Control of the island doesn’t change if it’s a tie.

I would have bought that if I had known about it.

Thanks again

I mainly made these because I need  larger things to see and especially reminders what the national bonuses are for objectives. We always have a new player joining and he does not quite remember what is required to get the bonus.

On the battle board I added information about surprise attacks and anti aircraft as people forget to roll these first, Kamikaze information, and how to do strategic bombing runs.

How nice. They look very straightforwardly, I guess they are great help to make the game run more streamlined.

Yes it was the first thing I printed up to use looking for game aids.

They look really cool.

Everyone kept losing one or dropping them on the floor.
(I dont know how many times someone has picked up their box with the lid on and the bottom tray falls out and spilled the contents all over the place. I even have one friend that keeps finding a Japanese infantry months after we played at his house. :roll:)

We have set up a small separate table to keep our IPC chart away from the game board and for us the larger objectives with token markers sit out on either side of the IPC chart or can be placed next to the actual player needing to keeptrack of their stuff.

I guess this style just meets our individual needs.

@CWO:

In Anniversary and in Europe 1940 1st edition, the Italian equipment pieces are a darker shade of brown than the Italian infantry pieces.  In Europe 1940 2nd edition, the equipment pieces are lighter and match the shade of the Italian troops.

I agree

@theROCmonster:

Honestly I think if anything the allies are advantaged in this one. US is just so powerful. Russia will always fall no matter what the allies do, but it then becomes a struggle for the axis to take Egypt. Normally a game will come down to the US having factories in finland/Norway, and possibly southern france and Normandy. While Germany has a ton of money, and Italy is making under 10 because of convoy raids. Germany has a ton of money that it tries to use to in both defense against a monstrous US, and a pretty powerful UK, while also trying to take Egypt. As long as allied players don’t freak out when Moscow falls then they have a good shot at victory.

The allies have to play very smart, and not rush into things if they are to keep germany from getting the final VC.

the AI is really just a novelty used for learning how to use the triplea controls and user interface, and for practicing a map for the first time ever

playing other people is what the game is about

i have no plans to do any work on the AI at all

there is only an indirect link.
a 1 (or 0) ipc terr cant get a factory, and thus cant produce anything
a 2 ipc terr cant get a major factory, an is thus limited to 3 units produced
a 3 or more terr can build a major IC an is limited to 10 units produced (this is only a limitation for eastern and central USA with production of 12 and 20  ipcs)

okay thanks….I noticed it said I rolled a 3 and did 3 damage not 1+2. Thanks for the quick response.

That’s what I thought too, Garg.  Only Cow knows for sure  :lol:

Shakespeare: there are six: SZ 6,17, 19, 20, 22 and 35.

okay thanks.

Welcome, Sir_Cala!

You are correct.
