I like to leave Normandy completely untaken if I can. Makes it that much harder for the Americans and Brits to get a real foothold in Europe.  I’ll only take it if I’m reasonably certain I can stop Allied landings before they happen.

Due to that they cannot use shore bombardment? Or is there more reasons to why it makes it harder for allies to get the foothold with Normandy still Frensh?

If Normandy is still French, the Allies can not use the IC to build up in Europe. So if the Allies want to reinforce their beach head, they have to transport them over.

Ahh true! We are running house rule that permits destruction of IC´s so the Normandy IC usually always gets blown to pieces! :)

Nice table! Really like the NO cards! We have a problem that people tend to forget what NO�s they have so we need some kind of reminder, maybe this is solution! Is there any chance you could share the file for the cards so that i save some time typing them? :)

I no longer have the file for the cards in the video, but I am currently working on one and it should be ready in a week or two. I’ll be sure to notify you when they’re done.

Woho! That would be awsome! I still havn´t decided if the best way is to display all NO´s on a board and use markers to show if they are achieved or not, or use separate cards! The cards make it easy when you count IPC but harder to quickly get information on what NO´s are left to take and how! It´s as important to know how to ruin your enemies NO´s as to know how to get yours! :)

@Young:

Japan attacking the Pacific Allies early is better for the Axis if done right.

But JP not attacking UK and draw US into the war gives JP +10 NO and US -25 NO, for two turns that is 70 IPC difference compared to attacking UK/US J1?

Thanks!

Is there any reason why UK should not declare war against JP during turn 1? They only get their NO when at war!

@wittmann:

I don’t attack the territories that border Mongolia, but try to go as far West as possible. ElimInating China goes a long way in helping the EuroAxis and ensures Japan had income, even if it does not hold all 4 DEI islands.

It helps Euro Axis by becoming a real eastern threat to Russia i suppose? When u go all in China, do you still build fleet at Japan to level against US build up?

@wittmann:

That is how I play. I like to overrun China, even if the Pacific Allies get rich. I keep the US out as long as possible.
You can soon take that income of them. Japan is far too strong,With all those planes.

Nice, do you go all in to exterminate China or leave the three areas bordering Russia as a shield?

@wittmann:

Cannot fly over a Neutral or land on it, so cannot help defend against a Sealion. Sorry I was unclear.

True! Tanks for the help! :)

So by goin all in China with JP and not attacking allies you can isolate US to US territories until turn 3?

@wittmann:

Hi Discoknect. No they cannot. Need to be Allied with the UK, which they cannot be until at war.

Hi!

Is that “no” as in they cant fly over?

I see the restrictions for naval units in the rules but not air units!

Hi!

I just need a clarification :)

If Japan doesnt attack any allies during J1/2 and Germany doesnt attack US = US still neutral, may US still fly air into for example United Kingdom during US1/2?

If above is ok and Germany then attacks London in G2, what happends with the US air units in the fight?

@Rand:

Well worth the wait for the pictures… Like the Vichy French symbol for the North African and Syrian Territories. Noticed the enlarged 110 Sea Zone and the addition of the Azores Islands. Nice touches.

Vichy and Azores are IL credit :) Enlarged SZ 110 is my contribution! :) Actually the whole of Europe is changed but hard to see if you dont have the new and old map next to eachother! If its ok with IL i can upload map-images for more detail!

@Young:

Awesome table DiscoKnekt, and your custom map looks amazing, definitely one of the best tables I’ve seen so far, I love when I see people take the time to customize built in piece trays, good work. I noticed that you have many different factories or houses in the setup. are you using some kind of production house rules? Can you tell us more about some of the customized features in the photos?

Thanks! :) Searched alot for premade piece trays but couldnt find any in the right sizes som ended up folding my own out of paper board, took some time but works great!

We use red and blue houses to indicate VC, blue if its controlled by allies and red if axis. Makes it alot easier to count VC standings (we play 3-4 times/year so we forget :) )

For facotries we use IC pieces from old A&A games that we have, not sure which ones now but we had two different types so we made them small and large IC! :)

Not showing it this picture but we now also use coloured markes under the large IC´s to display IC improvements (adapted from World at war game).

We have a new game weekend in a month, i will take an updated picture then, also where you can see the dice and battle-chart barley visible in the background of this image!

@Imperious:

That’s IL’s map, i added Azores

I made Pacific Too.

So sorry if i have “stolen” any map, i cant remember now but found them somewhere on the internet! :) 99% of the credit shall go to IL for making the map, I have just made some minor adjustments and resized some zones that are small and usually containes a lot of units! :)

And here is a closer look at modified Europe!

Sorry, copied wrong link! :) This one should work!

The map is actually modifyed even more, especially in Europe! Some areas made bigger, for example SZ 110, UK, Gibraltar, Germany etc. Makes the world a bit strange but tha game more easy to play! :)

Ohhh, to bad! :( Does it help just posting the link?

We need a bigger table! :)

Thanks Panther, 100% clear now! :)
