AARHE: Map files

ok great!

I should have this done ( the one with the IPC icons by tomorrow)

I am working on a waterloo game and it takes up my time.

No the map with the icons fixed so it has the new layout. i guess thats would be 1939, but perhaps i need to fix the phase 1-2 maps as well? Can you do this? This is really getting on me as i have alot of work to finish.

Waterloo
Leipzig
Sturm Europa ( see BGG)
War for Independence

Ok thanks. post when ready.

Thats interesting stuff, but i cant rip the images because these are scanned pages so i get the whole page rather than the one tank. They have military fonts for download already. they are free.

VICTORY CITY CHART doesn’t have marker spots on it for:

- Hongkong
  - Astrakhan

Is this intentional?

these are in the rules. Ill check and update the player aid.

I printed out and was constructing a new map and I notice the VC’s with 0 value in them (e.g., Dakar, Tobruk, Honolulu).

Is their purpose just to represent 1 free ID?

You can’t build infantry there, and you can’t use them for victory conditions so I thought I’d ask.

Ah yes, the repairing of BB, CA, and CVs at the 0 point VC – good call thanks.  I keep forgetting about that requirement.  Lots of new if/then clauses to remember.

Thanks on the SS clarification.  We’re a little slow down here where the information superhighway meets the gravel road.  So, the interpretation that was being promoted was 1 more SS than any ASW capability (e.g., 1 sub vs. a fleet with no Cruiser or Destroyer gets the +1 bonus).  This seemed a bit over powered.  So, I was looking to tighten it up so there wasn’t any wiggle room for argument.

I hate submarines now!  But, that is how it should be.

look up both of the  “Happy time” for the U-boats, and the effects on American subs to Japanese merchant shipping. W/o ASW technology, radar, sonar, naval sonar… the allies have major troubles to cope with. However, Japan also has some issues because of its island economy.

But remember subs cant hit air units and subs are not brought in as the same combat with naval surface units. Sub interactions are seperate.

There appears to be an intentional amphibious assault landing into Western Europe out of SZ 13.  Is this correct?

• Can the allies enter the Northeastern portion of SZ 5 (e.g., the part in front of the canal) in order to invade Germany?

• We were curious what the intent behind the canal in Denmark is

• Can a fleet in SZ 34 repair in Cairo, or is it cut off by the canal?

• Do the VCs turn the whole country into a dock or just a specific SZ? (e.g., does Rio de Janeiro support SZs 22 & 18 or just SZ 22)

1. No they must control western Europe and Norway first.
2. The Germans had mined the danish straights with both sub net and sea mines. their is no way in hell of any allied ships getting into the Baltic or any Soviet units getting out once placed there. The allies to even have a chance to get in would have to control the coast and send teams of men to clear the mines. Also Germany had guns to fire at passing enemy ships. In game terms the idea that Germany has to build a navy for the sole purpose of protecting Berlin from capture is an abomination and fantasy. Nothing even remotely like an allied invasion of the coast of the Baltic was possible due to weather, underwater currents,and many other issues. Now in game terms if Germany wants a navy its for the purpose of actually using it to sink ships and not building CV to protect Berlin et al.
3. No it must be in SZ 15 to repair.
4. The sea zone adjacent to the city is where the dock can only be made

keep up with more questions!
