There are not enough Italian Roundels!!!

[GrizzlyMan]

I think the easiest solution is to just use French roundels when you run out of Italian ones. It’s not like the French are going to need any of them (ever  :wink:) and they look pretty similar.

You stole my idea :-D

I never figured out why its so hard to make 2 sided roundels one side allies other side axis, then way this problem never can happen.

so simple but so difficult…

Because then sorting them would be a nightmare.

[Imperious Leader]

Because then sorting them would be a nightmare.

Hows that?

make them consistent.  Every UK flips to Italy, Every Russian flips to Germany, Every USA flips to Italy, France… who cares about them?  I guess france can flip to Dutch or be a factory damage marker

major factory flips to minor

Air base flips to naval

simple.

If you know this its easy to sort out.

What if the roundels accidentaly flip over? I’d prefer them to include twice as many instead. It probably costs $3 more, so they’ll double the price of the game

[Imperious Leader]

yea right.

Are you agreeing with me or disagreeing?

[Bruda_Iz]

ah so this is what you mean by double sided roundels… call me slow but I was never quite sure what that meant.  That sounds like a top idea to me.

[Imperious Leader]

disagreeing?

I used the red (5 unit) markers for Italy and even ran out of those…

get a piece of paper, sissors, a green marker and a red marker, glue, and a small piece of cardboard……problem solved

[Razor]

Just buy 3 copies of the game …… problem solved

[Geoscal]

I had the same problem and solved it by printing small clipart Italian flags on card stock.  The little flags work well and allows Italy to dominate with no inconvenience.

I just used German roundels flipped over onto the back (black color showing).  It worked until I ran out of German roundels, so then we just put them on the boarders, 1 roundel was in 2 territories to show Italian ownership.

In my latest Global game we ran out of ANZAC roundels… when Britain and USA were slugging it out with an unlucky Japan, three ANZAC transports went on a rampage and transported infantry all over the place.

This is funny, I bought two copies of the game and the shortage of Italian roundels and units (I refuse to use poker chips except as damage markers) was the reason I cracked open the second. No one attacked my Italians and I ran wild.

[GrizzlyMan]

That’s why they’re my favorite power. When you’re left alone, you can completely dominate the game.

You stole my idea

Haha, sorry Calvin. It’s a good idea.  :-)

I just made a high quality PDF with plenty of roundels for Italy. I posted it on BoardGameGeek.com and it should be up shortly. Hope that solves your problem.

No self respecting history buff would use the Allied Italian roundels supplied with the game; download some correct Axis Fasces roundels for Italy and print out as many as you need.
