A perfect turn! First time this game, I think. At least for me.
So, I have no idea if this is proper strategy or not, but I’ve split my mobile forces to the north and the south. It looks like an interesting position to me – I hope you also enjoy it.
Germany deploys 2 inf to Paris,
4 inf, 1 art, 2 ftr to Hanover, and
2 mech, 1 tnk to St. Petersburg (who’s Lenin?)
Germany collects 58 IPCs – no savings, no convoys.
I was thinking we might be able to get away with lumping Franzac’s turn in with the rest of the Allies…use this turn order for a few turns:
Italy, then Germany (just finished)
Russia
Japan
US, China, UK, ANZAC, France
(repeat)
Just doesn’t look like Italy and ANZAC are going to see much direct contact for a while, and the French destroyer is dead. It might help us get through more turns each week.
Still, it’s your call – if you want to keep the traditional turn order, that’s totally fine!
yeah we can do that.

Allies up!
FYI I will be at Kubla Con from Friday afternoon through Monday afternoon, so I will probably not be able to play any turns during that time.
Where is Kubla COn? SAn Jose?
What are you doing there?
It’s in Burlingame, yeah. My friend Eric and I have developed a short (1 hour) sci-fi board game and we’re going there to playtest it and maybe try to find a publisher. Also we’ll play some fun non-A&A games.
sci-fi board game?!?!? WTF!
Like Yeti vs Blade Runner–Battle or the Panopticon?
I’ll send you some photos after the event. Something tells me it wouldn’t be your cup of tea.
hey, I’ll try to get back to this tonight or tomorrow.
Battle map is kind of a B to get going on my computer. I need to be in the office to use the big screen etc….
But I will get to it.
OK, whenever it makes sense. As long as we keep up a decent pace overall I’m not fussed about any particular day.
As far as screen size, keep in mind that you can scroll around the Battlemap by clicking and dragging with the right mouse button. You might have to drag in the opposite direction you’re expecting, e.g., drag it up to move it down. It takes a moment to get used to, but once you get it it’s not hard.
yeah, no, it’s more just my laptop screen is so small… hard to see the big picture
