I’m not sure it will be a huge blunder per-se, but it will be odd that Morocco did not just convert over to the Axis after the fall of France, but again I think that until we have some sort of a political part of the game where you might be able to influence weaker countries over to your side we really can’t just have it fall over, this is a case of gameplay vs. historical accuracy and I think gameplay goes the other way on this one unless there is some game mechanic to allow this to happen at any time. Remember we are trying to make the game less scripted and more dynamic, I think we would need a mechanic to allow this.

I think I have seen on the web somewhere where a guy will sell you rules for the original AA where they added some pretty complex things. Also have you ever heard of Third Reich (I think that is what the game is called)? That is about as hardcore as you can get. I like where the game is at, it is not complex to the point where you can still convert Risk fans to play the game yet it takes a good amount of time to master it. IDK, I think Larry has hit a good medium with the way it is, but that is my opinion.

I think he was Canadian French.

I love it, not too complex but not shallow either, just right to give you a good fun game for a couple hours.

This is getting better and better by the minute.

My hypothetical turn order: for AAP40 only! (Too much speculation right now for me to know if for once Larry is thinking about starting the pacific off first or staying traditional with Europe first)

Japan
China
UK
USA

Japan is a busybody!

That is quite a collection, I think from now on I will only get the full games that contain money and the ability to build units, that is haf the fun!

I think we do a map where everything is accurate to 1940, then after that the normal rules of the game apply. Remember there were Axis diplomats to undermine these territories and bring them under the axis wing. Until Larry adds political subversion then I think we should play the game with the rules in place. Of course if Larry makes exceptions then what the heck, lets do it!

Yeah but they were using the board and rules and all of that stuff that is under the copyright infringement rules. Making pieces that don’t look exactly like the sculpts from AA is not covered under the law. Think of universal remotes, they can run almost any TV but are not infringing because they are not made for a specific thing. Those sculpts by FMG can be used for any WWII game.

I wonder if that will be an alternate rule that we can choose to employ? That would be kinda cool to see how the two setups would work out.

Man I cannot wait to see what exactly these maps will look like and also see them together!

I had a French guy cuss me out the other day, apparently they think you are patronizing them if you don’t know their language and try to speak it.

WWI would be fun but WWII was truly a global war, WWI was mostly fought in Europe while WWII was all over the world.

lol,  :-D

Agreed, at first we might not see it but after lots of playing we know that all the games he has created are balanced but do take some thinking to get to that point.

So do you mean first strike as in the same type that an attacking sub has, where there is no casualty roll?

True that ^

I would use a local store but the only one I know of is like 45 minutes from my house. if there was something within 15 minutes I would drive there but 45 minutes is just too much gas and time for me.

I see….

You are correct Swiss. I see that now and I’m liking this game more and more……The pacific only game will have China probably being demolished but in the global I think it is a race against time for Japan, you need more than what China has to offer so you go after what you see as weak American and British forces in areas rich in resources…you need those to help the Germans with Russia, this will be a lovely game!!!

How do we give +1’s/-1’s to people? I have not seen a button to do that yet….
