TinTin and Snowy…I wonder how many German ankles that dog mauled  :-D

TinTin contributed a lot to the Allied war effort…

They’ll probably put a German transport in the Mediterranean at the start for balance purposes.

It kind of is if you think about it. If Japan hits Russia then it will slow down its expansion in the Pacific, meaning that it won’t get it’s NOs and the USA will roll right over Japan.

Historically they tried to have around 80 airplanes in Malta.  Initially these were the outdated Glostor Gladiator biplanes (and at the start of the war they only had 5!) But they kept shipping airplanes to Malta via Aircraft Carrier until they had around 80. These include Spitfire Vs, Hurricane IIs as well as some single engined ground attack planes as well as some Bristol Beaufighters and even a squadron of De Havilland Mosquitoes in late 1942.

If I ever have enough people play a full game then instead of having everyone play as one power we make our decisions based as a collective.

Sicily should be worth 1 to make it worth attacking
also Ottawa is totally in the wrong place  :mrgreen:

Sonar is already represented via DD advantages vs subs in the rulebook.

I’m sure Eastern Canada will have an airbase as well.  However it remains to be seen how Canada is divided.  Maybe Newfoundland will be a separate territory with a naval base, same with a tt like Nova Scotia or the entire maritime region as a whole.

I can see a UK/France Box that will be kept separate from the UK Pacific box

as an italian-canadian u can put my name on that list sarge

lots of oil in alaska

got mine from a local hobby store this afternoon cost 90 Cdn +tax
set it up and looks beautiful!
ps…love the new bigger naval units

I’m sure there will be some kind of rule in Europe which will state that Germany and Russia are automatically at war at round 2/3 to make sure that Germany can’t crush the UK like a ant (which I’m sure it would be able to)

the store where i live in canada has 3 copies…but refuse to sell it to me until tomorrow!  :?

Perhaps they’ll put several convoys off the UK coast, off the Canadian coast, the USA coast, the North African coast as well as off of Greenland and Iceland.  Who knows maybe the Atlantic wont be huge (although I’m hoping it takes 2 moves for fighters to make it to the UK).  I’m hoping there will be convoys against the Italians/Germans in the Mediterranean, or something to give the inevitably placed fighter at Malta to do.

no point in having the old french tank in the game b/c itll only be in use for 1 or 2 turns at the most. better to use the sherman cause thats what the free french used in the normandy campaign

excuse me…japanese waters*

aaaahhh how did u let such an important fleet go so far into japanese territory undefended!?!?!?

I honestly dunno if u can say there arent enough tac bombers. From the picture on twitter i saw some territories with 2 tac bombers. Use chips for crying out loud.
