    • RE: New Big 60'x30' World Map! (Global Conflict)

      After having some conversations with my brother, another A&A fan, I’m considering adding these as new unit stats.

      Cost  Attack  Defense  Movement  Other
      Destroyer        10        2          3            2        Revised sub detection rules
      Cruiser            14        3          3            3        Combined Bombardment technology                   
                                                                              applies only to cruiser
      Aircraft Carrier 16        1          1            2        (lets be honest, an aircraft carrier
                                                                              without any fighters on it is a sitting
                                                                              duck)

      The next few units I hesitate a bit because it would make some countries with more unit possibilities as others  Right now Germany has one special unit (blockhouse) and Japan also has one special unit (komakazi Plane)  I have toyed with the idea of letting each country have one nation specific unit, but again that would still leave Germany with too many units.

      Cost  Attack  Defense  Movement  Other
      Supply Truck      3        0          0            2        Act as land transports (effectively
                                                                              creating the possibility of mechanized
                                                                              infantry)  I’m not convinced that this
                                                                              is necessarily the best use for these
                                                                              trucks.
                                                                              Perhaps instead trucks can be used to
                                                                                carry two infantry into battle. 
                                                                                These infantry attack at 2.
      Me 109              8        2          3            4        Dogfight (attack 1, defense 1)
                                                                                German only
      Tiger Tank          8        3          4            1        (historically these massive tanks
                                                                                  proved very difficult to move into
                                                                                  position due to their extreme size.
                                                                                  They proved to be much better on
                                                                                  defense) - German only

      Tekkyy I am nowhere near a photoshop expert.  The map was my first and only photoshop project I have ever worked on. I just learned as I went along.

      Imperious Leader  I mailed the disk yesterday. 
      Enjoy.

      The Map with units (same map as above except has units on it, i did it in a hurry so the units look like crap)

      The Setup

      Imperious Leader I don’t have Illustrator. I did the map using photoshop.  The photoshop file is also nearly 300+MB so it wont fit on mediafire.  However if you would like it so you could alter the colors to you desire I will find a way to get it to you, provided you send me a copy of the map file with your new color scheme.

      As I said above, the set up is a slightly modified Europe and Pacific setup. Hence thats why there are so many carriers for japan, just like in pacific. The six komakazis represent the six that japan had in pacific. I added a couple of battleships and transports to make up for japan not being able to use its destroyers Tokyo express its troops or bombard the shore like in pacific. I considered it a necessary evil.  Still I believe that the game clearly favors the allies if the axis doesn’t act swift.

      And  In case anyone didn’t notice already the red in the setup are changes not found in the Europe, pacific, or revised setups.  (Red in the rulebook is changes fin text from the Revised edition.)

      If anyone is interested i have a map with units placed directly on it. I didnt spend very much time on it since it was only meant to help play balance the setup.  Ill email it to anyone who wants to look at it. It probally saves a lot of time rather than comparing charts to territories.  (its about 6 MB so i cant post it on this site)

      I forgot to included the rule book, which is essentially a carbon copy of the Revised Rulebook, with any changes highlighted in red for easy reference.

      see the attachment

      P.S. I apologize for the lack of graphics in the book.  I had to strip it out to fit on the forum.

    • New Big 60'x30' World Map! (Global Conflict)

      **Feb 17 2008
      These files are now unavailable. Newer versions are available for download at
      http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?2gmbdgml0zy

      For some time Ive been working on a New map for a larger World War.  My hopes have been to Combine the best elements out of Pacific and Europe.  I have tried to keep the map territories as unmodified as possible, however some changes in boundaries, and IPC values have been made. I would love some feedback from those of you willing to take some time and play test it.

      The Map with units (Basically notes for myself on where to place units and ipc values, not intended for play, just as a visual reference) - UPDATED 1/7/08

      The Setup - UPDATED 1/7/08
      http://www.mediafire.com/?7t9yuziv090

      The Game Features the Big Eight
      Germany
      Russia
      Japan
      United Kingdom
      France
      Italy
      China
      United States

      I hope that this version expresses the delemia the Axis was in.  Namely they must mussel their military might power before the Allies, and mostly the US, flat out out produce them industrially. I have tried to discourage Russia and Japan from fighting without banning it outright. On the German front I tried to present the real possibility of England’s economic isolation through German Naval power.  (remember historically Germany’s u boat campaigns nearly starved Britain and left her practically bankrupt) Finally its possible to have the battle of the Atlantic.  Italy has been introduced, but will most likely not succeed in Africa without German help.  To prevent the mighty US from sending all its 100 IPC might solely against Germany (and little brother Italy) Ive come up with victory conditions that assures Allied defeat if they focus nearly all their attention on one axis power.

      Thanks Everyone
