I would imagine it would slow it down.  I also think you would have to start with a full turn of “materials” in your capital to represent pervious shipping, you would also probably have to give a couple extra transports out to start, other wise the begining of the game would be slow.

Yeah, some people here just like to push the Karma buttons +1 for ya

Well, I’ll have to keep an eye out for people from here.  I generaly use dezrtfish when I’m doing anything axis and allies related…

I have several blown up maps that I never play on, I have original, world at war (zeno), Revised and a couple I modified myself.  I don’t use them I do loan them to members of my group, but I wouldn’t get rid of them.

If you own the land you can move them a set distance each turn this would be done with rail, trucks etc.

So is anyone playing at gleemax?  I tried a game today and I gota say I like it.  It reminds me of the old days at the zone.  Nothing like a pick up game with 4 others when one or two guys have no Idea what they’re doing.

I only tried a game against the AI, which was predictably easy, bu tI like the mechanics, it took most of the game to catch on to all the functions.  Over all I like it though.

Considering the price is $35 I doubt it…

I’d say it’s pretty ballenced, I could have deployed better and made a couple changes to my build, but the basic Idea for the poles is to delay as long as possible.  This is definately an interesting senario and was a fun one to play.

I’d love to see the mini, a jap soldier with a bomb between his legs holding a hamer over his head… lol

Considering they made the Goliath this isn’t much of a stretch…

Has anyone read this article at Bionic Donkeys?

I am curious what it would do to ballance.  It would obviously hurt Britain and Japan and help Russia and Germany.

I think I may try this out and see what happens…

Throwing out some +s to the mini player crowd because I’ve had my coffee and I’m not hung over so it’s a great morning… so far…

Mmmm Funions…

Great map, I will be printing one of these myself.

I case you hadn’t noticed, you have to have 100 posts to give karma, so your fake accounts beter start posting allot.  :wink:

Yeah, there were stories that Bonnie Parker carried a sawed off BAR with a stock cut to a pistol grip.  Whether it’s true or not I don’t know, but it’s an awesome picture.

Nope both are .30-06. same bullet.  BAR has a 20 round detachable box magazine.  The Garand has an 8 round clip that is inserted into the internal magazine.  I own a Garand.  Both are gas opperated, which means that the 1903 springfields that was used for snipers actualy has a bit more power than both of them.  It is also .30-06 (that’s 7.62x63mm I believe)

I applaud you for smiteing

I smite you for smiting the smite thing, I think…

Bazookas, and panzer schreks and fausts, are shape charges.  Skirts are specifically designed to defend against them.  Mot is correct an AT gun fires a high velocity solid round designed to penetrate armor, this type of round is too heavy for a hand held weapon, but it is more effective and side skirts don’t make much difference against Armor piercers.

Think of a shape charge as a headlight.  The beam is focused at a specific point.  That point is the tip of the nose cone.  The blast is focused and super heats that spot forming plasma from the armor itself making a hole and pushing through.  Side skirts create an air space and make that plasma jet less effective.  And the mesh Idea is actually more effective in this.  In fact that’s what we use on strikers today to defeat RPGs, which are modern panzer fausts.

So in short, the effect of skirts on close assault would be a bonus.  The reality is that the only defense against close assault is machineguns and infantry accompaniment.

Also btw the only real difference between a Garand and a BAR is ammo capasity and rate of fire.  BAR hold more and shoots faster.  Same bullet though.

I hope you mean scouts, because what you said is just weird…
