@FieldMarshalGames:

I had a close ZOOM IN look at this board.  The set-up is 100% fictitious.  If you look at the IPC chart Russia has 10 IPCs but controls most of the Middle east and SW Europe!  Looks like a chimp set this one up.

In addition there does not seem to be ANY French roundel tokens on the board or beside it?  Also not on the IPC chart?  What does this mean?

Could you post the zoom in?

way to much pixels

Just save the picture to your desktop and then use Windows picture viewer to ZOOM IN.  Looks like crap but you can see some details better.

The color of the ships is the same. There is no Italian battleship; they’re 2 cruisers

@cminke:

hey

Umm, how does that prove anything? No one can see the details of the ships on the Battlestrip, so comparing it to another piece is useless

@cminke:

what class is the italina ac?

idk, but i think the russian one is more rectangular.  the one in the pic looks more pointed on the left side like the german carrier.

Since Russia didn’t have a carrier, they copied the British carrier

@cminke:

@cminke:

How do you get the picture into something that you can draw with? What program did you use?

[johnnymarr]

[calvinhobbesliker]

How do you post the image?

[calvinhobbesliker]

Also, did anyone notice the German and French ship in the Western Med?

the German one looks like a transport

Anyone noticed the new Russian Tac ?

Its a strange russian aircraft near Moscow, and its bigger than a fighter, and smaller than the russian bomber in Caucasus.

The setup is just for illustration. Their is no need to think this is the 1940 setup, with Americans in Russia.

None of the pictures from any game have used the starting correct setup as the promotional shot. Rather some chimp was told to stick the units on the map and take a picture. It was probably the same guy. I give him credit for putting the blue pieces mostly in france, but i am sure he was told some basic things.

This reminds me of “Where’s Waldo?”

Ha ha. Except we’re not looking for a specific thing.

You’d figure they could at least find one intelligent person to do these things. It’s not like a logical and accurate setup would make for a bad promo shot or anything… But I suppose, other than we people in these forums, nobody else really notices or cares enough to complain.
