      Im not sure if the game can handle ongoing costs……counting all your units at the end of each turn is going to get complicated.
      Also, technically only units that move during a turn are expending oil…so shit would get crazy.

      It is only a surprise one time if the fleet all moved to sz 64 on the same turn that the Naval Base is built.    It could be interesting at the right moment in the right kind of game.  The Germans can not move troops from France to Russia as fast as the US can move thru the canal.

      Maybe a a global game in which Japan needs the Hawaiian Islands to win and the Germans can not take Moscow.

      I have faked builds on on side of the board and moved to the other in order to throw off Axis builds in other AA games.  Especially when I knew I needed two rounds to be organized.

      The JanusT

      As a huge fan of Imp Games’ East & West, these kinds of games always intrigue me. It’s set in 1948, so there are some similarities to the '46 scenario.

      IMHO, 1948 is sort of the high-water mark for NATO (i.e. the European empires) however, East & West is a bit non-historical in this sense.

      • NATO was not formed until 1949
      • Turkey and Greece did not join NATO until 1952, but are part of the Alliance in-game
      • Pakistan, India, and Burma were all independent of Britain in 1948; in E&W they are still part of the empire, and a huge thorn in the side of the USSR
      • The breakdown of Indonesia between Dutch-controlled areas and independent(ish) ones is not in line with history

      The other high-water mark of the Cold War (based on my research) is around 1975-76. Off the top of my head:

      • The Vietnam War was over; Cuba, Afghanistan, Angola, Mozambique, and Ethiopia were all ruled by communist regimes. The USSR (or Warsaw Pact) was at the height of its influence
      • The Arab League had expanded across all of north Africa; the Islamic Conference also greatly increased its membership around this time
      • The Central Treaty Organization (CENTO) including Turkey, Iran, and Pakistan, as well as the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) including Thailand, Philippines, Australia and New Zealand were still in existence, supported by the major NATO powers of the US, UK, and France
      • China had annexed Tibet and fought a small war with India

      I’ve done work on 1975-76 scenarios for both the Original A&A as well as E&W and have done a fair bit of study on the cold war era “map” so to speak. If anyone wants to discuss the subject/games here or in a PM, I’d be very happy to respond. :-)

      I think the Italian fleet is there to replicate the attack on Taranto. It is like, why is France there, if only to be killed by the Germans. Or why have a British fleet, if it will be mostly sunk. However, there are two subs in the area that can attempt to sink the carrier and destroyer, but it might fail, and the might leave you with more British ships alive by England, and that is not good.
      I am playing the game on Saturday, so I’ll post my opinions afterwards.

      Those are Canadian units Dylan, not Canadian volunteers in other Commonwealth or US forces.
