I don’t think so IL. That game I believe has Inf pieces and not card chips I see from pic.
I ordered same game on Kickstarter. With Cov -19 gonna be awhile there Ha

Really nice…especially the Russian house rule…wonder if any of the Axis&Allies Revised National Advantages can be used as well?

There’s a few guys testing the revised advantages on triple a

Only thing I heard is from an e mail Larrys working on a new game. Don’t quote me on this but I thought it was a napoleon game. I’ll have to recheck.

So what is the way on oob game ?

So then as the axis the two have to decide at start of game what side is going to go for the win then

So that tells me it’s one side or other then
I’ll probably start a new game in a few turns maybe.

Then basically Cairo should fall everytime then ?
So it’s up to the allies to choose one or the other side to prevent a axis win ?

Right. Ya I get the DD sub thing. Still need fs blockers but u better make sure u have a BB or Cr with Ac or fleets. Need that punch.
I did buy a couple cruisers as Ger to protect Transports but maybe unnecessary for them.
Ger seems to not get inf fodder to eastern front fast enough but japs coming back door for Russia.

I like your observation about Cruiser or Battleship to escort Carrier group. It is clearly what was intended about Redesigned rules, to improve the need to purchase these two warship types. A Task force needs naval firepower to protect Carriers and it is not with Destroyer or Subs which bring it.

2 or 3 Destroyers (10-15 IPCs) do not bring same kind of firepower. So, each warship has a better fitting niche.

Talking about China, I saw that all US troops were pretty much erased by Round2. I wonder if instead of adding 1 Infantry into Szechwan, an Artillery could improve the possible reaction against IJA advance. (Set up for Szechwan would then be: 2 Inf, 1 Art, 1 Fg.) To improve the aggressive stance, instead of the defensive posture which Infantry incarnates.

In this game, there is no Burma road. So, since Japan get an IC in mainland Asia right away. Maybe making it tougher for round 1 and 2 can make it better than a free ride toward Moscow?

I agree that, without Mechanized Infantry, it is difficult for Germany to bring Infantry on the Russian front, and more often it is German’s tanks which received the blunt of USSR Infantry counter-attack. And, if possible, two TPs in Baltic helps a litttle toward a faster movement of Infantry eastward.

Adding an art in China may help if the fig stays. But with UK spread all across the map with 1 income the China fig needed to go to Cairo for defense. Then it went to Calcutta for defense and interceptor service and of course it died with no kill. I wouldn’t say it’s frustrating but it’s hard to balance the UK income. Maybe Calcutta needs a fig on setup ? This is just based on japs can bring escorts and chance they kill a fig but looks like best to not intercept with Uk fig based on cost of a fig but still can defend @4 for territory. Tests continue…

@SS-GEN
With 5 IPCs value, it means that when maxed out at 10, you need to repair 6 IPCs to at least being able to built 1 unit.
So each damage point made by a bomber means 1 unit which cannot be built. When you reach the nominal value of the territory, there is no built possible without repair. What is above this level, is additional damage up to double the nominal value.

Cool. Ya something in my game.

IC question. IC in Caucasus worth 5. Has 8 dam. 10 max. How much do I need to pay damage off before I can build units?
Pay 4 to build 1 ? Pay 5 to build 2 ? Pay 6 to build 3. Etc.
