This is great news. I can’t wait to see what tweaks they made if any.  And I think they had to modify the box, it heavily featured a Sadam look alike and the WTC.

After reflection I would say Pearl Harbor was the most decisive battle.  Without Pearl Harbor America doesn’t enter the war for another year or more if ever.

I like it, but you better trust the other guy not to cheat

I would recommend 49-52 as you can have ussr and usa with the abomb and keep the hbomb back as a tech roll.

other techs I would recommend are icbms and  early warning  radar.

Cuban missile crisi i would reject based on the info from the site below: u.s. 24k warhead ussr 4.2k. Little too lopsided.

Otherwise I would go modern when both Russ and US have under 3000 active warheads again

I made a custom map for a modern era game based off classic axis.  I need sattelites for space based icbms as a technology.
(along with stealth, unmaned vehicles, national missile defense, etc.0  I have the dishes from fortress america pulling duty as early warning radars. The buck rogers sattelties always looked more ground based to me. like the Ion cannon in Empire.

currently I have counters which work fine but want to upgrade to plastic if possible.

Anyoine know a where you can get plastic sattelites?

Great idea one of my fav books growing up. I dont know if eastasia is too small, area wise it may be sdmalle but it contains some of the most populous regions of the world , large portions of India, China, Japan, the Koreas.

First time I did a custom map that’s exactly what I did, buy a world map and territory borders.  You could try to find an loder copy of photoshop like ps 6 or 7 for much less than the current gen.

My maps aren’t as advanced as IL’s but for the first one I used photoshop, picked the map size i wanted and used out line maps of the continents.  You can download a trial version of photoshop at adobe.com buit a permanant version runs more than $600.

I would recommend downloading a map you like the looks of and playing around with it on photoshop. The mopre complicated the map the more than goes into it.

I think he meant in a game taking place in the future or today. In either of those cases I think helicopters would be a must and dspeed boats would be needed for the navies of small regional powers like North korea, or Iran.
