I am willing to travel semi far distances if your group is large enough.

I will be going to Milwaukee WI. July 7th to play a Game on Posi’s original map at AIG. If any one lives near by and wants to play, hit me up with a P.M. and I will add you to the list of peeps who want to play.

Deep Blue, I will take pics for you and everyone else so I can post them and you can see the board in later rounds 3 and on.

I Believe after round 6 or someone attacks the US they enter war in that game round 5 for Russia

It would be represented by the total US piece count.
In other words it’s going to take the US 3-4 turns to get up and running.
They should make a ton of money but start with a token force, make them go last, so the Axis powers have a chance at killing some of it to weaken US further.

I like the other idea of until war is declared on the US, that the US would only get a smaller portion.

The USA was not that much ahead ao Germany as far as production numbers are concerned at this stage of the War.  They Just Entered the war so they shouldn’t even be at full time war production The US may have had that lead in production near the end of the war, but not at this stage. Look at Deep Blues historical Numbers a 1% difference. how does that equal 2.5 x more then the US.

I’m definatly not the Greatest at Halo but can definatly hold my own and them some.

@Deaths:

So what we will have in the grand scheme of things is-

ALLIES = 205 IPC’s
AXIS + 123 IPC’s

22.5pts  over Half of Allied Production

This leaves England room to breath without smothering the Axis powers

So there it is
My 12 Cents

Take it as you will.    :evil:

DH

Then my suggestion is if the 82 IPC difference is the Issue and still trying to stay Historical how about this
Bump Gemany to 65
Japan 40
Italy 25
total 130

US 70
UK 55
Russia 42
China 10
total 177

for a difference of 47 IPC’s

How’s that for a poke

HALO SUCKS and I do Have a 360.

The best shooter on 360 is Battlefield 2 Modern Combat.
Followed by Call of Duty 2 and 3

For a Halo Feel but not the gayness of Needlers or Blue Grenades sticking to your face, FEAR is a sweet game also.

I understand that, The Japenese held territories are not going to add a lot to Japans total, maybe 4-6 IPC’s and thats being very generous.

Yes I read the post.  I know these are the historical numbers, but that seems to me to be what other people want. So you gave them the historical numbers, and that was some of my observations.  I have more. 
Thought that was the problem with my proposed IPC system which is not historically correct.  But if you want to get technical AAR OA&A is not historically correct either according to your numbers.
Take down US by 5 and UK by 10, That will close the  gap to 70 something difference

So….
I wasn’t that far off.
Plus if you go historical you might as as well  call it Germany vs the Allies. Also does that mean that whatever the US eventually makes, Germany will make 1 dollar less?

Historical totals is what they want, and if you even adjust them just a little, it’s no longer historical.
thats all I am saying.

So, looking at your note pad here l your IPC levels using those numbers,

You have an Axis total of 92

Germany 65
Japan 17
Italy 10

Allies 158

US 67
UK 47
Russia 23
China 20?

Does that seem even playable on a map this big?
How come China makes more then a Major player in Japan or even Italy?  :x
Russia wont last 4 turns  :wink:
Big help Italy will be at 10 IPC’s a turn or japan at 17.
If you go with pure historical numbers the axis WILL lose every time just like history,
Every turn in every game will be the same, Build tanks, smash into russia. :-o
When russia falls the allied players will normally conceit the game.
The US will never got going, too short of a game
1/2 hour set up + strategy time to play 4-5 rounds :x
Russia makes more then 2 of the axis countries and only 5 less then the 2 combined  :roll:
Russia actually makes less then the Original A&A and A&A revised  :?
Same goes for Japan  :?

These are your numbers from various sources, not mine.

my 2 cents
DH

Now remember when someone changes these numbers it will no longer be historical so there fore unplayable by some of the History laywers out there.

What the Hell is DW accronim

Can it be put into the same file as Big World A&A map, so I can look. Pretty please, with sugar and a cherry on top. ;)

IMP. where can I get that program

Deep Blue

Will you please repost the last edition of the map so I know we are on the same page,  :);)
Thanks

@deepblue:

DH,

Issue!  There are no current territories that have 10 IPCs.

I could create one but it most likely won’t match.

I will try a few things and let you know.  In the mean time you might want to reevaluate anything above an 8.

Also,

I have looked at your US numbers and they don’t add up. 
Are you aware that currently the US CBs add up to 23 not 15?

The original Convoy boxes add up to 18 not 22, I was wrong with 15 myself.

sigh Well then think of it like this. The 75 IPC’s also includes the trade the UK was getting from the US that’s not represented in the original game. But how is it actually represented on the board. In the spaces worth something but shouldn’t be.

Play a game on the map, even at 75 IPC’s UK can’t do a whole lot but try to hang on.  If it is lowered I wouldn’t suggest going lower then 65.
Or India is 15 IPC’s and Australia gets 18 IPCS the same way as Pacific (if I remember correctly)  and the the UK could collect what ever the total is in Europe edition. Then from those totals you have UK’s income. Do we throw in the extra IPC’s from the middle east as in Europe.

This would make sense if we planned on using the previous set up charts since they pretty much mimic AAE+AAP

Thoughts?

:(
I can’;t loojk at your map IMP. I don’t have the program
:(

UK’s income is all of her colonies around the world put together. So in Retrospect England has to control literally Half of the world to be at the same level as the US. If you look at the map they do control half of the world in total Square miles under 1 Flag.

The US achieves this total because that’s the way it was.

For England to be a playable country in this game they need a large starting income. England will find themselves short of cash real fast and out of the game.

As for Germany’s 54 IPC’s, don’t forget Italy’s additional 25. Italy is a new country to this game and they took over what used to be German Territories in past games. So GE income before I adjusted it was set at 74(Italy included) Italy also has the opportunity to make alot of cash fast if they sweep through Afrika and let the Germans Concentrate on the European and Russian fronts. Italy can realistically reach the 35-45 IPC range easily.

The allies did have a vast production rate over the Axis. The Axis start the game out Military power houses. LOTS of units.
As for the economies of Australia and India It wasn’t there per capita  but there Natural Resources that boost the UK economy. Don’t forget about all that middle Eastern Oil they control also. :)

DB- As for my total for the US, Adjust what ever territories you find appropriate to reach a US IPC level of 75 plus China’s 10 for a total of 85.

Me Two! :)

I will take a look at my figures, I may have mistyped something, From memory US has 4 CB’s correct, 2 atlantic 2 pacific
