OK, I finally figured this out

@Panther Thanks for the speedy answer… feels like a strategy that might make me unpopular but if it’s legitimate then I suppose it’s fair game.

@andrewaagamer
Ah. I hadn’t understood that subtlety. It’s a bit like assuming that, as an attacker, I’m going to win - so, retreat isn’t an option. Thanks a lot for your help.

@always-wanderer

That one looks great too! Thank you again for sharing these great resources!

@the-captain

Cool!

@pmelmike:

Does anybody know a good place to buy alternate plastic infantry pieces that are unpainted and the same size as the original AA ones?  I would just like to have some with different poses, etc.  I haven’t looked that hard I admit, but all the ones that I’ve found so far are too big.

Not as good as:

But I must mention:

Yea, but the beautiful thing about this map is, Germany and Italy are two spaces away from each other.

Odds are, if one can be counter attacked, then so can the other but neither can just run infantry from one to the other without tanks.

We play with four,
hoping to add another.  We also speed up the game by going all Axis then all Allies.  We are going to add timers, to keep the game moving, we include a 6.5 hour time limit on our games, with pizza and beer, or in my case a shot of whiskey can not be with held.
