@boboshonda:

Has anyone else noticed that on their boards the shade of blue in the ocean is different on the section that includes South Africa?  The other three boards are all the same shade.  It’s not a big deal, but it does drive me a bit crazy.  I have two set’s, and this is a problem on both of them.

Yes, it’s that way on mine too.  But if you scrutinize the water all over all the boards, there are a lot of different shades, and some of them appear intentional.  What bugs me is how the US doesn’t line up with itself.  Sometimes I like to set up the boards so that the US is all intact, so it’s easier to see the action there.  The break between Europe and Pacific seems to be a good place to have on the edges, as an alternative.  But the USA is nowhere near lining up on the side of the board.  :x

I see there are only 2 seazones between West Africa and South America still……  Kinda weird, considering there are 5 zones between Sumatra and Africa, but whatever…

Bump - Added Italian Set

Thanks for sharing the info on the Bob Semple tank, that was a fun little piece of trivia to learn about!  I guess it was an attempt to beat plowshares into swords… :-D

Sounds like they’d have been better off trying to convert some kind of car or light truck into an armored car, though, as tractors just aren’t geared right to make into tanks…

As to the Brits & ANZACs and their Matilda’s: I guess it’s kind of nice to get them a different model for variety/ visual appeal, but the fact remains that the Matilda is really a decisive step down in quality vs. the Sherman… and the Brits actually used more Shermans than any other tank.  I’d have been much happier if they’d chosen the Cromwell; it was at least not outclassed by the Sherman (not to mention nearly every German tank…)

Well at least its not Geographically challenged cerebrum like Africa

Thank you Paul. These all look very cool. Looks like I have a few options.

Jon

Maybe we could make some infantry pieces that would hold those gun pieces.

@reloader-1:

7.50 IF you find a copy - trust me, I went to 5 different ones!

Thanks you just saved me a trip.

Good find, reloader-1.

Well at least FMG is almost done with their Italian pieces.

terrific, couldnt have said it better myself

Hello. And Bye.

You sir, encapsulate the spirit of the game!  I can’t say that I’d do the same… (I went so far as to slap some paint and decals on my minis), but at the end of the day - I’m with ya.  I did apply clear tape to my AAA50 box though - kinda laminated in a cheap way, but it travels with me on occasion (over the Atlantic in a suitcase).

You call others “die hard” players?  Perhaps, but in my book you’re the step up, the “hardcore” player!

just picked up another copy at Target.  they had them on clearance at 50% off, or $15 each.

Use the old Red Japanese A&AP Infantry for that - or potentially the old Yellow Japanese Infantry from A&A 2nd Edition.

Sounds like a good idea - care to post the full rule?

@calvinhobbesliker:

Why can’t Russia buy inf round 1? Do they already have 20 inf? Why is China neutral when it was the first allied nation at war?

Russia starts with all twenty infantry on the board.  This is actually less than they start with in MB’s 2nd edition.

As for China, it was neutral but pro U.S. - a mechanic which was dropped from A&A.  I can’t say why, you’d have to ask Larry.

what are you guys talking about in mine they’re pink.

(jk they’re Black)

It is a really dark blue, almost black.
