I really like how big sea zone 6 is and how much it covers.

@The-Captain

Exciting!

@CentralCommando

Thank you!

I’m older than you, in case you were wondering.

@Imperious-Leader

?

On my Pacific 1940 second edition map both Hainan and Formosa exist as territories.

@barnee

Dang, that’s OP.

@Imperious-Leader

I’m sorry, but now I’m really confused. My understanding is that the island of Hainan was called Hainan internationally during that time period and, alongside all other original Chinese territories in the game, was captured by Japan after 1930. The game has a territory called Formosa. I do agree with calling Manchuria Manchuko though.

@djensen

I would like that.

I hope this is an appropriate question. Who’s the youngest member of this forum?

Wait, putting “<-=” also gives us the number of hits? Nice.

As someone who’s never played North Africa (and certainly not this game), I have no idea what works or doesn’t work in this version.

I did notice some typos though.

@FranceNeedsMorePower

I know this is quite late, but I finally finished reading this.

As someone who’s never played North Africa but has read the rules, here are some thoughts:

Overall, I really like this version. The timeline makes sense and the new rules and mechanics balance historical accuracy with playability and creativity well.

If I may ask, is the “white line” the Mareth Line?

Given that Free French and Vichy French units exist at the same time, are they visually distinguished? Or is it just them not being in Tunisia, Algeria, and Morrocco?

Is adding or removing units from the supply bag just showing the differences between this game’s starting setup and the setup of the out of box version(s)?

I really like giving the German player some freedom to decide what the initial Afrika Korps should be composed of.

Also, the link here

@FranceNeedsMorePower said in Axis & Allies North Africa 1939 Variant:

Used for initial framing and regional control (e.g., French troops in Tunisia, British presence in Egypt, Italian Libya). - U.S. Army Green Books (CMH.gov): Provided logistics, supply lines, and descriptions of early Allied planning in North Africa.

doesn’t work.

@Panther

Thank you!

@KraytKing

Intriguing. I gotta say, I’ve never thought about specifically altering the momentum structure (who has the intiative) in this game, but I think it might make for a very fun game. Explaining it historically as weather works, especially on the Eastern Front.

When I try to start a new game of France Goes First on 2.5 TripleA, I get this error message:

Is there anything that can be done about this? Thank you!

@The-Captain

Finished reading the rules. I think they’re well-balanced and give nations a lot of new options, both for those who do have atomic bombes and those who don’t.

@Imperious-Leader

? Nobody’s saying Formosa should be Chinese (and it isn’t under out of box rules). barnee is asking for Hainan to be Chinese. Hainan was only conquered by the Japanese in 1937 alongside the other original Chinese territories.

@barnee Maybe you can ask The Captain to make Hainan originally Chinese in his house rules.
