Map sample

Land based bombers where a big threat to fleets in WW2, prince of wales was sunk by land based air for example.

I like the bigger map on europe side what i could see.

All pac islands should allow bombers to land as they where captured with the express purpose of just that serve as landing strips for long ranged bombers to attack the next island.

Naval air should be a lot less powerfull against land based targets so that you would want proper bombers to attack a beachhead that would give the islands a strategic role.

Ya we do play with bomber can land on islands. I’m gonna run by group again about bombers hitting naval but we do have tacs and dive bombers being able to pick target on first round of combat too.

@Sgt-Mclusky One easy change to the OOTB rules, Japan can’t declare on the Soviets. Soviets can declare on Japan anytime after war with Germany begins

Why doesn’t Russia suffer something for declaring war on japan ?

This is starting to cross over into house rules.

@GEN-MANSTEIN In terms of historical context, when the Soviets finally did declare war on Japan, they didn’t suffer then. One month of fighting, mostly mop up work in Manchuria against a depleted Kwangtung Army, all post atomic.

If the Soviets want to attack earlier in the game, that’s their choice. The suffering is all in the dice rolls

What date was the Russian attack
On japan. Before treaty or after ?

@GEN-MANSTEIN This all stuff you can Google yourself, I’m not here to copy and paste

Whatever dude. Already know. Seeing if u knew. Was before treaty that’s why there was a treaty and not till Aug of 45. Play the fantasy game.
Good luck and enjoy.

The pictures can look good, you need to reduce opacity and or add outer glow effect

Also, i bought flags waving for Japan and Russia, but have yet to finish and release 1942.2 upgrade

Those waving flags motorized or wind blowing on your map ?

These are Mechanized Flags, but unfortunately different than the others.

Depends on what you looking for. If you just made most of Asia and Russian Siberian a move of 1 for motorized units would it help Moscow and Calcutta live ? Would it just force Japan fo go all out instead for India ?
Then Russia should attack Japan but can they still hold Moscow if only half inf went west ?
You may need to add more stuff but I’m assuming u are looking for changes without changing setups.

I have rule where and should be in all games. Mongolia is pro Russia. Russia can move a piece into Mongolia and receive any money and pieces on activation. If Russia attacks Japan first they don’t get money and pieces. Plus this allows Russia to send most Russian inf to Moscow. Can explain in another thread

@GEN-MANSTEIN I am interested. Where is that thread located?

What you mean ? My game ?
