If Japan is focused on taking out India, then I like to move my navy out around the pacific just to be nuisance to Japan (convoy raids, force them to keep escorts with transports, etc.) I try not to get them into a position where they can get ambushed by aircraft or a fleet. I like to buy a transport so that I can take Islands that the Japanese are not defending.

I actually kind of like playing as ANZAC. I normally do not get attacked (since I try to keep my ships away from the enemy) and I get to be a general pain in the a$$ to the Japanese.

Realism to a point….It would be tough if every power had different values for their units.

Thanks, I was trying to figure out how to post pictures (seems like it should not be that hard) I gave up and posted a link.

This thread delivers!

This topic is as dangerous as politics. I think I got into one of these arguments a few pages back for hatin’ on MacArthur.

@Gargantua:

I’ll take 3 battleships and 3 bombers please.

I guess I meant the purchases are scripted more than you get to choose.

Maybe each capitol gets a certain number of units each turn (eg US gets an air unit 3 ground units and a naval unit). There would be a chart that shows what they are specifically on each turn.

That would make the economics easier.

I always liked the idea of giving cruisers the anti-aircraft ability of AA guns, but for a fleet since they had a lot of deck guns. That ability would make it worth it to have a cruiser in the fleet I think.

I think the rule would be more clear if scrambling only applied to island airbases (including England and japan). If sealion is more difficult then so be it. Sealion seems like it is a little too easy anyways.

@dangermouse650:

Am sure that when the french units come along there will be big sales there as well……

Agreed, I can’t wait to have french units that are not rolling in T34s

I’m not sure $1000 would cover it. When I get serious about painting I can paint for 3 hours after work for 3 weeks just to do one faction. Considering there is 11 factions (Counting US and UK as different factions on each map) that is a rough estimate of 495 hours. $750 would be ~$1.66/hour.

Before I started painting I thought $1000 for a set would be fair too, but I was amazed how much time I spent getting as far as I did. I’m not even done yet.

Some people might paint faster or slower depending on their skill or how much detail they are trying to add.
