@Gorshak:

Here is a list of the production values during the course of the war of the main nations:

Very interesting!

$90.00 unless you preorder it I believe.

I would hope that you can build them.
The U.S. built air bases as they Island hopped towards Japan.
A Naval base would take longer but still feasable.
I guess you could wait a turn or two depending on which one you built.

Yes, I believe that to be correct, they will have countries that will be gobbled up by the Japanese and then liberated by ANZAC if all goes well.

Invaded Russia too early and in the wrong month.
he got sidetracked trying to take Stalingrad etc.
Coulda woulda but yes, he could of taken Russia.
Germany could of taken Britain too, if Hitler let his Generals run the war.
Good thing for Hiltler’s blunders.

What was Russia doing while you were building a fleet, defending?

Since the Dutch lost their Country in Europe, they fled to England and the U.S.
They still fought with the help of the U.S. and Britain. They still had a small navy and fought with the Australians, Brits, Indians, and Americans around the Dutch East Indies and even had a base around Antilles in the Carribean I believe.
Even though they had no income, they still fought.
I also believe that they had tanks ordered and to be delivered to the East Indies and on route Japanese invaded the Dutch East Indies so the tanks were re-routed to Australia.

yes. but historically, the Graf Zepplin was only to carry about 50 Aircraft. 1/2 what American carriers were carrying which was 90-100 aircraft.
So, I think you should only be able to carry one fighter on the German carrier.
Of course other nations like Britain did not have the capacity either.

I have seen the Dutch Roundel on the map so I belive they are in.

I can paint, but do not have the time, I will have to pay!  :cry:

I am working on the Axis Minors, Toldi tanks, T-26, PZ-38t
I have Dutch ships, Candadian, Australian, as well as France.
It is growing! I am also adding Light tanks to each country so that i will have them as the game progresses.

I would buy “Panzerschiffe” 1/2400 which are smaller than AA Min’s but larger than AAA from the box.
You can get destroyer for $1.50 , cruisers for $3.00 and BB for $5.00
Then paint them what you want.
This is the way I am going.

I am getting ready to print out your map 47" X 94"
I also have a 48" X 96" piece of plexiglass to lay over it.
I have nearly collected the pieces and now starting to paint.
I am using 1/285 armor and 1/2400 ships and 1/72 infantry
AAA subs and artillery

Very Nice!!!

has anyone played this through with the AA50 map?
How did it work?

I am going to try this map with country roundels.

I looked at your rules, I thought they were good. I have only one problem and it is with Canada, they produced a ton of goods and shipped lots of equipment to many parts of the world, aircraft, tanks, destroyer escorts, men, .
Canada should be producing more than Australia, India, South Africa.
I would like to see the Commonwealth fixed in AAA games.

Has anybody played around with having the UK split up and have seperate entities like India, Canada, etc.
I tried it, Canada was no problem but Australia with an income of 4 hurt. I thought about adding India, Borneo income so they have more to put in the far east.
Any ideas?
