Hiya Spitfire…

I just got the Roundels from them. I will be posting a vid when I get round to it on them. I painted the UK Pacific pieces in style too ( why I got the roundels ).

@John:

I don’t know what everyone else likes, but I like videos. For example, you showing everyone how to put these I 94 decals on or how you do those awesome dry brush techniques, you are always talking about, or the whole process of a painted piece, from the time you prime it to the finishing coat, including how to place the decals on.

Any of those would be cool videos! :-D

Good to know! I have never tried videos, as I don’t have the camera skills (or the camera, for that matter) to film close up like that. I have friends around who have the equipment though, so I might give it a shot.

@jwo1984:

Hey spitfire… I liked the layout of yor original painting tutorial… With stages photos befores and afters with descriptions under each photo and stage.  I would like too see some face washes you use on infantry men. And some washes you use for a variety of infantry moulds. Even a gallery too showcase some of your personal playing pieces would be cool!

I will definitely do a tutorial on washes! I’m planning on doing another in depth infantry tutorial, so that will feature the face washes you’re talking about.

Thanks Spitfire38, for your kind words and encouragement, as well. Yes, looking forward to meeting you someday as well, whether painting or playing.

Thanks buddy! :-D

Cheers!

Okay, I managed to get it working!  :-)

I installed the A&A50 1941 scenario map, no problem. Just having my first ever game as Japan against all the AI and all I can say is - I’m LOVING it!!  :-D

This is fantastic, brilliant graphics and simple interfaces. Well done to the team who made this!  And thank you.  :wink:

@Spitfire38:

Quick Alpha +3 rule question. Does the US still have the 30 IPC bonus during wartime? (for just europe, and for global) thanks!

Krieghund has answered this question for me already (I’m in the same situation).  Basically, there is no definite answer yet because they haven’t finalized the rules for global.  Once they do, they can narrow it down for pacific and europe only maps.

What I have been doing is using Alpha 3 and giving the US only 20 IPCs more to balance it out a bit.  You’ll find that the US is way too strong with 30.

Thanks…20 IPCs sounds like a good “bid”, or inverse bid/penalty I guess  :lol:

I’ll have to try that. I’ll let you know!

I am not advocating you buy 18 transports as soon as you can!  I’m saying I usually end up wtih 18 of them which I can use to train troops all the way to Egypt if I have too.

I have looked at I-94’s decals and thought about it… the only ones I have trouble with are the Russian stars. I enjoy hand painting the insignia and I feel like it makes it look more uniform when it’s all paint, but like you said, it would definitely save some time  :lol:

Well you could save some effort there as Moscow ordered upper wing stars to be painted out on the eve of the German invasion……plain green was also changed to green with a black disruptive camo pattern   http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/index.html

I didn’t know that they painted over the top-wing stars. Thanks for sharing! If I were to paint them again, I’d probably leave them on or use decals, just for easy recognition on the game board, but I like knowing what was historically accurate.

That’s a good idea. I’ll just sort of improvise and experiment!

Thanks, Spitfire38

I think its stupid as well, brings uneven balance to the game. At least the Europe game.

Thanks, that was the point I was missing :)

Like Krieg wrote.

But tanks get lonely too.

got it. thanks!

Just to be sure: go to download maps in Triple A. There’s a link to the download site in the chat on the lobby server.

The real maps are the WWII maps.

I would be surprised if Germany had Africa and then wasted those IPC’s on subs. Seems counterproductive.
