It saves a bunch of time when grabbing islands, too. From NSW, you can only really reach Java and the Carolines. From Queensland, you can cause trouble all around.
In the current Alpha +3 scenario I think the best way for the Axis to still go Sealion is if Japan hits SFE and Hawaii hard. You need to divert at least some of the American and Soviet attention towards yourself or the Euro-Axis is doomed. Now this will make things hard for Japan, intentionally putting more pressure on themselves but with UK London not producing more units it won’t be long before we see Italian units moving towards Italy to help Japan along with a Germany collecting tons from UK and an Italy gobbling up many of the UK’s African territories. In the event of Sealion as Italy I always push all the way to South Africa since it cannot be reinforced and taking while UK is still out of commission denies it to UK if/when they are liberated.
What Inmajor said. I expect to buy a game that’s finished.
Maybe look at it this way, we were able to get the game 2 years before it was released. Many addtional playtesters are tuning the game before it’s final release.
So I am getting a whole new updated copy once they’re done playtesting? :roll:
Nope, but you can BUY Larry’s NEW AND IMPROVED AXIS AND ALLIES 1941 edition ™, for only 3 easy payments of $39.99! AND get to do the ridiculous “revised setups” B.S. all over again cause he spent all his time “fixing” the current edition!
Slacker is right, yeah its not what we all expected but its still a great game and you should be happy with Mr. Harris taking his time to help improve the game experience. yeah its a pain to check the updates but its not all that bad. i still like both the 1940 games and the way my gaming group plays, we don’t think the OOB is totally unbalanced. yeah it needed a little work but not that much. theirs my 2 cents
