First pics from GenCon

[Lynxes]

On second thoughts, bomber looks a little bit more like 13 in cost and battleship as 20. Can someone at GENCON clarify this. This would be:

Mobilization zone (Cost, move, attack, defend:

Infantry   3/1/1/2
Artillery   4/1/2/2
Tank          5/2/3/3
AA-gun        5/1/-/1
IC            15/-/-/-

Fighter         10/4/3/4
Bomber       13/6/4/1

Submarine   6/2/2/2
Transport   7/2/-/-
Destroyer   8/2/2/2
Cruiser       12/2/3/3
Carrier        14/2/1/2
Battleship   20/2/4/4

VCs added are: Ottawa, Warsaw, Stalingrad, Hong-kong, Sydney and Honolulu.

Bah, I really was hoping they would stop putting in North American VCs since those will rarely see play.  Oh well..

Yeah I would have liked S. Africa better then Ottawa.

At least in this game, there are more VCs than India, Moscow, and Leningrad for the Axis to go after... 

But south africa would have been sweet.

I thought S Africa would be better b/c in the off chance Italy can sit at the big kid table and contribute to the game that would be some thing they could do b/c they wouldn't have as far to go as any of the allies.

Italy does sit at the big kid table...

Of course, its so Germany and Japan can have Italy get beer, soda and sandwiches. And no one wants to scream across to the kids table, so it's better to make sure Italy is close by.

wow! this is turning into the S&P 500. I also ask for clarification on these values. Can somebody let us know the true values please?

subs at 6 IPC! OMFG!

I guess im gonna buy lots of subs and bombers with a few cruisers. MUhahhahahah!

Oh I get it It's the Thor and Skippy strategy.  Thor is the Axis suprime commander and like you said Skippy gives Thor foot rubs so Thor doesn't hit Skippy.

Well with subs at 6IPC's who whould want to use those expensive transports as fodder?

[Imperious Leader]

You cant any longer.

As the other guy posted, transports have no values. a plane flying over just takes all the lone transports off the map. Ships don't even need to fight them anymore. So now you buy subs for fodder but i think something will be presented to alter that making destroyers the new "infantry of the seas"

[Lynxes]

/IL

I suspect also that subs will have some new ability/disability. Perhaps they will have to submerge after one round if a destroyer is still present, or some other limitation. If only they have this combined with some economic attack special ability, but even so subs seem to be the real deal in this edition however they come out.

Does the US play China at the same time?  (Also 6th in line)

I'm curious to know the difference between the light tan neutral territories, and the light green neutral territories?  Are the Lt. Green able to be "purchased" similiar to Classic?
Thanks.

Subs are actually attack 2, defense 1 now, so the lower cost reflects that, I think.

Haha. Nevermind, I answered my own question.  (it's just the different terrain, right...)
