Yea if you read through the entire forum thread Larry has said those(above) ere his possible changes. He then asks us to playtest these ideas and fill him in on what change(s) will work in making the j1 attack a choice to attack rather than the beat and strongest time to attack. I suggest reading the thread at larrys site and then you will fully understand why he is considering those choices. (though from the names I saw the people who are posting over there are the same people as from here). If you haven’t seen this thread on larrys site go now.

@Imperious:

As for Russia not being able to attack European Axis for 3 turns… I have heard this statement before, so I can only assume it is true. However I think that the USSR having to wait that long is garbage.

yea i was thinking that too
It seems ( w/o knowing all the facts) that this German gambit against UK is just like the idea of Japan attacking US/ UK on J1.

Germany uses the Soviet peace to take out UK, then swing against Russia with no UK in a position to stop them. Here we go again?

yea that is what i was thinking

I think that the Italians will be using Malta as their center for securing their empire. I have a feeling that Malta will be an important for the Italians to secure and keep the allies out of the med by placing their fleet and some airpower out of their. The the allies I imagine will need to recaptue it quickly once they make their attack on the med and north Africa. Malta will probably become a very critical point for battle in that area. That’s what I think anyways but I really don’t know till I play the game

It seems to me that Italy is going to be very hard for the allied to wrestle out of the med. If Italy can quickly build up it’s IPC value and secure Malta then the italian fleet is going to take a committed allied effort to kill all of those ships and planes that italy will station there.

Now all I need is this to be edited in the errata so my play group will accept the change.

The US has Ford. ( I’d mention GM but since they took the bailout their not as prestigious to me. Even though they do have Cadillac and the corvette. Caddy has a good performance car). Just reppen the us.

i doesn’t fit that way with AA50 too

Well it seems as that we were all wrong about who France would share the box with. I goes the us will controll France for simplicity

the french have the russian bomber

Hey, this is the best piece of informations that we have received about the game in a long time.  Larrys posts and the back of the box pic were nice nut they really didn’t give what we want, until now.  Now we can see a good quality verision of the map with no pieces blocking our view and see all of the units chosen for France and Italy. And of course how well the map pairs up with pacific. I can’t wait to see it.

refresh….refresh…refresh…

come on come on post the pictures …post the pictures  Are we there yet?

Let’s face it how can you not like a battleship. It’s always fun to shout.  Man you sunk my battleship!

I will play the united states. I like being the us. Even though they consistanly have a lot if money it is difficult to balance that spending power and move the units effiently and I like that challenge.

You quit you lose and get kicked probably a lose too

@Proud:

I dont know why but Russia. I always volunteer to play Russia (since my gamemates hate it) and I always, win or lose, enjoy it. Ive enjoyed other countries but russia is different. Maybe because when I played for the first time it was my country. Im also the best at it. Second is Uk by far.

Aren’t either winning or losing your only results in this game.

1. That one always bugged me too.
2.yea that also seemed silly to me because you would think (common sense) that the main transport fleet of a power would right next to the capitol.
3. Yea that seemed silly to me as well by my guess
would be that maybe the placement is historical in nature?
4.  Those has always bugged me even in the first game I played. They were completely out if place to attack were they would be needed.

@Panzer2C:

Miniature Market is selling AAE40 for $58.50 + $7.75 shipping = $66.25.

That is probably going to be the best price for this game, especially once you add shipping.

well you could do it like this i suppose, If ANY alllied units are in soviet territory (except to liberate)  the soviets collect no income, but even then that doesn’t work out really that well because i’m sure that it would be more worthwhile to the allies, to have the US maintain that border.  I don’t know it certainly is messy once you really start to think about it.  I need to think of something that will keep the allies out while the soviets are around.

This idea sounds good to me.  It is what I will certainly try a couple of times. It does make sense because many have said that really the balance if the game is lost because of the lack of Russian units
