I’m also thinking that an easy way to leave the British Bonus Infantry rule alone while keeping the game balanced would be to connect Iran to India, and allow for amphib assaults of Egypt via the Red Sea. That way Japan actually has the option of entering the theatre without having to go all the way around the freaking world. :-P
Yes, connecting the Red Sea interboard space to Egypt and India to Iran makes sense.
Try going to this site www.aaeuropemc.com. You can join there and play unregistered or registered games games with other members, which I am one. Although I have yet to play a registered game. Did play A&AE via PBEM with a guy from here using aaeuropemc’s dicey server, but work crap and layoffs prevented me from finnishing.
This goes for BigBlocky too. If you’re interested in A&AP online games, that is. :D
I would love to see a PC version of (at least) Europe. It would make practice and such a lot more convenient, and reach out to a new audience (the PC gamer). I, for one, would love it even more on the grounds that I am a (n00b) AA guru, as WELL as a PC gamer (as I’m sure many of you are)
i dont think the axis has that much of an advantage in Europe. germany can be overwhelmed quickly if usa and britain get into the game early. as for pacific, i think japan starts out a little to beast as far as military goes. the aussie and american navies have to quickly take out japans navy to start taking the islands. india also provides an important chokepoint as well for japan that can be annoying for the allied player.
