Hey Kilroy, finally I am back on track.triplea_36714_2uk.tsvg

@all-encompassing-goose Well everyone know A&A is a gambling game. Thats why Low Luck attempts at all the various games break the game because the setup was based on gambling dice, not bean counter types who wear white shirts and thin black ties and have their hair slicked back like Pat Riley circa 1983.

The only possible game that LL might work is Global, but that’s not fun either.

I hope they do a Kursk scenario in this new game…

As far as “boots” you need to employ the zombie rules…For every two Canadian infantry drafted, one disappears since it avoided service. This models canada exactly.

@kilroynothere Hey Kilroy, yes the last 2 weeks were quite busy. We had to do lot´s of stuff with school stuff for our kids and my wife is sick now the second week in a row. It´s just a simple flu but since she got Covid last year every small infection like this leaves her sick for at least two weeks now. But I think I will be ready to continue our game this weekend as my parents will visit us and I have some spare time then. The following weekend will be totally awesome. We have planned a Global War 36 game with some other fellars from Europe and me from Friday till Sunday. As this is the first time for me playing this game face to face I am thrilled.

@angel Well everything depends on the price! Cruisers cost could move to 11ipc and a Battlecruiser could be 15? Perhaps you keep them a M2 unit, then a 1 hit wonder with 4-4-2-14 and a SB4 would have some utility for some nations.

@8d88 Need to do this for 1942.2, make Antarctic playable, add Azores, and other changes…

@thrasher1 If you turn the board sideways, you get a Barbarossa game which is what the thing should have been!

My suggestions are in most cases “TECH IMPROVEMENTS” In some cases are additional tools to give player options, which is what makes these games so interesting. For example a Battlecruiser is a “tween” unit between Battleship and Cruiser and not all nations may buy them, but need a 4 defense or offensive unit, plus if you add a speed of 3, you got a utility in that to use in special occasions and its cheaper than a Battleship, but the only thing is it takes one hit. I have played with this type of unit for years and it works and does not break the game. Paratroopers would be a tech unit BTW, but all nations should be capable of its development, even though all nations did in fact have Paratroopers in the war, sake Italy. What is not a “Tech” but nobody but me seems to flog its very notion, is those very scraps of paper with a corresponding pledge to pay the borrower back at the end of the conflict known as “War Bonds” This is not a tech!!! and yet people just pass it off as some invention that was paramount to Allied victory. Rather its: We got nothing left in our mind to put down as a potential tech, that’s not political “atomic bomb avoidance syndrome” due to our puny understanding of History and so i remember Rosey the riveter signs from some book as being iconic, so war bonds was born.

Stupid.
