@Gargantua:

I think they came from either the original Pacific or Guadalcana

What failed miserably however, was the advent of movement counters that were supposed to follow your aircraft pieces.  What a waste of time and resources.  In 500 games I’ve never seen them used.

I always use them to mark how many movement points are left on my air move after combat.

Why?  Does it “Really” help you?  Tell me this, what happens if you don’t use those pieces?

I will tell you Gar. I somtimes have a senior movement when a lot of planes come from different territories and I forget which plane has what movement left. I do use some homemade markers now and then.

Japan in my thoughts remains a little weak despite European axis… these images seem to confirm my impressions… and reading the incomes i have a proof of what i been saying in the Larry’s forum…

Japan
When Japan is NOT at War
1.Collect 10 IPCs each turn that Japan is not at war with the United States and has not invaded French Indo-China or made an unprovoked declaration of war against United Kingdom/ANZAC.

If UK or ANZAC attack Japan, with an unprovoked DOW, Japan still collect 10 IPC?

@knp7765:

Jeremy said the mould will be finished Jan 5.  Injections will begin shortly after and once the pieces are made, all the pre-orders will be air mailed to FMG and then shipped to us.  I am guessing it will probably be late January or early February.

Thanks!

@Admiral:

Lovely!

Thanks for these.

Thank you for feedback, guys! :-)

@Stickman:

Any word on the pre-order shipment of the Italian units? I noticed that the Italian Army is IN STOCK, just wondering if we can expect shipment prior to the holiday rush, or are we stuck with waiting until after the New Years?

They are not in stock.  The PRE-ORDER is “in stock” so you can place an order.

When the items will be ready to shipping? I’m saying about the PRE-ORDER items.

@Razor:

I think it dont look like a sunk convoy, it looks more like a factory is burning, man.

What do you think about my new convoys?

@calvinhobbesliker:

They look nice, but how exactly are they used?

To remember a sunk convoy from enemy warships. Sometimes we made errors in calculating the correct amount of IPC.

You place it in the sea zone containing the convoy image under the enemy ship (submarine, destroyer, cruiser… et cetera) or near to it.

Hi guys i made some sunk convoy markers to use for both Europe and Pacific. What do you think?

Hi,

can you explain your way to paint? Did you use a primer (spray or brush?) after washing them with soap?

I buy some Vallejo acrilic (water based) colors… what do you think?

I use Vallejo paints myself first spraying them with a black primer (airbrush). You can find much more detailed descriptions of my processes if you scan through this (huge) thread.

I know it’s an insane jumble of

Just a question… what kind of green did you use for Chinese?

@Krieghund:

The fighter is defending in the air, so it will not be trapped.  In fact, it will not be able to land and must find another landing spot within one space or be lost.

The only way that a plane can be trapped on a carrier is if the carrier is attacking and the plane belongs to an ally.  Since it is not the ally’s turn, the plane remains on the carrier as cargo during the attack, and will be trapped if the carrier is damaged.  In such a case, if the carrier is attacked while still damaged, the trapped plane will be unable to leave the ship, and thus unable to participate in the battle.  It will be lost if the carrier is sunk.

So the fighter must land somewhere or it will be lost?

cough ITALYcough

:?  Italy isn’t in Eastern Europe

Hey… i’m living in Rome, where they are? :-D

I thought it’s a joke. ;-)

Sculptor is NOT in Italy.  Italy is NOT in Eastern Europe.

I have one doubt about the carrier:

a german submarine  attack a carrier (UK) loaded with a fighter (UK).

the sub scores @2 with an “open fire” and the carrier scores @2, the carrier is crippled and enemy sub sunk.

The UK fighter is trapped on board and is like a cargo? If yes, when attacked by a surface ship (an italian cruiser for example), the fighter on the carrier can’t take off from it and the only the carrier can fire on Italian cruiser. Correct?

@Lozmoid:

This is why I asked if the picture reprsented three seperate photographs merged together. Because if the sizes are in direct proportion to one another, then I would definitely say that the Tank needs to be bigger.

They will all be the same size.  WOTC pcs are NOT to scale.  Look at the Infantry vs the Tank, or the Bomber.

I always hated the “dinky” little trucks from AABOTB  or the Halftracks from AA40 Series.

The other tank piece is a Panzer III ?

@Slacker:

I made a version of the National Objectives charts that I’ll be trying out tonight with a Global game. Check it out here:

http://www.slackercentral.com/download/1940_national_objective_sheets_v5+alpha.pdf

Use infantry to mark what’s done. The first three pages are for the Global Alpha+.1 set up. I made the third page first (29 objectives crammed on one sheet), then decided it looked a little crowded so I split the info up on to two sheets: one for Axis powers and one for Allies (the first two pages in the file). I slapped on the new rules at the bottom to help make things clear.

The other pages are for the OOB setup and the original 1940 games. Let me know if you see any typos or incorrect information anywhere.

Great work! I will merge the old work with this one. ^_^

A nice suggestion. Can you mod the roundesl and make them more transparent?? So it’s easier to see the difference between real roundels and objectives not yet accomplished.

Very well! Keep the good workin’!

@Krieghund:

There was a mix-up in the wording of that rule.  It should read:

Submarines no longer fire a special “sneak attack” shot at unescorted transports.  Transports are not allowed to unload land units for an amphibious assault in a sea zone containing any enemy subs unless at least one friendly warship was also present in the sea zone at the end of the Combat Move phase.

Examples:

1. one transport can’t unloading troops if in a SZ there is a sub.

2. one transport with one cruiser can unloading troops if in a SZ there is a sub. But Battle don’t occurs. Right?

3. one transport with one destroyer can unloading troops if in a SZ there is a sub. But they fight a naval battle? Still right?

@jeffdestroyer:

Akagi

Ok, this link should show the rest.

What kind of color did you use to paint the bridge of Akagi? It’s seems sand yellow… or ocra?
