My bad! I was thinking about the Utah. It’s still there! I got to swim on the side of Ford island.

The USS Oklahoma is still sticking out of the water on the northwest side of Ford island!!  Well it was in 97

No you didn’t just quote Kenny Rogers!  LOL , WOW!!!

HBG and FMG are going to be your best bet! We are also developing more games so be on the lookout! We are playtesting Invasion of Italy game and Battle of Okinawa is comming soon.

Revision to rules and setups are posted at the beginning of this thread. Hope we are getting close to perfection.

Hi,

Went through the revised rules and maybe I found a couple of ’ mistakes ’ to correct :

Under Political Situation, at # 7 USA, 2nd para,2nd line ’ them together until RUSSIA reaches its full production of 80 '. I think you meant US not RUSSIA, didn’t you ?

At #9 Communist China. It is mentionned that you can’t attack Nationalist China twice, 3rd and last sentence. Maybe remove the last sentence. But it is no big deal if you leave it there, it is like to make a point.

One more : On the Japan set up sheet, in : Infantry special, 2nd line, change the word bonzai to banzai.

That’s all.

Also ref sneak attack, I read that you can only do one sneak battle in that attack, is that so ? What I meant is I sneak attacked, on J1,  the US Pacific fleets in sea zones # 120 and # 133 and destroyed both fleets in one go with almost no unit lost to Japan and took San Francisco, and the US lose the 20ipc NO. It will be a while before the US can retake it. At J2, all the Pacific US convoys were occupied , and US is down to around 60, ipc wise, then substract the convoys and the US will collect less than 50 ipcs… Am I doing something wrong or is it ok so far ?

Thanks for the find on those mistakes.
  As far as the sneak attack I will go back and look at how I can clarrify that rule. What I was shooting for was a recreation of the attack on Pearl. I wanted Japan to be able to hit the US hard but only in 1 battle, and only on the first impulse. Nice move though to hit the US hard on turn 1.

I actually Used a panzer grey and a light grey. The panzer grey isn’t quite as distinguishable as the light grey from the black, but it works!

Yes, I thought it was a very fun game

@cminke:

what do you recomend for navel fighters,and navel torpedo bombers for Japan and usa?

for Japan I took the fighters and tacs and painted them blue. For US I took hellcats and tacs and painted them hunter green. Both colors are the same as that nations marines! That’s what I did.

Revision to rules and setups are posted at the beginning of this thread. Hope we are getting close to perfection.

@georgemak1:

is it going to bea hex based game?

A hex map would take longer to make. I’m gonna stick with territories. As of now Kursk will be the next game. I’ll make the territories a good size for a 36x72 map, blown up to a 48x96 the territories will be alot larger.
  For the Okinawa game I will include rules for the marine pieces HBG plans on producing. I plan on doing the same for the Kursk game also.

Please let me know what size you would like the maps to be. I would love to make an 8x4 of the battle of Kursk. I know alot of people don’t have the room for such maps. Any ideas would be appreciated!

INFJ

Yes, but still being playtested. I’m hoping the latest this game will be ready is the 15th of June. As release time gets closer I’ll post here!!

The other I would like to see is a pillbox or a sendbag entrenchment piece. Rules for a coastal fort and a land fort, then you cold have softer entrenchments like pillboxes

Abe Lincoln no doubt.

Invasion of Italy still on schedule for June 1st. Final map sneek peek comming soon on HBG. Next map/game: Okinawa

Rules and setup updates comming in the next few days. Thanks to Sgt. Wonko for all the help!

I was reading on the House rules forum about different ASW warfare. Just wanted to know what people think about applying this to the 39 game.

f Submarine use Global 40 rules in conjunction with; are detected by destroyers on a 1/1 basis. (Ex. 3 DD’s and 1 CA attack 5 submarines. 3 submarines are detected and the other 2 get a preemptive strike and can retreat to nearest friendly sea zone or stay and fight. These 2 submarines can retreat only because they cannot submerge in a sea zone that contains a destroyer. Even if the preemptive strike destroys 1 DD, the 3 submarines that were detected are still detected and cannot retreat or submerge.) The 1/1 detection method is set at the beginning of combat and does not change during the battle.

Let me know what you guys think?

@Pvt.Ryan:

So all bases on the board are also on the “setup”?

I’m almost 100% positive yes. If not it is a mistake that no one has pointed out!
