Mexico was not independent during the civil war. It was under French control.

You can now get a theatre level game of Europe that is more in line with Rise and Decline of the Third Reich Ais & Allies style.
Come see it here. Â HBG can sell the game mounted as well. Â Check HBG for details.

May I ask for a review copy :P…. And perhaps get one? I could bitch and moan all day why I don’t have $10 to spare at the moment… I have the capabilities to print this map, play with my children and friends and even post action shots! I’m not a bad reviewer ether… this intrigues me to the point of begging… So… Ahem PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!

It is distributed through HBG, so I have no contro there.

As I get e-mailed rules questions, I’ll post the response here as well.
Feel free to ask here on the forum instead.
Question:
For initiative purposes, does attacking a space and taking control of it count towards initiative?
Answer:
Only attacks that involved ground units are counted towards initiative. You must have won more ground battles than the opposing side in order to retain initiative on that particular front. -
Pics for you to enjoy using FMG’s pieces.
The map from HBG is much higher resolution, by the way.

The maps for those that are curious:

The Europe half. These are meant to be joined.
-
Question:
If units attack a space from another front, does winning combat there count towards the front the units came from?
No. For example:
All battles that occur in the Eastern Front count towards initiative on the Eastern Front only. Even if units came in from the Southern or Nerthern fronts to attack a space in Russia, the battle still occurs in the Eastern Front regardless of where the units came from.
-
Question:
When will the Pacific half be available?
I have the map finalized, I just need to redraw in in higher resolution. It needs to be playtested more as well, and then it needs to be play tested as a combined game. I could use some playtesters.

Question:
In the rules, you don’t state if ships can intercept when out at sea. Can they?
Ships (unless on convoy duty) will always begin and end the turn in a port. Your ships begin the turn in port. On your turn, you will decide if you want the ships to perfrom a mission or stay in port.
If the ships do perfrom a mission, they will have a movement allowance of 10 spaces, but they must return to the same port they originated from.
Ships can rebase to another port, but must do so in Redeployment phase.

A peek at Pacific.
China is broken up into Nationalist (light green) and Communist (red). There are rules to simulate the friction between the 2.
