So if the Airbase is damaged you can land plane/s but you can’t scramble plane/s ?
This should go one way or the other.

Very nice and cool mr Dan !

@squirecam a deal breaker?! Wow. Glad technology wasn’t an important factor in ww2. I’ll do no tech but I wasn’t asking for a bid.

Greatest failure in design of both ana and war room. It allows for a shrinking of strategic options and a standardization of play that can bore.

Yo crockett. What do you mean by failure ?

What were the Plan Z ships ?

Ya I read that. Thanks hbg-gw. Thought I missed something. Thought maybe co. Made a specific piece. Yes I do have as a National
Adjective in my game

@imperious-leader

I agree. Thanks for the websites, but try here. XPForgecom. Any ship at any scale, 3D printed. You can even do special orders on ships he doesn’t carry. All my navies are from there. I couldn’t find a place that carried for example Germany’s Plan Z ships scaled to match the others I had.

Capital ships, all cruisers at 1:3000, DDs at 1:2400, Subs at 1:800, all perfectly sized. The problem with mixing OOB with other places is the scales and the sculpts are not consistent in quality , not only in the design, but also the material. Each to his own customizing.

@chris_henry I know there was definitely a few set up changes from V2. The french got an extra BB, the cruisers got divided up, and I think the British “Force H” got moved from 80 to 79. Some of the build queue stuff changed as well. Plus of course the added territories in Greece, Japan, London, Tobruk, etc. Nothing major.
My wishlist for v4 includes:

• Sea zone “roundels” to make life easier for us all
  **I noticed that too. Maybe on my next map make routes but can only hit in certain areas based on history.
  **
• A better Strategic naval move system
  **How would you like to have this ?
  **
• More territories in Yugo and China and Iran. I don’t like how Yugoslavia is one, while Greece is 4, and China’s rear areas get rolled through too fast. I in general say, if a territory is large on the map (southern Iran) and it is large IRL, then chop it.
  **Agree here. At least I have on my map only 1 move period through Asia and Russian Siberian territories to the coast.
  **
• On more sea zone from the US to HI. They are almost as far away from HI as HI is from Japan.
  Yes. Should be the same for both countries or just 1 sz closer for US if possible. Depends on miles.

• Japan being able to take planes on their sneak attack
  OK

• Damage costs for capital ships
  Yes

• Supply, defending retreat, in port, shipborne AA rules. All just good ways to add some accuracy to the game.
  **How would you use your shipborne AA ? I have in my game.
  **
• Battlecruisers!!! And not those mislabeled things we have now. I want the Hood and Kongo and well, that is about it. Maybe Yavuz.
  Sweet

@Chris_Henry

Curious, how did you reconcile setup for areas where there are territories that didn’t exist before?

Fortunately, v3 only added territories, so we didn’t have to worry about merging multiple setup units into one.

And most of the new territories are easily distinct, even without lines (which we went in and marked up later).

The most annoying part of it were the facilities, you’ll need enough tokens for facilities to mark up the map, i used 1cmx1cm glass mosaic squares that I stamped letters on. We also assumed that every territory has a minor port, because ill be dammed if i have to set all those up.

How did you reconcile the new terrain features? Do you even use them, since they’re technically optional rules?

I think most of the terrain features are there in v2. I think we skipped on jungles and desert however as they are missing IIRC.

To me that doesn’t mean adding territories on the map. But it might mean that for others.

I think it might include minor things like

• Is Iraq Connected to the Ocean?
• Is Burma Connected to China (via passable terrain)
• Is Western Australia Mountainous from the sea (Rondel to Rondel terrain tracing doesn’t work for amphibious assaults).
• Do we really need minor ports?
• Updated Rondels
• Here would be my dream, built in battle boards on the north and south sides of the map. Get their image for the battleboard, set the opacity to 50% and set it to the bottom and top.

Not on map but top and bottom battle boards

Could try to come out with a 37 game !
Lol
