Well I can patiently wait for a price to drop down.  No big deal if I don’t get the game right away as a few people I play with have been getting mad because I beat them a lot more then they beat me. (They don’t buy a lot of infantry)

@goalievogel:

Weather would overcomplicate the game. Don’t “fix” something if it isn’t broken.

Once I get the game and play for a few times. I am deffiantly going to house rule. Weather is a possibility.

I’m automatically house ruling U.S.A. Must stay in its sz and Continent(I’ll let em go to Canada) until round 4 or declaration of warm

I will add Rail if CP have less of a chance as well as possible Automatic revolution when the requirements are met and it counts as a Capital. I may also add Germany being able to buy Infantry in Africa 1 per original territory.

On turn 30  you can Use German tiger tanks to represent the superior German technology

MooseJaw Sk.

I haven’t even lived here two years. Plan on moving

Thankyou I will be on the look out.

Until its under 100 I aint buying

I live in Saskacthewan. I’m an hour away from the capital city Regina. Not much population in this area.

Shipping costs is what really gets me.

I feel that the Ottomans can do some sort of push on other side.
I don’t think they are going to go far down Africa or even all the way down to India because it is a waste of time for the time constraint the ‘allies’(centrals) have. The Ottomans I can see just Holding Africa and going for a hard hit for Russia so Austria Hungary and Germany have less to worry about on there front depending on the oTtoman effort.

Africa- side show unless Germany can make some units.

I live in Canada. So far the cheapest place that I can get it from is Amazon. And the price is 110 dollars. I’d rather pay something like 80-90 dollars.

Thanks for future help.

A longistical issue with the dice! Nope.

I got an issue with the cardboard counters.
It was and is insanely difficult to pick them
Up and count how many men/counters are
Actually there

@corporal:

another great game……one of my iraq buddies came to pittsburgh over the summer and we got a few games in. I also love playing as Germany. Sometimes i alternate between artillery rd. 1. Armor rd 2. and just push for Moscow…10 arty…8 armor…10 arty …8 armor. My stategy is to take russian territories each turn and place my 12ipc bonus at the brginning of the game down towards egypt(3 arty)

I hope not on Libya as you have to have units on the territory.
My 12 ipcs as Germany goes to a Transport and 1 art unit. The transport allows me to contest leningrad or look like I am going to attempt Sealion. Either way it is a win-win situation for me.

As Germany I have never lost however have come close. My first turn is always every single plane goes and attacks British fleets, then subs do there attacks on the u.s. And british fleets, except for Canada. As the Canadian fleet stretches my fleet out a bit too much.

Then I hammer Russia with all armour buys however I do sometimes buy subs to keep the Western Allies at bay.

What about the anzac forces in Africa can they switch boards with a transport?

They are trying to say that 3 destroyers can beat 2 cruisers on average.
Both are equivelant to 24 ipcs :) and 3 destroyers win.

Also if using Low Luck Rules 5 cruisers 60ipcs v 3 battleships 60ipcs as wellthe winner would be the battleships on average

And let’s make subs 1 attack no - 1 defense at 4 ipcs?

@Flying:

I play OOB but with no NOs except 30 to USA. USA should be a monster because that is the way it was. Anyways, it plays well IMO.

Um, I am quite sure that multiple of the NOs help the axis at the start. And with no NO’s italy is doomed to basically pass 20

Aircraft CaRriers are going to even look like a tastier buy.  Also with Cruisers at 10 they are deffiantly better buy since you raised the cheaper units.

@Cow:

you only need 2 italy tanks to can opener for germany.

I disagree. As Russia some people put 2-3 or even 5 infantry to stop can opening from a small force.
Example: I am Russia and I have 3 infantry on defense and you Cow have 2 tanks.

Let’s use ll rules
R1
2 tanks with 3 hit for a total of 6 and u get one hit
3 inf with 2 hit for a total of 6 I get one hit

1 tank v 2 inf

R2
1 tank no hits
2 inf no hits

R3
1 tank 1 hit
2 inf 1 hit

1 inf no tanks - Russia wins

As you see in my lazy example 2 tanks alone can’t canopen

Not to ruin your parade, however it has been discussed.

I feel Italy should be the one to decide when it ‘joins’ as it losing all or most of its navy at the start is unfair to such as a small IPC nation.

If you house rule this, the UK I beleieve will be at a slight disadvantag in the med and have an advantage in Sealion.

@Young:

That book could include the rules for every edition printed, and a special 25 page atlas for Global 1940.

Don’t forget simple side tips for every board game

@suprise:

No post yet, doing a global with Gen. Dicenhower and 4 others, maybe later

I gotta wait :(

I really wanna know what two infantry in Southern Italy will do.
