@Imperious:

German opening moves:

Builds: 4 Infantry or 2 infantry and 1 tank.

1. SZ 16 DD and SS to SZ 14, bring in fighter from Italy and Bomber from Germany.
2. SZ 4 SS to SZ 5, BB and SS from Black sea to SZ 5, with both fighters from Western Europe and Germany.
3. AP drops off 2 men in North Africa, plus land one fighter for defense. AP position will depend on what happens to attack on SZ 14

Eastern Front:    Not sure about turn order�but I assume Russia goes first?

1. Russia builds 2 units probably 2 infantry, or 1 Artillery and 1 infantry.
2. They will most likely attack West Russia -option #1- and or Finland with West Russia as- option #2.
3. West Russia only attack would be all units in range, except 1-2 infantry left in Karelia. Finland attack will be 1 fighter and 3 infantry. If they go all in at West Russia, all builds go in Caucasus.
   This leaves Germany with taking Caucasus and or Karelia or risking a even battle against West Russia.

i think you should have another look at the map. 1 sub, 2 figs vs battleship and sub is bit risky, so i’d add bomber there. not attacking egypt is okay, but don’t expect to hold north africa: brits can match your forces + add bomber and such. norway and finland is 2 inf vs 3 rus, you lose the fighter if you send it there from moscow. most likely attacks will be west russia, perhaps with ukraine or manchuria. artillery is not (yet?) included, but i’d include it as houserule. and don’t forget; if germany uses all air vs the russian they can smash it in 1 or 2 rounds…

still, should have expanded soviet far east…

versus germany or japan? i think japan can be vulnerable… but germany is so strong, certainly with extra 7 from Russia (makes them around 19, lolz)

i think to take down the AC you need an extra fig ans bomber. it’s 2-hit now, right?
you can send sub vs american transport. then use other figs and or bomber vs battleship. or mix them up; send fig to egypt with additional forces and send sub together with planes vs battleship. or let battleship live… many options :P

i would send it against the battleship. but i’m doubting heavily. i’ll probably take out AC with extra fig and bomber, and the US transport.

any first ideas?

already suggesting more than i should, but…
switch troops from west-russia and ukraine?

@wittman:

I think it looks like the kind of game we can all play around with and if I do not see it for sale in England soon I  am bally going to burst like a balloon!

same thing! ship it to europe! :)

seems that japan can easily reach (and take?) india and caucasus by round 2.
if germans then take down egypt…

man, so many options in such a smell game. i like it!
only change would be introducing artillery from other versions (cost 4, but no support).

eastern front looks heavy. looks like ukraine will be quite luck based.

do transports transport 1 inf and tank?
and how come US is at 15?

tu me gusta mucha!!! tyvm

@Bob_A_Mickelson:

I’m quite eager myself. Next to seeing the map I think its the most important piece of information we could obtain. I’m sure he’s playing the game right now. He will likely post the setup tonight and a review tomorrow. Of course I hope I’m wrong and he surprises us all with both the setup and the review today, but I don’t think its likely.

the map is out, right?
it’s just. 1 damn pic, that’s all. why not just that?? it’s 5 seconds work :(

Five seconds of work that he doesn’t have to do. You’re frustrated that a guy, who runs a free site and has his own life to worry about, isn’t taking your sleep and exams into consideration?

Pretty weak, dude.

i’m gratefull for him, but i can’t stand the bastards who made the game. why not give out all info immediately?
sorry if i sounded overreacting or angry or selfish.

i got exams and sleep, i’m GMT+1. I’ve been looking every break.I’m quite frustrated actually

the setup was promised to us today! :(

same here. finally a version to play with friends.

@Veqryn:

wow…. Carriers cost 12 and BBs cost 16???

that is 2 cheaper for Carriers, and 4 cheaper for BBs

and no artillery???

I am also very surprised to see tanks at 6. 
Tanks at 6 only makes sense on a “large” map.
On a small map, Tanks make more sense at 5, since you can’t run around a stack of infantry anyway.

I have a small feeling that with Tanks at 6, and no Artillery, that this is going to turn into “mega-inf stacks” game.

house rules… i suggest adding artillery at 4 (but no support for infantry). cause tanks are expensive, but on a small map they’re supermobile…

tanks at 6 is an utter disaster! i think if i’d buy the game i’d remove the 6 an replace with 5, atleast. or even 3, while making inf 2. the game is to draw players in; not bore them to death with a) no units on the board and b) only inf, because tanks are too expensive…

the game IS a joke.
