1939 Map

That’s the problem I am having now with the wording of the present rules. Germany didn’t attack Poland so France is not at war with Germany. Germany didn’t attack France either, so UK is not at war with Germany. And Germany rolled all over strict-neutrals and pro-allied territories in Europe and at the beginning of turn six went into Russia and just pushed the URSS armies aside. Since Paris didn’t fall, Italia is not at war and there is no war in Africa. The US is at war with Japan and Germany, and Italia also but the Italian forces are too strong now. The Uk and the US will lock up Japan on its home island in the next few turns, Germany will bypass the UK and France to get to the USA but I don’t think that will work for them. Will see in a couple of weeks how it ends.

You have to change that rules…

Germany didn’t attack Poland so France is not at war with Germany. Germany didn’t attack France either, so UK is not at war with Germany.
The US is at war with Japan and Germany,
It’s a non sense…another rule to change!

Great.  Or just state that Germany must attack Poland on the first turn, as it happened historicaly, to start this game as WWII started.

Hi tigerman.
Hey guys. I have made some changes to the rules to prevent this scenario from happening again. Simple rule: if Germany attacks any pro allied country it is at war with UK and France. I will also add if Germany attacks Russia they are at war with the UK and France.
The only pro allied I know is Poland.  :-D
If I want to attack USSR, I have to invade Poland before so I’ll be at war with UK/France already. :-D

By the way… your map is great…

This would be the best way in my opinion.

I agree, great map!!

Just to keep it simple Ill take your guys advice.

War it is not complicated. The politics…. yes… :-D

@Tigerman77:

Just posted updated rules and setups. just some minor tweeks.

Hi,

Did a quick read, so far so good. Thumbs for the Foreign Legion. Notice in the set up for Russia that you still have a ’ Lenongrad ’ though  :lol:

Need a clarification ref russian partisans.

Can you eliminate them ? Or must you leave an unit in each territories you conquered so that they won’t show up, or can they still exist by themself even if an enemy unit show up on the next turn in that territory etc etc.

Since I can’t post pictures yet, here is a link to a cell picture of my current game showing France and Italia and an empty Germany. France and Italia are not at war, this is turn # 9. Next time I take pictures with a cell, I will try to be more steady.

Rules are being modified to fix problems with factions entering war with each other and moving the game along. Look fir them in a couple weeks.
We appreciate all the feedback!

Geez…A lot of people in the english channel. Fishing must be miraculous  :evil:

Thumb up  :-)

@Tigerman77:

Rules and setups arte posted at the beginning of this thread. Sorry for the delay!

Thanks Tigerman77,

After a quick read ( nice to put the changes in red ), here are my remarks, observations and questions.

• On pg 10 of the rules, under Air units, STRATEGIC BOMBER should be labelled E not C. ( just to prove that I did read the whole thing  :-D )

• In the set up pgs, all of them, in the ORDER of PLAY box, shouldn’t FRANCE be with Russia & comm. China now ?

• On the ITALY set up, under SPECIAL RULES # 2, the words ’ only if at war ’ are now removed ?

• On the RUSSIA set up, under SPECIAL RULES # 2, don’t you have to rephrase it to match the new RUSSIA political situation with GERMANY ?

• A question/clarification ref JAPAN sneak attack about the new 35 IPCs spending instead of 10 inf and 2 transports. Clarify ’ place at the end of turn '. Do you mean to place those 35 IPCs under # 5 of the first impulse with the normal build or at the end of turn after the second impulse ?

• Noticed the 1 inf increase every 2 turns with pro Axis and pro Allied placed in their capital territories. Which mean the longer you wait to attack them, the stronger they will get, and on the other hand, the stroger they will be when you annex them… Am I wrong ?

• I saw that you fixed LENINGRAD.  :wink:

Guess that’s it for now. Thanks to keep it up and alive.
