Missing boards for the 2004 version - National Production Chart and the Reference Chart for the Soviet Union

If you play NA´s i would encourage you to just do away with super-fortress (USA NA)  Invulnerable SBR bomber is so incrediable unbalanced not even funny.

OK
Thanks for info… I was really wondering why people was spamming us if we had any revised edition left for sale.
We have sold 4 times the amount of The enlarged gameboard for use with revised edition 2004 so far in 2010 than in 2009.

To be honest, I always determine my build units after determining all my attacks.  Actually screwed me up in a F2F game because I couldnt move the pieces into the territory being attacked without giving up my right to buy units.

But in PBF it’s easier.  No one is looking over your shoulder, so you can write out all your attacks, move the pieces on the board, look at the situation, determine what your NCMs are going to be (most likely - or even permanently if none of your attacks need dice) then see what the board looks like and figure out what you will build from that.

I was poking around over at Avalon Hill boards and noticed that they are moving them to Gleemax. I thought I’d spread the word for anybody who only checks in over there occasionally and wanted to move their account.

I also figure this is a good chance to spread the word about how cool it is here. There seems to be disappointment about not having custom avatars or user polls at Gleemax.

First Edition (though with 2nd Non-Weapon Prof added).

I have a LOT of dice, but in my primary set I have 25d4 for one of my character’s Cone of Cold :-D

I like those 13d4 Magic Missiles too :-)

The sound a Magic Missile makes… THWAP!

Asbestos’ Magic Missiles…
Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-THWAP!
Average Damage:  45 hit points… no save, automatically hit :-D

I’m teaching my cousin how to play I was the Axis b/c he was born in England and moved to Canada so he was die hard about having the UK any way I gave him a bid last time b/c he got wasted the time before I gave him 15 IPC’s to use for any allied country. I wasn’t worried b/c I thought he would buy a US Pacific Navy. Instead he bought 5 INF and put them in Moscow. Needless to say that slowed down the Axis advance early on.

I like your idea about mixing it up. Keeps them on there toes. he he

Fighters are great for Germany.  I think every other round they should be building at least 1 fighter to replenish losses.  However, I do not ascribe to the Germany’s on the defense theater of thought.

Once you get it in your head you are defensive with your power you are going to loose the battle.  No nation can fight a defensive war against an aggressor and win.  This is why the South invaded the North in the Civil War (they did so too late, IMHO.)  Likewise, the option of 100% infantry is a turtling maneuver that slows you down WAY too much, in AAR. (in classic it’s a different story, you don’t have 3 eastern fronts to defend, only 1.)

With Germany you have GOT to keep a ratio of 3:1 infantry to armor and at least 5 fighters to defend France.  More would be extremely better!!!

Go on the offensive IMMEDIATELY.  Keep hammering away.  Leave Fin/Nor and Karelia empty if you have too, but put as many troops on the Muscovite border as humanly possible as fast as humanly possible.  This will force Russia to consider pulling eastern troops away from Japan, meaning Japan doesn’t have to kill htem, just gobble up the land.

Remember, it’s going to take 3 rounds for America to get that BB to England.  That’s 3 rounds you have to destroy any British forces you can find, so that when that BB does make it, it’s not as protected.  (A few subs will help here.)

Basically,

Buy 1 Carrier R1
Buy 1 Fighter R2
Buy 1 Sub R3
Buy 1 Fighter R4
Buy 1 Sub R5

etc.

5 Subs, 1 DD, 1 Trn, 1 CV, 2 Fig is a pretty strong offensive force.  Especially if you can manage to get the BB/Trn from the Med to join it.

But in order to do that, you have GOT to be grabbing land.

never mind!
