Next Insallment

Russia=45 IPC’s +1

Graphic changes
None your totals are already correct, 41 land,4sea

Next Insallmant

United States= 75 IPC’s + China’s 10

Graphic Changes-
Need to add 10 IPC’s

My Suggestions

The rest of their Territories stay the same.

60 IPC,s from land, 15 from convoy’s

My first Installment

China=10 IPC’s
No graphic changes needed

New IPC producing territory-
ChungKing=1IPC

Set Up
2 inf in following-, Chungking, inner mongolia, Shensi, Hunan, Yunnan,
3inf. in, Kwangtung, Kwangsi, Tsinghai
4inf in- Szechwan

1fighter in Chungking

I like the debate also, This map has been under construction for 9 months.  It seems to me the the enthusiasm is just not there as it was 7 months ago or even 4 months ago.
All I am saying is people are losing interest and that is why less input is being put in to it. Most folks are sitting on the sideline waiting and not helping.

By the end of this week the 15th of june 07 i will post a detailed IPC Count and distribution list. Then we will see where it goes.
Till friday, or sooner. :-o :-D

Bump post.    :evil:

I really need to pick up Photo shop. This seems to be dead in the water because it is taking way to long to produce, there fore people are losing interest.
I have also noticed that when we, the people, submit Ideas to this project, if the person creating the map at present, doesn’t like the Idea, it gets ignored. Don’t get me wrong I appreciate his time, but sometimes I feel it is not in the best interest of the group and the game.

I have Big plans for this map and have invested heavily into WaS and AAM mini’s for use as playing pieces on a 4x8 version of this map.
The possibilities are endless here.
So please use every one’s 2 cents for what it’s worth, and if it is a worth while idea, use it. Just cause you don’t like it or agree with it does not make it wrong or bad.

Thank You.

@CraigBee:

Oh, and for the love of all that is good, please relocate Paris so Imperious Leader can focus on the game and not small yellow Paris graphic ;)

I could not have said it better myself  :roll:

It’s been since October 1st since this project started, We should have been done at least 2 months ago. We as a group keep going off topic with mundane Priorities(yellowdots) and new rules(oil). I think we should focus on the task on hand, which is the IPC’s. thats the last step in producing a piece of quality work. Lets get it done and start rolloing dice.  :lol:  :-P  :evil:

AARHE rules are there for Paratroopers. Everything has alrerady been addressed including transports, combat and noncombat moves, IPC cost, and every thing in between. Check it out and I’m sure you’ll like em, I do.  :evil:

Most of the changes they have made so far are cosmetic changes, and therefore No big deal. Some territories may now find them selves 1-2 IPC’s lower or Higher to achieve the already established totals

I’m sure when this map is finished and printed on my table, I will still take a Sharpie or other majik marker and adjust the map to my liking.

@TG:

They’re not a special unit, just regular infantry with a free ride. :)

They are a specialized fighting force trained to be dropped behind enemy lines. The typical paratrooper combat load varies quite a bit from the normal 11 bravo Inf

I have play tested on the original map extensively and I have found that Positronica’s Total IPC production for each country at the begining was very good and balanced.

USA 85 IPC
UK 75 IPC
USSR 44 IPC
Total=204 IPC

Germany 50 IPC
Italy 24 IPC
Japan 40 IPC
total= 114 IPC’s

Since most of the territories fought over in the first few turns belong to UK, they will be down to around 50-60 IPC’s quickly
UK also has to build for Australia, India and the home Islands, so your UK starting Income is way Low at 51. If you start them at that, UK will be making 30 IPC’s by turn 3. To little too fast.

my 2 cents

If Germany loses because of a Amphibious landing that german player stinks

It’s kinda neat, 8-) still figuring everything out though.

Yes U-boats for 5 bucks, Muh Ha hah :evil:

There has to be other people out there? :roll:

Not a fan Of berlin circle either. So Now Is Germany going to get 3 factories because they can no longer build ships out of Berlin space.

@Imperious:

If so I have created an icon to represent this on our map.  (See attached)

Let me know if you want to see this rule and what territories should be consider for Oil territories.

Oil centers at:
Polesti ( romania)
Mosul ( Iraq)
Cacasus–Grozny
Georga-- Baku
Hungary (possible) it was secondary source for hitlers oil
Dutch east Indies,Sumatra, Borneo, Java… if thats too many then remove borneo
Venezuela

What about Texas?

@CraigBee:

Excellent map.  I can’t wait to print and beta test it.

I think it would be prefered to keep SZ 9 in one piece instead of splitting, as in v9 of the map.  Adding the sea zone will make naval maneuvers for German very difficult.  Is it so bad that London and Berlin can start bomb each other?  Isn’t that what happened?

Also, I agree with changing San Franciso to San Deigo.  While only cosmetic, San Diego was the more prominant naval port.

Craig

Yes they bombed each other but not Berlin to London or visa versa until later in the war. Yes they bombed the hell out of the Rhineland but not so much Berlin itself. Also we have a little thing called Paratroopers and straight dropping into London from Berlin sounds fun, not very realistic. They have a port in Berlin, so France or northern Norway is only a NC move away.

San Diego is the best Place for The NB

Not sure if this has been covered yet.(2 lazy to back read it all).
Are these the Final IPC rates? current land Values? I counted each several times.

Axis 110 IPC’s
Germany 46
Italy  24
Japan 40

Allies 208 IPC’s
US 74
China 10
Britain 81
Russia 43

Neutrals 18
Should the Allies have twice as much? They should have more but double?

If the Axis powers all out, I mean attack every conceivable bordering and likely sea invasion, it on the first turn they could gain a Max net gain of 46 IPC’s. This not taking into consideration the number of Troops needed to actually need to take each territory.

Japan should make more then Russia.  :evil:

You should complete a sea zone circle around Gibralter. As it is now you can invade Rome by sea from the canary’s islands. The circle should allow the zone to the right, the ability to touch Morocco and N. Algeria.

Airbase in London. Why? I know they had them. For what they do the Benifit is to good in that situation. Please take it off IMO.

Any way nice overall. It’s nice not seeing GE in Russia face yet. Keep up the good work.

THe map needs another sea zone dividing line in the Baltic. As it stands now You can industrialy raid london and Berlin Respectively form each other.  In other words they are to close via air and sea through the baltic.  just my 2 cents

I use block Houses, and here is how.  Quite simple actually
Block Houses Are 5 Ipc each, Can only be built in a territory that has a coastline. Max Number of block houses is equal to IPC value or 1 which ever is greater. ie. Phillipines can have 3 of them, or midway can have 1.  They boost the defense of up to 2 Inf to a 3.  If there are no tanks or shore bombardment attacking the fortifications the Inf defend on a 4.  This lasts until the fight is over, or the Inf are taken as casualties.  If germany has Atantik Wall NA, Inf defend on a 4 reguardless of what attacks them, this is the same for Island defenders also. :evil:

I have also tooled around the idea of using the block houses as Pill box complexes. Same rules apply as above except they Only boost 2 Inf. to a 3 defensive roll. No 4’s, again this bonus lasts until the fight is over or the Inf. Occupying the Bunker are removed as a casualty.  Again the max number of Pill boxes per territory is the IPC Value.  You do not have to be boardering a coastline.

As for Para troopers there have been rules made on this forum concerning them and how they are used. Not sure were they put it though.  Ask Imp Leader    :mrgreen:
