    • RE: Minor Axis & Allied Powers

      I like these rules, they’ll add a lot to the game.

      One thing I have noticed, however, was the lack of Canadian output as based in Axis and Allies. The Canadians kept Britain alive up until 1941, when the US joined, and it was our fleet that escorted the mass majority of the convoys. At the end of the war, we had the 3rd largest fleet and the 4th largest army in the world. Our vast grain fields in Saskatchewan supplied the troops in Europe, uranium from the Northwest Territories made the A-bomb. The First Canadian Army had nearly 500 000 troops at its peak. Canadian troops traveled furthest inland on D-Day, and held the central German counterattack off long enough for the Americans to get set up. I can go on and on.

      Now Canada has a total IPC value of…. 4.

      You guys want to more than quadruple the value of India than Canada. What is wrong with you guys?

    • RE: Infantry as Superior Defensive Purchase – Still True in Revised?

      I find another problem with this entire business. We are only dealing with land units here, and also on a massive scale to boot. I can see a Russian force consisting of 30 soldiers, but if the German has 10 infantry, 5 armor, 2 fighters, and a bomber attacking, those 30 infantry are gone. but 20 infantry with 6 armor would deal more damage in my books, simply because the 3 has a bigger chance than the 2 of the infantry, and once you reach a certain point, stacking starts to go down. It’s a negative parabola. It sucks with only 3 infantry, its good with 10-30 infantry, but it starts to suck again after that… if merely for a bigger picture rather than that small territory it’s fought in. I’m sorry I can’t use particular details, or examples, but your cases of 100 infantry are completely irrelevant…
