Size is nice, A0 for this map.

Btw, is the new MAP with all the victory cities already done and to be posted??  Thanks!!

yes.

The MAP without Italy on this site is still without the victory cities of Toronto and Warsaw etc… The Italy map is correct. But I guess… that one was complete already, because they are also on the map you emailed me…  :wink:  I will print the map with Italy, but I think you should post the complete basic map also.

email me and youll get the file where all that is fixed. Djenson can only reload a new file once a month so it will take another week or so.

Mail has just been send out  :-) Thanks!

oh yeah the A0 map in my photo is missing 3 Victory Cities

I’ve since reprinted the appropriate A4 sections

Imperious, have you printed the map yet? one piece, rollable, stain and wrinkle proof material?  :wink:

Oh no.
One more thing.

Western Canada (both standard and italy map) has a different colour to other UK territories.

Need to change Western Canada to the same colour as the rest of UK territories.

That was fixed a while ago.

The latest files I got off you are

2006-12-22 standard map
2006-12-06 italy map

both has Western Canada as a light cream colour, other UK territories being darker/browner

2006-12-22 standard map has shadows other visual improvements

Yes the latter versions are not ones i can email anymore as the file size went up to nearly 12 MB.

i have to fiqure out how people can access these files.

Rapidshare?

as well as

megaupload.com
yourfilehost.com
speedyshare.com

I don’t know why one is best

need to compare
*period of inactivity before deletion
*amount of wait

I think rapidshare has variable wait
megaupload has fixed 45 sec wait
speedyshare has no wait, I think
but speedyshare’s URL is a bunch of numbers

I dont know anything about these sites…

we need one that will allow for up to 15 MB file transfer and be free. which of these are capable of this?

The list are all free. No sign-up required.

Yourfilehost is 25MB.

It even lets you put

*Your Nickname or Sitename
*Your website (optional)

ok going with that.

after reading your comments at harrisgamedesign about China falling too quickly
I start to think we need to add China as a new player as much as we need Italy
I am also feeling uncomfortable with the relatively rushed Italy deal

New thoughts on Italy deal:

I don’t think we need to preserve Germany at 40 IPC.
Germany is only doing less % of what they usually have to do.

I just feel weird with a 20 IPC territory Germany.
Wouldn’t say its realistic neither would we.
Also, SBR on Germany is a different story now too.

So I am thinking
*remove +10 IPC to territory Germany
*remove the free 12 IPC for US lend-lease only

Instead add a smaller Germany income via
*make new territory north of Switzerland (maintain Germany’s border access)

China deal:

This is difficult. Might have to break the “no new setup unit” situation.
Just thinking out loud here.

2 IPC Sinkiang
2 IPC “China”
1 IPC “Inner Mongolia”
1 IPC “Outer Tibert” new VC

(only “China” is adjacent to Japanese territories, and “China” remains adjacent to “Singkiang”)

Total 6 IPC. 3 VCs.

1st INF 1 IPC
Other INF 2 IPC

China can now raise troops quicker. But Japan can still flank.

The China situation would largely depend on how many changes would ALSO be required to address Japans victory conditions. We would have to model the war more effectively by not tying together the axis victory with a defeated Soviet Union.

Japan would have to win by using the national victory conditions as we have under optional rules. That would help solve the problem.

Also if we went ahead and made six or four total Chinese territories…that would have to take place only on the phase 3 map.

A number of Chinese rules would have reflect some internal ability to rebuild units so that Japan does not take them out in a few turns.

I think they should also be seperate, but if we do this i strongly feel that we must also insist on national victory conditions because the increase in territories would totally change the outcome of those typical games where japan knocks out the Soviets winning the game for the Axis.

I would say to give them 2 IPC infantry and not allow any other builds unless in the form of ‘flying tigers’ or some aid from burma road NA.
They should now be allowed to make attacks and i suspect japanese would have some limits on what they can do… perhaps it can be limits on total japanese infantry… or limits on attacks…of some terrain benifit?

ideas?

To get rid of the 20IPC Germany, sounds good. That really isn’t historical compared to the US for example, and not doing the “historical” name adding to the game any good… But I would say, create a new territory east of Switzerland, instead of north. We could make Austria the new territory. Value?
I say east, because it is easier to defend against allied invasions.

China… Well, that indeed will ask for setup adjustments.  And we should create lend lease air transports to Chinese territory. This could halt Japanese race for Moscow… However we already made efforts on that with the VC’s and individual goals…

How do you see it? Inner Mongolia and Outer Tibet on top of each other, placed between China (west of it) and Sinkiang (east of it)

Id do it (china) like they have in Xenos world at war.

Also, you have the issue about the Soviets… currently no allied units are allowed in the SU.

further Italy is the new 6th player and that income is taking away from the original german income.

So… how does one solve the problem of no allies in russia and less income for germany?

Lend lease would help fix the first problem while the second is not addressed.

Ok if you make the total of net income from germany and italy equal to OOB germany income… Germany remains too weak

If you make the allies pay for the lend lease with their own money you make them weak as well…

I maintain the best solution was to add FREE money as lend lease to SU as we have done AND compensate germany with some additional income to ofset this.

The solution may be as one of you said to ‘add’ more german territories… I like this idea alot because it will allow the ‘national redoubt’ option on that NA. Id like to see germany in 2 territories and possibly adding poland to OBSORB the 20 spot on germany…

what you guys think?
