@Cmdr:

He said final revisions on 2 November 2011.  That’s tomorrow, so we’ll probably have a “final” set of rules and the new games will probably ship with them.

@Dave:

Larry,

Do you have a pencils down due date with Wizards yet?  I’m just curious.

Thank you

Response by Larry:  Yes I do…  Folks it’s November 2nd.

Oh, I can just about see your blood pressure rising even from way down here in San Antonio when those dice results came back the last few rounds as Russia…… :-)

Turn to come later tonight hopefully.

@Tall:

GSH,

By the way,…WHAT PART OF TEXAS ARE YOU LOCATED IN?  I’m in the Longview, TX area in NorthEast Texas.  If you’re close enough maybe we could get together for a War of our own.  
I usually go over to Shreveport, LA where I’m from and my family still lives to get some A&A “action”.

“Tall Paul”

San Antonio….deep in the heart of Texas!  My wife is in a dental residency program and we have another tike coming within the next month.  So, I will have to take a pass on playing up there by you.  However, if you get into my neck of the woods let me know.  Maybe I could squeeze something in.

Tall Paul,

I did not mean to say “ridiculous” as an insult.  I actually meant it as a positive….like people who use a negative term for something positive. (Think skaters…“That move was sick!!!)  For what it is worth, I think it is great a map of that size is practical for you. For some sea zones and territories I wish my map was larger too.  At some point though, I had to bring into consideration how much room it would take up on my wall and the cost factor.  At an appreciably larger size than 84” x 38", my map would’ve been relegated to the garage, which, with no air conditioning and being in Texas, would be a detriment to comfortable play for a large part of the year.

Also, I salute you and your dad for playing.  That is cool to be able to play with him. 8-) 8-) 8-)  It definitely makes what you have done with your map worth it.

@Tall:

And I couldn’t agree more that a LARGER MAP definately makes a BIG difference,…pun intended.  I had mine enlarged 150 % to 48" x 108" by a proffessional digital sign company.

“Tall Paul”

Cripes!!!  I thought mine was “big” at 84" x 38.5".  Yours boarders on flat out ridiculous!!!  My map was too dang expensive at my size anyways.  I shudder to think what the cost of your size was.

@salan:

wow, this is exactly what my wife and myself were talking about doing……

Your wife??  Who the heck plays this game with their wife? :-D  (sorry Jen, you are clearly the anomaly around here).  My wife pokes fun at me for playing this.

I have to honest here, you actually maxed out the complex in France with damage.  You rolled 5 but under the current system, damage is 1d6+2 for strategic bombers.  I’ll update this on my map.
