1942 is a good game for timed games or games that you want to finish in one day. 1940 on the other hand has way more openings and variants that 1942. Because of this 1940 is best played in email rather than live. For 9 years we would play 1940 in a live format every Easter in a 2 day game session. At the end of the 2 day game sessions we still only had one or two games that came close to being completed. Some 1940 strategies require the game to proceed more than 10 rounds or more. In fact after taking data from the forum online games most games ended on turn 15 or so. This takes way to long to play in one day or even 2 days. 1942 solves this problem and still keeps the game strategic and interesting but 1940 still has more possible openings and endings.

Painted the new French Pieces. All pieces are magnetic as well. Some will be like unicorns and never see the board.

I updated the Nation Objective cards.

• Added Missing Cards

• Removed France since its a one time occurrence

• Removed Russian NO, Iraq

• Added separate cards for Russian Lend Lease Lane,  (2) and (4)

@cyanight

How you play 1942 depends on how many turns you plan to play. In tournament its around 6-8. Not enough time to get capital victory unless a complete failure on dice or strategy. I have a new plan this year and its completely based on the length of the game.

@freh Understood, thanks for the clarification :)

I finally finished my Italian pieces. I wanted to post them when I completed the whole set.

P.108 Heavy Bombers

I did something similar with my pieces. I bought some extra infantry and cut off the bases to use with the artillery. The main reason I did this was because my set is also magnetized and I need a base to put the magnet inside. The Inf and artillery also have roundels on the colored bases as well.  All the tanks and mech share a common country color scheme as do the ships. The ships also have a color scheme except for the Carriers which I made with my own custom decals. The Subs, Destroyers, transports and battleships and cruisers share a common color scheme though. Battleships also have a clear flag on them to distinguish them from cruisers.

New Tech tokens - (Purple poker chips)

New registered dice from vegas.

New Objective cards

Technology - War Bonds (These will be used to indicate the player has the war bonds technology)

Technology - Long Range Aircraft . (Normally these would fall over but they are magnetized and take up very little space. Even less than the plane itself. Any plane on a stand is designated to have long range technology) These are polarized to match any magnet on a plane or carrier. This works on any plane so I don’t have to have sculpts for LRA.

Here is the first set of my Amerika pieces.

• Horton XVIII (German Heavy Bomber)

• Meteor (UK Jet)

• Centurion (UK Heavy Tank)

More on the way so stay tuned :)

Wow, excellent work. Incredible detail.
