple things:

Are those the same basic chips as 1942 2e?

Are those chips bigger than the Revised/Europe/Pacific chips?

It seems like we are getting baby dice (which would be hilarious since someone said the reason this game is NOT a ripoff relative to 1942 2e is that we get more dice).

Dice size is not a huge deal, but when I walk into a store or go online and see this for 20-30% more than 1942 2e, I am not even CLOSE to convinced that I am getting 20-30% more for my money.

looks to be same size cool chips from 42 2ndE….which means there slightly smaller and will fit better on the board…exciting

Sadly, in your scale shot (of all units) you left out an ottoman Sub.

For SHAME!

Looking forward to it, look at those bayonets!

Remind me why the game cames with so much dice, very un-WOTC like.

You are supposed to put dice on the battle board representing each unit in the battle.  Sometimes you will need a lot of dice…

Cool, Thanks. :wink:

More dice on the battle board so you can leave the units on the playing surface.

Because we are all adults we do this anyway. No one needs a battle board after their 10th game.

@Flashman:

No, but what I can do is use a prod chart from another game.

@BJCard:

Flashman, can’t you just look at the map, know what territories were taken/lost, and how much money you have?  Who actually argues about the production chart?

I actually quite like the new one. It keeps you from having a 3ft x 3ft piece of cardboard, or (worse) not enough numbers.

What I don’t get is why they put tick marks at ‘half’ units…might be a little confusing.

I am currently redoing the map for a 50x60 and to include Mexico ( for Flashman). The rest of the map will be OOB, but you know once i make the thing it is bound to have versions that are different. :roll:  In this manner i am just like Flashman, my brother.

Good one, bro.
