sure but i only have the one over sized map to use. and it is 8x4 ft large, same size as standard sheet of ply wood.
i have refined the pieces used to address some of the starting density issues.
Some areas you cant help to be crowded even with standard AA pieces. mostly the island of great britain and italy. rest of map has plenty of room.
Okay thx for your reply guys.
I thought, that u can upgrade your army in those a&a BOARD games.
So the miniature game is different and u cant use those boosters on the board game?
Or can u?
Because i think it would be pretty nice to upgrade those “normal and boring” standard-units for example tigers and shermans for example.
Exactly what I did. Check this out

on your '39 varient i don’t know. on my set ups and map, yes it is too much. IJN turn 1 with my setups, IJN rolls over their competition while still being ambitious, with minimal losses.
if your pacific is close to mine still, then you will see. Set up your board with IJN +Anzac + US pacific forces only. Attack with Japan and just see what you can/could do with a Sneak attack. Now take into consider the possible ramifications globally that can help or hurt your side.
A sneak attack would allow japan easy island conquest with minimal forces, while setting up a super sweet turn 2 and invade HI. US would have left, if japan does it correctly 3 ships left in the pacific, no transports, no land units on HI. and possibly midway also.
in doing this, US has no choice but to respond, leaving Germany in a much better position.
I assume Russia and IJN have their treaty?
If they do, then that closes one front.
I apologize if this doesn’t help because if our set up charts are mostly different.
Sorry for all the International finance info, But just trying to back up my statement that the Peoples Republic of China has a long way to go before they become the worlds #1 super power
1. China will quickly overtake the United States as the world’s most powerful economy.
According to a November poll by the Pew Research Center, 44 percent of Americans believe that China is already the world’s top economic power, while 27 percent put the United States in that position. That perception is completely at odds with the facts. This year, China’s economy is expected to produce about $5 trillion in goods and services. That would put it ahead of Japan as the world’s second-biggest national economy, but it would still be barely one-third the size of the $14 trillion U.S. economy and well behind the European Union, if taken as a whole.
2. China’s vast holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds mean it can hold Washington hostage in economic negotiations.
China has the biggest holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds of any country – around $1 trillion. Many people think this means China is “America’s banker” and that, like a bank, it can withdraw its line of credit by selling off its Treasuries whenever Washington does something Chinese leaders don’t like.
But China’s Treasury holdings are not like regular loans that a bank extends to a company. They are more like deposits: safe, liquid and carrying a very low interest rate. Like a depositor, China has little ability to tell its bank how to run its business. It can only vote with its feet, by taking its deposits elsewhere – but its deposits are so huge, there is no other “bank” in the world that can take them. The European and Japanese bond markets are not big enough to absorb that much Chinese cash, nor can China buy enough oil fields, ore mines or real estate to soak up its money. And it can’t simply invest all its dollars at home, because doing so could lead to rampant inflation. So like it or not, Washington and Beijing are stuck with each other – and neither has the power to hold the other hostage.
5. China’s economy has grown mainly through the cruel exploitation of cheap labor.
Every time a developing economy starts growing fast, richer countries accuse it of “cheating” by keeping its wages and exchange rate artificially low. But this isn’t cheating; it’s a natural stage of development that comes to an end in every country, as it will in China. China has grown in much the same way as other economies we now view as mature and responsible success stories – including Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Those nations invested heavily in infrastructure and education, and quickly moved their workers from low-productivity jobs in rural areas to more productive jobs in cities. When rural labor was abundant, wages were low, but they rose rapidly after those surplus workers joined the urban labor force.
China is hitting that spot now: The number of young people of workforce entry age (15 to 24) is projected to fall by one-third over the next 12 years. With young workers more scarce, wages have nowhere to go but up. This is already happening: Last month, Guangdong province (China’s main export hub) raised its minimum wage by 20 percent.
China still has plenty of workers moving from the countryside to the cities, but the age of ultra-cheap Chinese labor will soon be gone.
Euro-crisis is becoming a global crisis and it’s not the US the world is leaning on for help. It’s China, the next great super-power. I like the US, they have done lot’s of good things in the world, but some have a sense of entitlement there. I hope the US can manage the transition to being the world’s #2 super-power behind China.
I would say you might be right, but with Chinas minimum wage rising by 13% every year till 2020, they will soon find themselves in a similiar economic situation as the USA. In fact around 2015 you will begin to see alot of the manufactured goods made in china start to comeback to US to be produced. People will want Quality over quantity again and “Made in the USA” will again mean something.
I do believe you r wrong, the world does lean on the USA for Support and has done so since WWII. Now the Communist countries of the world May lean on china, but thats only cause the USSR doesn’t exist any more.
Sense of entitlement? what are we supposedly entitled to?
China’s economy Depends Heavily on the US $
I do however believe that Canada will be the North American Saudi Arabia soon. They Canada has more Oil then they want people to know.
we got alot more then a Louisiana swamp son.
As for the Spanish, US bought Florida from Spain, and the US took the Southwestern US from Mexico.
@Vance:
No, my friend, being called a Republican is not a compliment. It is something lower than drug dealer, pimp, pedophile, or even bank executive.
Nothing is Lower then a Pedophile, and i would appreciate it if you didnt compare me to one. thanks.
this is all in fun.
thats a complement though……
Absolutely right. Canadian reputation is well known overseas cannot say the same thing about US citizen… :-D
Maybe you might be right, but when there is global problems, who does everyone call first? The USA, either it be Military support or Humanitarian.
back on topic for 1 sec.
I do however think your independent canada in game does have some merit.
@Vance:
Yes that’s all I have. I don’t know of anything worse that I could call you.
how about Canadian?
@Vance:
pfffft Republican
Thats all you got? call me a Republican. Guess the truth hurts.
You must have Beedy little eyes and a floppy head?
@Imperious:
Good. you left off Celebes which for some stupid reason was part of the DEI NO for Japan. Problem was Celebes has no oil or anything of value, except large spiders.
Are u kidding Imp? The worst enemy I ever fought were those Damn Celebian spiders,
Just look at it eat that poor soldier.
These are not ur normal spiders here
He was made the Villian because he made 1 statement (pro Nazi) that got printed in french Newspaper. I don’t remember exactly the headline but, it stated something along the lines “Here’s to a Nazi victory” or something like that. and thats what screwed him during Nurnberg trials
Petain actually helped his people, choosing to send them as labor to Germany vs Fielding French fighting Units for Germany. He chose work over bloodshed for his people in his mind. He had No Idea germany wouldnt return said workers AT the agreed time.
Canada simply exists because the US allows it. :-D
Canada benefits more greatly from being the USA Neighbor then the other way around.
First and foremost of all the Canadien benefits that Canada gets for being our (USA) Neighbor and one that is taken way for granted is that they (Can.) fall under our (USA) own Defensive Military Umbrella of N.America.
Another example- NAFTA- North American Free trade Agreement. This trade treaty actually Hurt the USA more then it helped, Although Mexico and Canada greatly benefited from this.
Another example-proposed Keystone xl pipeline, enough said there. Guess who would buy most of the oil?
What has Canada given to the US?..…Bryan Adams Thank you so very much. :-)
The best reason the USA is better then Canada- Were not Dumb enough to let the French have a chunk out of the middle. Quebec ring a bell
Use Monopoly Hotels and houses to represent them, lol
what is the point of said unit, will it cost Germany 5 IPC’s per turn to exercise the final solution?
seriously, why do you need POW camps/ethnic cleansing camps? doesn’t seem to be useful.

Not to mention after 2-3 rds of play, the board cleans up and everyones turn goes quicker, especially if players know what they r going to buy and do b4 their turn starts. the reason I think this game takes so long is the vast number of units to move around for all the countries. But once everything is basically in their respective stacks, things move forward nicely. Also you might consider not only using Fleet markers, but also Army Markers. These work really well and keep the board clutter free. Its alot easier to move 1 Army Marker then 20+ individual units and chips.
thisd also works for Italy and USA, until USA can influence Italian moves, you can also start USA turn “early”. You can do this with most Countries. Start new country turns during the previous countries Non combat moves and Placement. The map is rather large, so there is always space on the map to start country turns early without screwing with other countries abilities to act normally.
