Maybe we could use something really distinct like a flaming marker for convoy box damage so that it is clear and obvious. A lot of times there are so many units on the board you can’t really see the map. Just an idea. The map is so good and has so much on it really don’t want to see it changed.

Yup, understand it was only 21 ipcs… But it doesnt allow the USA to have any type of air force that it actually had in the war. I mean I couldn’t even think of having a bombing force or a large navy. USA is really cash strapped. I understand you are trying to balance the game the problem I have is that Germany is so large numbers wise in comparison to actual history compared to the USA and the UK.

Well it was interesting in that you said I should have 3 transports groups of 5 transports. I had 3 groups of 4 and could not have spent a single more ipc on them because I only had minimal air and minimal navy. If Germany would have had any more air he could have destroyed the fleet. So I don’t know where and or HOW I was going to get MORE to Europe than I already had. I was getting about 40-50 a turn from Ryan and 80 on like turn 4. I am curious on how you would go about getting 3 groups of 5 trans, navy, air and ground units?? The ipcs to do so just aren’t there. Unless you abandon the Pacific and you don’t want that to happen either. You just can’t have it both ways. Just saying.

Justin played Germany and did one heck of a great job at it. I played the US East and UK and had a hell of a time dealing with all the subs Germany and Italy had. I had to deal with about 33 subs in all in the Atlantic… Talk about a lot of fun–not. Justin put up with my many mistakes like with Tactical bombers being a 6 then a 4 and then a 3 for taking out subs. Many a time Justin had to correct me with my rolls and he was very patient each time. I could have done a lot better in the Mediterranean and was too focused on Europe proper but it all worked out. Italy ran rampant in the med but did not even try to take Cairo. Problem was Justin had a lot on his plate with Germany and Italy so it worked out the way it did. Thank you all… Had a great game but I am so sore from all the up and down. LOL

If you are in the Milwaukee area and would like to learn how to play this version – Like I am… Talk to the General and see if you can get an invite and come!!

@gen-manstein Looking forward to being there!!! See you all tomorrow!!

Ray, those are some awesome pieces!!! I bet you they cost a pretty penny!!! I love how they look.

@gen-manstein

I honestly think a cost of 8 is way to low for a med. bomber than can do 1-6+1 points of damage to a territory. I mean in the regular game a 15 cost bomber can only do 1-6 points of damage. I think this makes the med. Bomber way to strong.

I also don’t agree that land territories should be able to be bombed. It really only helps the UK bomb France and Europe. It won’t help Germany in bombing the UK. I just don’t see how it helps everyone and equally in any way.

I like intercepters and separating med. bombers and hvy/stg bombers but disagree with all the damage they can do for their cost.

Hi Dan, This is Mark – that is some warp speed there… Couldn’t have gotten a more flattering side of me?? LOL Instead of the whole me!! LOL

The video looks good. Is/was there sound? I only ask because I don’t have sound on my computer right now. Cat chewed the cord and lived!

Yes it was a great game and a fun time!! Thanks for letting me play FEC and Anzac had a great time doing so. I plan on building a board of my own to look at using Ray’s map and rules… So I can study them at my leisure! Great time all!!

According to your map it would be 2… But I dont think it should be 2. It is a close area… Should be 1.

Trulpen is a fun player to play with!! I have to admit he will make you think!!

Excellent work!! I sure wish I could afford something like that!! It is just nice to see on the board… So much diversity.

Haha – you’re getting old!! You don’t have it all memorized by now!! Even with the map changes… haha… Just kidding… It looks awesome Ray–great job!!

Looking good Ray!!!

Thanks Ray!!

@barnee Yeah Barnee I think you are right… Well… back to the drawing board!!!

Thanks

Maybe-- it will be awhile have to get the walls finished and all… But thanks for the information!!!

@SS-GEN No I was hoping a 4X8 but the room is 12X15 or so… it would be a tight fit. May have to consider the smaller map ??

@SS-GEN Ouch, that is big!! I don’t think I have enough room with the walls to do that and have room to walk around them. Well hmm… Thanks Ray appreciate the quick response!! How big did or are you going to make this map that you made??

Mark

@SS-GEN Hey Ray!!! How big is your table that you have in the basement?? I mean measurements wise with the dice trays and all. I am thinking of putting one in my basement but I don’t know if the area is going to be big enough and it is hard to just guess-gauge without measuring?

Thanks- Mark

@SS-GEN You mean I can’t go all out for Berlin!!! HAHA… yeah I know… but I want Justin to suffer!! LOL
