I like MB map a little more than the new one, better color tone and topography. The oceans always need to be blue. What I do like about the revised map are the naturally impassable terrains, Sahara and Himalayas and gonna implement that onto my current board somehow.

I did find a south pacific expansion that overlaps the blowup boxes at the bottom right of the map. http://www.kw.igs.net/~tacit/aanda/expansions/sep.htm
It adds IPC value to the tiny islands and increases the value of current japanese controlled territories. The new revised map also increased the value of Borneo and Australia and rasing the larger island territories to “2” and giving the non-valuable islands a “1” should make the pacific theatre more reason to battle there. It even suggests adding a few more units on the board this way. What I dont like about this method is that England has a starting economic value higher than Germany. However Japans is significantly increased and USA slightly increases.

Is it realistic to assume that USSR had a strogner economic value than what the starting map shows? I heard somehwere that the two biggest allied powers were USA and USSR, or was that an foolish source of info?

:? The fighter Cover rule is a new twist, but if fighters are already involved doesnt this just forces the bombers to use their ordnance against the military targets instead?

I might be wrong on this, but when conductiong an SBR, wouldn’t the bombers be at such a high altitude that the smaller fighters couldn’t reach them? (hence no fighter cover needed)

About the SS Panzers, they seem way overpowered. Very large and heavy, this fact is reflected in their movement which you list as 1, wouldn’t this also hinder their defensive capability being easier to hit by enemy fire? How about keeping them at the same cost of 5 ipc, but stats are now move 1, atk 4, def 3. The german player can instead convert as many starting tanks as he wants to these models instead and still have jet power…
