1942.2_Advanced variant for more action in Pacific_based on Redesigned thread

Here is a quicker version of Anniversary using the pacific theater and making it a two-player game. This is based off of the 1942 scenario. For balance, the UK is converted to USA territories and units. Place a USA marker in each friendly UK territory and change UK units to USA units. USA and Japan earn bonus income if they own territories and islands listed below.

@private-panic Thanks very much, this seems to be what I am looking for.

@tincanofthesea when I designed the game I tried very hard to allow it to replicate any action that actually happened during the war.
The war started in June 1950, by August North Korea nearly pushed the Allies off Korea completely.
So yeah, that can happen in the game… although it isn’t very easy.
Another example is that I changed the movement value for naval units from 4 to 5. My reason was that it was impossible to transfer units from the West coast (Inchon) to the East coast (Wonsan) in one move. This actually happened during the war. In October 1950 Marines were pulled from Inchon to Wonsan.
The turns are month based. One turn round (both players have moved) equals one month.

The best solution to the problem is to download TripleA. The above link will let you do exactly that. Not only will this engine allow you to play Larry Harris maps, it also allows you to play a good selection of player-created maps. Some of them are significantly better than any of Larry’s maps, at least to me. (Including New World Order, Rising Sun, and Domination 1914 No Man’s Land.)

Anyone want to be part of the first ever online league for the axis and allies variant game called superpowers?

Games are played online. Season will be 12 weeks long plus play-offs. You will be emailed when its your turn to act. players do not have to be online at the same time. This is going to be great!

@wittmann:

Knp: I agree.

Ditto here!  I hope this really can be a fresh start this year for FMG, for sure, and I too wish I had a boatload of money I could invest.  I did make a modest little order to show my support, though, and to express tangibly that “no hard feelings” on my part.  Just remember, we can forgive a lot, but if you don’t tell us what’s going on for months at a time, we don’t know if we should even risk making orders for “in stock” items, as we might fear the company’s going out of business and can’t fulfill them.  So please, please keep us posted… And just as important, is not more so, keep in touch with Coach!  And please coordinate with him more closely in the future when you’re ready to roll out more new products… (…last I checked we were headed for a situation where we were going to have 3 different companies doing a Tiger I and none doing a Panzer IV, for instance…)

Just buy a milton bradly edition of the game and use those pieces. Table tactics is not good quality molds. Only the fortress America rips are decent.

Your would save money by getting c/c or ebay ghq.

Hi Everyone,
