Hello there, I’m Nuts, for general Anthony Mcaullife’s famous words when asked to surrender In the battle of Bastogne. I play G40 and used to frequently play anniversary.

I would like to know if anyone has successfully miniaturized the game into an accessible size to be portable for a long vehicle ride. I’m thinking of simply magnetizing d-day, but does anyone have other ideas?

My idea for Vichy is that after Germany takes France, the Axis( or Italian in bigger games) player places three French infantry in actual France, and southern France becomes the capital of a Vichy France. The Sub Saharan infantry becomes British, and so does the cruiser in the English channel as well as French units in England. The French cruiser and destroyer in the Mediterranean start in the sea zone above Algeria. Vichy has 10 ipcs per turn. This hasn’t been playtested, so may need to be tweaked. As I am a student, I cannot check this idea out until Thanksgiving break.

@Glamorboy Welcome from a fellow newer member. Enjoy yourself.

@barnee Thanks! I’ll try out triplea soon.

@Viracocha @Panther welcome back, seconded.

@SuperbattleshipYamato you’re right, but it is mostly for physical boards, like you said. I still have almost no idea how to use or install triplea, though. It also gives an extra player.

@SeaYa I might do that physical option. It’s a split nine to ten hour with two stops, one down and one back. That would work pretty well, if a bit different.

@SuperbattleshipYamato no problem. I decided to make them axis due to the small historical precedent that the Vichy government fought Britain when the brits bombed the Vichy fleet in Casablanca at the beginning of torch.

@SuperbattleshipYamato they are an axis power, similar in strength to Italy, though still the weakest. The destroyer off Madagascar is Vichy.

@SuperbattleshipYamato sad but true. If renegade sponsored an official tournament, however, we could host a set of prelims at game conventions around the world, leading to continental tournaments, leading up to a championship game. This is different to chess, however, where they have multiple tournaments.
