Right on 13th. Give us the crooked cross of Germany and it will be your biggest seller.

Nice map Lozmoid. If you wanted you could give germany and Italy a convoy zone each.  Germany would have theirs in the baltic and Italy just south of Italy. Otherwise nice job man. Dave

The carrier allows you to add 3 naval units for the price of one. Put the 2 fighters on it and England can not afford to take out your navy.

Hang in there Jeremy your close if there done right they will be worth it. It takes guts to take on any project like this. Especially since you are at the mercy of a factory. I have learned at my job that if you can’t do everything yourself you never know what you are going to get. Me personally I like the idea of giving the community dates. If it doesn’t pan out just let me know why. I understand and appreciate the task you are undertaking. I am disappointed they didn’t make the 8th but I am glad you are keeping us abreast of the situation. I agree with you I think once this thing gets going it will move a lot faster. Behind you 100%

NOOOOOO. I was ready for some good news. Hoping they might be shipping this week I have a game in the works with my friends I am hoping to have these by then.

I know it’s not PC but who cares. Swastika for germany. Red star for russia. St.Georges cross for England.

3 days to go. FMG has to be stoked to see his hard work become a reality. I keep waiting for some news but none. I guess no news is good news.

I know Larry has tried to branch out but these battle games just don’t measure up to the Global/Europe/Pacific. I have this game and I get get my friends to play it. They would rather play the global games. We did play D-day twice and that was pretty much it.

Thought I might get more response on this one. Oh well. GoJets

That might be the rule to keep the U.S from taking one of those chinese/Japanese territories and putting a complex on it. Thus wiping Japan out. I can’t say for certain. Think about it if U.S took Manchuria with a complex on it and could start producing unit. Good night Japan. Then the balance of the game is completely wrecked and Japan has no chance.

I like it cminke. Hey Dr. Larsen I guess I need to get a life too I check this site everyday. Lets hope we don’t hear any bad news.

I had an uncle fight in WW2 and his brother fought at the battle of the bulge. My grandfather fought in WW1. Thank these guys while we can and remember to tell your children about what these guys did. Don’t let them be forgotten.

On the transport note maybe that is the answer to the issue of Sealion make them cost 8 or 9 but now they can carry 3 infantry or 1 inf and the other combo art/tank/aagun. Just a thought.

Cow I think you bring up a good point about the transports capability. If the transport only carries infantry it should be able to carry 3 instead of just 2. Heavy equipment like tanks and artillery would take up a lot of room on the transport. It only makes sense you should be able to carry 1 more infantry instead of the 2. I also think you are right about sealion. In all likely hood Germany is going to take a shot at England which makes for a predictable beginning. I am not saying Germany shouldn’t have a shot at England I just wish England had a better shot at holding it. Once again I don’t think there are any wrong answers here. From the little I have played this game and reading a lot of you guys responses I just think this game with a little more tinkering could be a lot better and less predictable

I might have mentioned this in another post but what about making movement of units more infantry 2,tanks 3,all navy 3. I think this would speed up the game dramatically. That is if that is what you are looking for.

It just seems from reading the other posts and the little I have played it. UK will go down unless Germany rolls like crap. I understand that Germany has to throw a lot of effort into it but if successful you will have about 80 dollars in your hand and then you can let the tanks roll. Plus you can use your transports for a naval invasion on Leningrad.  I am not criticizing the game I love it. I just want to make the game better. If England goes down on turn 4 every game the game becomes boring and predictable. I understand that the 1940 start was a real challenge for Larry because for the Germans there moves are almost the same game after game. Which in turn almost makes the UK make the same moves. Just a thought. There are no wrong answers.

March 8th is fast approaching. I am stoked lets hope for no more delays and the that the Italian army becomes a reality.

My older brother bought this game at Venture(of all places) He worked there in high school. They had 2 on the shelves. One day there was only 1 so he bought it. My brother and his friends had already played it once or twice before I got a crack at it. I will never forget it I played US and had absolutely no idea what I was doing. It was great we were all smoking cigars and making margaritas,drinking beer and having rum drinks. It was AWESOME. Nothing like a smoke filled room and a bunch of guys talking smack. Big Bro was Germany and he eventually ran over Russia. I lost that night but I was hooked. Oddly enough the house we played is now a Posh boutique. I am 40 years old now I was only 16 when I played this game. Every time I drive by that house I have a grin on my face thinking about that night. Heres to AXIS AND ALLIES THE GREATEST BOARDGAME OF ALL TIME.

I think England should be a tad stronger at the beginning of the game to keep Sealion from being an almost guaranteed success. Maybe make Germany,Usa and USSR weaker to accomplish this.Historically taking England was going to be a huge undertaking it should not be as easy as it is. Not to mention it is not much fun to play UK in this game. If you play against a good German player you are pretty much a punching bag.

I know you guys are talking about the balance of Alpha +2. From viewing the discussion it seems like most of you think this version is the best but still has serious flaws( England being knocked out every game.) This is my first topic I have ever posted be nice. Thanks
