The sad part is it would take just as long to use Italian transports to move your units to Africa! Perhaps someone will make a silly house rule that allows Germany to turn over a certian number of units to Italy that they can load onto transports and ship to Africa much quicker on their turn.  Call it an “Expiditionary Force” Rule or something?

“Rommel” will probably never make it to Africa without a very determined German player.

Think about it
You’ll probably take a Mediteranean coastal territory on Turn 2 so…
Turn 3 place new Industrial complex on said territory
Turn 4 produce 3 transports, less if you have to also produce escorts becuase of Allied air
Turn 5 move units you’ve had waiting at port to Africa

Does this even sound like a workable plan to anyone? I don’t think so! Perhaps there will be a Complex in Marsielle that will allow you to produce your transports on Turn 3 instead?  Either way your getting a few German units to Africa by turn 4-5 but not enough to make an Assualt on Egypt.  Don’t forget that while all this is going on your preparing to attack Russia and holding off various U.K mischief.

Looking to start an Pacific 40’ game, any takers?

Looking for some Saint Charles, MO area players who would be interested in starting a monthly A&A club.

They should be grey then, that way if you wan’t some special SS units you can paint them black.

Fantastic news, speaking for myself you have one very happy-to-be customer. :-D

Why would Iran be a pro Ally Nuetral considering at best both sides were potential allies/enemies.  The Allies invaded Iran they did not sign an alliance agreement.

Although what does reality have to do with a game.

77 pages…mostly of crazy demands…perhaps a seperate thread for insane wishes should be made  :-)

I’m just looking forward to a complete product for me to purchase.  :wink:

1. It’s the perfect use for the sneak attack
2. What U.S. fleet in Hawaii? the first impulse wiped them out
3. The U.S. may recapture it but you’ll just land more troops there next turn
4. If Germany has any balls/skill at all he will take Poland on his first impulse and France on his second so who cares.
5. China is a punk and you can easily keep up and outpace his production, plus with two turns of combat you can F them up on turn 1.
6. An attack on the U.S. does not cancel your Sino-Soviet Pact?

So after a couple turns the U.S. is locked in a perpetual combat to retake Western U.S. thus keeping them from going after Germany.  Which makes them a much more usefull part of the Axis than just running around the pacific and crawling through China for no real gain.  What do you think is more important…Japan slugging through Chinese territories or keeping the U.S. from taking part in the War in Europe.

Perhaps the rules/setup are different now, but the original played out this way.

Yeah, Japan can take Western U.S. before America is even active if they go all out for it.  Before we figured that out we enjoyed the game for its new take on the rules.

I would be in for a set for sure, I’m so tired of cobbling my pieces together from multiple games just so I can play one game.

Yeah, without the mountains of material the Allies were sending the russians the would not have been able to fight, and for sure they would not have been able to support any large scale offensives of their own.

Canada needs to be a power as bad as Romania does, at what point do you say enough is enough and let it go.  Canada was an important part of the Allied effort but to deny England those forces during their turn is yet another hit on their available manpower and IC’s.  England needs everything it can get to keep up with Germany as it is, so this leaves no justification to have yet another power on the board that can only roll off a few infantry per turn and hope to god that their transports are not destroyed which would then render them impotent.

There should be a factory in Eastern Canada though.

Perhaps a “Raid on Dieppe” game would justify such action?

Looks like this one is going to be great, I cannot wait until its release!  Thanks for the pics

I’m sure they will give instructions on where to put the scotch tape and construction paper to make it all work  :roll:

Ok Gewehr I’m up, pick what ever rules you wish and then roll for sides

I’m up for another game, just send me a PM  :-)

I agree with the 1 DD cancles out 1 SS idea.  I mean really even throwing out the logic part of it leaves you with the game balance aspect that one 8 IPC unit can cancel an infinite number of 6 IPC units is a little silly.  Of course the whole math factor can be scary to most who fear that such equations are best left to Einstein and leave most gamers running to the hills.

Alright choose your setup and roll for sides whenever your ready.  :-)
