Did England and France even bother to send aid to the USA?

Indeed.
I only have ANZAC, China & Italy.
Waiting on the rest of em to be in stock.

FMG said back in August that they hope to have everything before Christmas, but I’m having my doubts.

@Yavid:

I was wondering when you were going to have more of the Russian set in stock?

And the Neutral sets?

But having a UK focused on Italy with an IC in Egypt is still pretty powerful.
Apparently the best counter is to buy at least 2 transports with Germany and have them all in range of attacking London.
That way, UK is then dealing with a situation where Germany MAY go for a sea lion, or is just feinting an attack…
If they deny their own defense, then sea lion is a green light to go. If they buff their own defenses and keep their planes at home, Italy has more room to breathe.

Here you are complaining about the game and the fact that there aren’t any official successor rules, yet you refuse to even try the very rules that probably will replace the old ones simply because you deem them “shoddy” and “untested” without even giving it a chance.

What a joke.

One thing I have a hard time understanding with people like you is…
Why do rules have to be 100% official for you to use?
Seriously, wtf? Is there a barrier preventing you from using them until Larry declares it to be official rules?

In the mean time, we’ll be enjoying the potential rules while you cry over the old ones.

You mean Mongolia, not Tibet.

Russia doesn’t get the bonus.
The rule doesn’t say “Axis powers that Russia is at war with.”
So, Germany can deny Russia’s bonus even if they aren’t at war with Russia.

Another thing, if Italy captured a Russian territory on its turn, Germany could noncombat move into that territory without declaring war.

@Young:

EDIT* If a battle began or ended with an air unit that had no legal landing spot, we as a group would re-roll the entire battle without the plane/s in question.

Why would you omit that plane from the battle? Even if it doesn’t have a landing spot, it can still participate in the battle. Plus, if you KNOW you are going to lose that plane anyway, you can take it as a casualty before another unit that would survive this battle and be okay. I’ve done that a few times here and there.

Because if a plane doesn’t have a legal landing spot, it shouldn’t be part of the battle in the first place.
You can’t sacrifice planes like that.

Think there could be pictures of the actual minis?
Seeing the models is cool, but wouldn’t pictures of the actual pieces be more enticing to people?

@ch0senfktard:

Seems the funding has really, really stalled over the past week.
Pretty disappointing, I was looking forward to getting my copy in February… Meh.

Still, I’m hoping it jumps up again…

Yes, we have noticed the same thing. We are hoping for a jump after GenCon now and another once we get final numbers on international shipping. Of course the best way to help is continuing to spread the word and get your gamer friends to throw in for a copy. Every bit helps!

I’ve already tried… without success… My buddies aren’t really into these games like I am. Sure they have fun playing, but they aren’t really really into it like I am… which should explain why I kick their asses in it every time.

I’ve posted discussions about “Amerika” in board game meetup groups that I’m apart of, hopefully I might get some to consider pitching in.

@toblerone77:

Anybody hear anything on the Japanese sets lately?

Apparently the Expansion set is delayed.

@ErwinRommel:

Does a german bomber in original chinesse territory prevent China from taking it back.

China can’t declare war on a European Axis power unless
one of those powers first either declares war on China or moves units into a territory into which Chinese units are allowed to
move.

I would definitely buy them.
Makes the game look better… and cooler.
Anything to make my games better.

Still waiting on that current dice restock though.

Awesome.

Yeah, you can easily copy and paste the pictures from the Italy & ANZAC folders and then switch them up. But since you both say you’ve had problems with distinguishing ANZAC units from USA, then I guess giving Italy ANZAC’s units might not be the best idea. But certainly the easiest to do.

Think I’ll do a “dark tan” as the rule book calls it for ANZAC.

You can easily replace the ANZAC unit pictures with others.

Heck, I just might get on that for myself now that I think of it. Easy change.
If I do get on with that, I guess I’ll share it. I don’t think I’d do more than just a simple color change.

Online, you enter into a lobby where people host games. There you can join games to play… or watch if it has already started. These games are live.

Play By Email… well, of course you’ll need the emails of others. I think everyone has to register to the dice server, TripleA should tell how to do it. But you get spammed a lot from the results of the game. So I’d recommend using a new email just for this if you decide to play it by Email.
Games by Forum or Email aren’t live of course. You get the results uploaded and then when it’s your turn, when you’re done, you post/send your results. TripleA conveniently does most of the work itself for that, I think.

And if you got a buddy right by ya, you could just play a local game.

Any updates on that? Man, would I love to complete this dice set.
