German Campaign is halway done. I also added a W@S scenario for the Battle of the Atlantic.

Playing by forum or email is slow. If I have a chance to play live I will. Do you play minis also?

I place all 8 infantry in Caucasus.

Karelia: 3 inf 1 fighter
Archangel: 1 inf
W. Rus.: 4 inf 2 art 3 arm
Caucasus: 12 inf 1 arm
Buryatia: 6 inf
Russia: 4 inf 1 fighter

3 isn’t high enough. Look how hard it was when the US tried to take Iwo Jima and Okinawa from the Japanese Island Defenders. It should be 4 at 4 IPC’s. Like I said, we usually play for historically accuracy, not even gameplay.

Here is the Air Force info.
Dogfighting game
Scale is 1:100
Can be used with AAM but will also have its own rulebook
30 miniatures total
Guaranteed minis are
ALLIES

P-40 Flying Tiger

Me 110

I usually play online on the forums.

I have 1 friend who I play Revised with. I also play minis with him.

Okay, so maybe 4 at 4 IPC’s.

You’re right, island defenders should be lower defense. Maybe 3 or 4 at 6 IPC’s or 5 at 9 IPC’s.
We play with these for mostly historical gameplay, not for an even game. We like to play how conditions actually were for a better game. The Soviet Union had hundreds of thousands of partisans and soldiers to defend Russia.They had the soldiers, but not ammo which is why they defend on 1 and cannot attack. I think 1 IPC would be reasonable because it cannot attack and defends on 1.

My 2 infantry are hit.
Noncombat move
All men in Kazakh SSR to Caucasus
All men in Novosibirsk to Russia
1 inf from Russia to Archangel
All men from Soviet Far East and Yakut SSR to Buryatia
All men in Evengi National Orkug to Russia
Submarine from sz4 to sea zone 2.
USSR collects 26 IPC’s. Germany’s turn.
I’ll be gone for vacation starting Friday night for 8 days and will have no internet connection so it will be a while before I can get back on.

The name is Surface Action.
It will be released it late October.
Retail value will be $15.99.
I’ll update as more is known.

Sometimes when we play Revised we use Special units for each country instead of national advantages. This unit doesn’t replace the first one, it just adds another choice. Here’s what we use.
Country/Unit/att/def/move/special abilities/cost/marked with
Soviet Union/Partisan/0/1/1/Can be built in any red terrirtory/1/Infantry with roundel under it
Germany/SS-Panzergrenadier/2/3/2/can blitz like tanks/5/Infantry with roundel under it
United Kingdom/Supermarine Spitfire/4/5/4/none/13/fighter with roundel
Japan/Island Defender/0/5/0/can be built only on islands/3/infantry with roundel
USA/B-29/5/3/6/immune to AA guns/20/bomber with roundel

Can we have an Angels 20 forum in the miniatures section? We need it for when it comes out in a few months.
