@stroutqb22:

What do you think about this? I’ve never ever heard of reserch being done that way, but I’ve never really thought about it, I guess it makes sense… a little

I actually like this a lot. Even if you only buy one die… you’ll most likely get a tech by turn 6. It makes tech worth it.

@Young:

The split is less confusing because they are different coloured units with their own nation and turn sequence, so it’s the same as ANZAC infantry in Egypt with UK pieces.

Lol. I do own physical copies of each game but you can tell how often I’ve played them :)

Most to least difficult:

For new players:

1: Japan
2: Germany
3: UK
4: Italy
5: Russia
6: USA
7: ANZAC

For somewhat experienced players, or at least how I feel about it:

1: USA
2: UK
3: ANZAC
4: Russia
5: Germany
6: Japan
7: Italy

China is just an extension of the unified allied resistance in the Pacific.

Let’s see how popular the game becomes….  we are currently making our second run of our current dice (with new factory)

I can, but it’s not cheap.  Email me at cadamwoodard@aol.com

@knp7765:

@kcdzim:

And Allied units that enter original USSR territories should be “interned” - removed from the board with infantry (and infantry only) showing up back in their home capitals a couple rounds later in equal numbers to the units interned   :wink:

In the original Europe game, they had a rule if UK or US planes landed in a Soviet territory with an IC, on the Russian Mobilize Units phase, they could be turned into Russian planes.

I always wondered about something like this.  Considering the equipment lend lease that USA had with USSR I would of thought “gifting” units to Russia should be acheived in someway.  Of course who knows what that would do to balance.  I guess the the Archangel NO is their to represent the Lend-lease activities.

I think I might make a few for my table.  They seem pretty easy to make, and I will detail the process for any interested.

I thought about having a “war shovel” or even a flat/ramp side to the rakes to help scoop/carry units from combat zones to the combat resolution area of the board.  It wouldn’t always be useful for the crowded europe territorites but if designed well could be handy.

Agreed Loz.
I have never bought a game intending to sell for profit.
Has always been for my entertainment.

They can probably make a bigger profit out of us Brits.

I know this isn’t a war game, but I was just wondering what other people think about the game Landslide. I love it and it still involves a lot of strategy and diplomacy. Have any of you played it and what do you think of it?
