do you want canada as a power

[molinar13]

What happened to this world, cant joke anymore.

I have heard the argumiment that if the ANZACs are a power, so should Canada. I am from AUs, so I may be on the ANZACs side but my 2 cents are-

The ANZACs are a power because-They a remote island, that could not recive any help from Brittan, or help Brittan. So the the IPCs should stay in Aus. It was also at direct theat of invasion and was doing the exacpt opposite of India (they where aiming for Singapor, we where helping the us in the phillipans).

Where as Canada was fighting the same war as the UK, just as an extra. They helped the war a lot, but not as a really indepidant power.

Anywhy, just my 2 cents. Always house rules.

Where will you draw the line? Canada and other minor countries should be optional rules not house rules.

Optional... as in I can trade my French infantry in for more Japanese tac? 

[Make_It_Round]

A&A D-Day had white Inf, Art, and Tanks (possibly Fighters and Bombers as well, can't recall) that you could use to represent Canadian units.

Some boxes of revised (2004) came with minty green UK units too. These might be employed as South Africans? Indians? Hey, I'm all for adding new flavour to the game. You could even keep their economies and movements integrated and just put these bad boys on the table for aesthetic purposes

What I've always done for that one Canadian Armoured unit in Eastern Canada! 

[molinar13]

In my game im just guna make it its own power. The UK pieces from revised are a lighter color than the ones used for pacific and probably Europe, for the new pieces i will just use the new U.K. ones. And I heard somewhere that it was going to have its own territor marker as well.

My prediction. Canada is out.

I think WOTC will have Canada as a separate power....


...when the Leafs win the Stanley Cup.

[Richter von Manthofen]

How about giving the Canadian player also the much smaller (land mass) UK - that woudl make the Canadian player a major force ...

[Canuck12]

3 reasons why Canada should be a separate power:

1)   Canada made at least a s large a military contribution to the war as ANZAC and a much larger supply/training contribution. If ANZAC gets its own economy so should Canada.

2)   Canada already has a unique roundel represented on the Pacific map so unless Canadian IPCs must be "claimed" like Dutch IPCs then there is no reason for the distinct roundel other than if Canada is to be its own power. Furthermore, Larry has stated that "All Canadian provinces will be represented" giving Canada more territories than the continental US, Anzac or Italy.

3)    If the UK was ever conquered by the Germans, Canada (as well as ANZAC) would have fought on along side the United States. Considering the heightened possibility of a successful Sealion, it is essential that Canada be a separate power to represent the continued production that would have come out of Canada if the UK fell.


I predict Canada will look and act much like ANZAC with a few infantry, a couple fighters, destroyer, a transport and about 8 IPCs at its own disposal. --It could be a great Sub-hunting power... who knows.

Not only that but they contributed to the D-Day invasion, in my book that deserves some spot light... I know I keep saying this but does anyone know if Canada will have its own controller marker?

I think the Fact Sheet in the Pacific forum said they did.... although I don't know how you'll track conquests without distinctive sculpts.

[molinar13]

If they dont not give Canadian units a different sculpt I will use the British units from AA Revised. They have a lighter tan color than the now used units in AAP 40. For the new units Canada and the U.K. will have to share  

[democratic leader]

why dont they give canada there own pecies

Because WotC are cheep.

Besides, Aussies rule in tennis.

AND EVERYTHING ELSE TOO. We have the tallest residental tower in the world, and the worst leader ever (Kevin Rudd).
