I believe around the year 2004 I purchased two great axis and allies maps created by a gentleman by the name of Ralph Boerke from Waterloo Canada. The maps were laminated and the first one was a 1942 world map. The second one was a Europe only map. Anyways I just found both maps at my parents house. I have played the world map and loved it as Ralph included different rules for his game. The Europe only map is huge! I never played it though :(. Has anyone ever played this A&A Europe map created by Ralph? I know he was working on a pacific map also and wondered if he ever released it?
Let's talk Jeeps!

It doesn’t really fit the role of “jeep” but it does fit into the game nicely……
-
well you did get jeeps with mounted machine guns. the stats mentioned above go with that
-
funny :lol:
-
Actually, an expansion for the Nova version had jeeps
Attack 1
Defend 1
Move 2
Cost 3
I would go for that.
OH MY WORD!!!
how come no one mentioned the jeep to work with the little commander piece of Patton to ride around it? :evil:

Correction: It wasn’t a Nova expansion, it was a Milton Bradly expansion. It included:
Super Bombers
Cost 18
Move 6
Attack 5
Defend 1
Jeeps
Cost 3
Move 2
Attack 1
Defend 1
Jet Fighters
Cost 15
Move 2
Attack 4
Defend 5
Heavy Fighters
Cost 15
Move 4
Attack 4

No need to thank me, just some positive Karma would be nice.
It seems I’ve gained quite a few haters after I ripped FMG’s new Unit Counter Chips project out from the clutches of Rainbow Bright.

I meant it was made for the MB version, not the Nova version.
Nova version used paper, MB plastic pieces. -

You know, a 1-1-2-3 jeep actually makes a good justification for truck pieces being Motorized Infantry at 1-2-2-4, does it not?
Although, were there really whole units made up of jeeps? In North Africa, maybe. Perhaps Trucks ought to 1-1-2-3 as well.

Well, it seems that every army needs its fodder units, so I would rather have 1 armor unit 3-3-2-5 and 1 jeep unit 1-1-2-3 for a total IPC cost of 8 than have 2 motorized infantry at 2-2-2-4 at the same IPC cost of 8, because when you lose the first hit, then you still have a 3 attacking/defending. Now, if you give the motorized infantry the ability to be upgraded by artillery units, then it may be more balanced, but getting the artillery to keep up with them is a different matter.

A jeep? AND a truck?
OK IMO the only use for such playing pieces is jeep could be used for motorized inf and the truck for something like a support unit IF somebody wanted to concoct a chain-of-supply house rule for linking ICs with Forward Edge Battle Areas.
Otherwise, what two distinctively different units are they supposed to represent?
A division composed entirely of staff officers and a division of storesmen?

I agree. If I had 30 IPCs to spend, I’d buy 5 jeeps and 3 tanks.
