Central Powers/Table Tatics, will there be a Re-Issue?

Maybe we could make some infantry pieces that would hold those gun pieces.

now all it needs are your pieces

Just a quick notice. The MotCreations website is undergoing a complete restructuring and rewrite. The MapView sections will focus on the modules from cooperating partners such as Imp Games, Deer Valley Game Company, and others. It will also include a large focus on User-Defined Modules with a catalog of player-submitted games. Some other projects beyond MapView will be also be available, such as an AI for the civil war game “SQUARES”. Along with all of this will be a forum to provide a single place to have all of your MapView (and other MotCreations) questions answered. As it stands right now, there are bits of information spread all over the web on half a dozen different forums. I think it will be a great service to consolidate these into a central place. While the website is still being worked on, you can at least get access to the rough draft of the new forum here: http://pub60.ezboard.com/bmotcreationsgamingcommunity I will be trying to replicate any MapView threads located on other forums in our new forum so that new visitors can learn from the old questions. Thanks to everyone who has supported MapView over past two years! Mot

@Tigerman77: This was my idea exactly for my 39 setup. All nations start out with medium bombers and have to develop heavy bombers….so if Japan and Germany want to skip this technology for another they can. These new pieces are going to open the games for more house rules…isn’t that what we want? It’s what I want…! I think making Heavy bombers for the countries that don’t have an OOB heavy and making medium bombers for the countries that don’t have an OOB medium is the smart thing to do. I agree with you here on the possibility of house rules.  In my house rules version major warships already get 2 attacks, one for primary and one for secondary armament, so giving heavy bombers two chances to hit isn’t much of a stretch, any more than having 2-hit warships (or in my case, even 3-hit ones, though I haven’t quite settled on whether the 3-hit ones should be rare “super-BB’s” or standard BB’s, giving BC’s and carriers 2 hits…) As far as making it a tech, you could also make certain techs be already awarded to certain nations as a national advantage: e.g., Germany could automatically get Heavy Tanks whereas the US & UK could automatically get Heavy Bombers, which to some degree reflects the realities of the war and of each nation’s research priorities in the early-war period up to 1942 (when some game scenerio’s begin, after all…) Giving the oob 4-engines a “tech” status, though (even if it’s automatically awarded to the US, say) does somewhat push the B-29 out of the picture as an “upgrade” options, though… but this may become a non-issue, as I have yet see anyone firmly commit to doing a B-29 piece… (Other than TT’s old piece which is maybe too small…)

Those paint jobs are awesome

I took a careful look at the Global War 1939 board that Coach is selling over on his new site… and I bought it!  I think it might be my favorite board that I’ve yet seen, and it might be big enough to combine with a complete Panzerschiffe navy.  When it arrives, I’ll break out my Panzerschiffes and check for compatibility.  If it works and if no one out there seems to have a more full naval line-up by this summer, I’ll probably start gradually working on adding to and painting my Panzerschiffes to create my ultimate navy.  Meanwhile, I’m going to wait and see what sort of piece sets are available by then between Coach, FMG, & TT before pulling the trigger…

@CWO: I think the game being discussed here is Capt. Rick’s Superpowers game, which has been discussed in other threads (such as http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=17524.0).  It’s not related to the Supremacy game that was published twenty-odd years ago. Okay thanks. Anyways do you think Super Powers has potential

you have this down to a science Guest
