Can you give me the link of your game? I have seen the video in your post, it’s quite good

I saw several of those expansions in their bins during the play-test weekend.  I would recommend contacting Mr. Friend about them.  I know for a fact that they have some Croatia and a few Winter War.  Didn’t really look into the others.

@Patchman123:

Can you add the Italian Maiale submarines and the British Long Range Desert Group LRDG to the game? I originally proposed a World War II game with Maiale submarines from the Decima MAS flotilla with my hand-drawn map of World War II, but since I found out about Doug Friend’s map, I decided to add my ideas to it. I would like to see the Special Air Service (SAS) in the game, too.  I think that Italy should have the Maiale submarines and have a bonus point against any Allied surface warships in the Mediterranean. The Maiale submarines will only be allowed to operate in the Mediterranean and they will have bonus points and warships will not get to roll against them. It will sort of be like the Italian equivalent of the Japanese kamikaze tokens. The Italian player will of course be limited as to how many Maiale submarines that they will get to roll per turn.  The Maiale will be any Italian submarine and the infantry aboard the submarine will attack the Allied surface warship in the Med.

I am not sure how to even make it work within the game. I was proposing a game with Maiale submarines against any ANZAC, French or British surface warships in the Mediterranean.

I also propose adding the Ariete Division for Italian elite units and the Folgore Parachute Division as Italian elite units. The Italians also had volunteers from India and the Middle East in their armies. I have a book on Italian elite units of World War II from 1940-1943.

Italy not only had Bersaglieri, they also had the Ariete Division and the Folgore Division.  You could add paratroopers to the Italian player.

You could also add torpedo bombers to the Italians. The Italians used the Savoia Marchetti SM. 79 as a torpedo bomber in the Mediterranean. You could also add torpedo bombers to the Germany, United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union. Japan and the United States weren’t the only nations to have torpedo bombers.

I have another suggestion.

You could also add a Bearn class aircraft carrier to France. France’s only aircraft carrier in World War II was the Bearn class aircraft carrier.

The Bearn was out in the Atlantic when France surrendered in 1940. You could add torpedo bombers to the Soviet Union, too. The Soviet Union had torpedo bombers in the Baltic and Black Seas.

You could also add a plastic P-40 painted in China’s paint color to simulate the Flying Tigers.  There is so much that you could add there.

@Tigerman77:

Have you played and got Japans income over $100?  In our games and most games I’ve heard about the Allies win or are in a position to win around turn 12-13.

On average, America can’t declare war until the end of it’s round 4, and can do nothing, until round 5.

USA - R1  = 13 (average roll) + 5 for fall of france = 18
USA - R2 = 13 (average roll) + 30 for Japanese attack on DEI/UK  = 61
USA - R3 = 13 (average roll) = 74
USA - R4 = 13 (average roll) = Over 80, Declares war on Japan
USA - R5 = Usa can actually attack Japan.

So, Japan has from J1 to J5 to get to 100 IPCs.

Starts at 41 IPCs  +

+5 for DEI
+5 for Singapore
+5 for Calcutta OR Sydney  (you will probably lose 1 by J5)
+3 Siam
+2 Singapore
+3 Saigon
+1 French Indo China
+2 Hong-Kong
+8 (on average) From Chinese Territories, could be more if China is defeated
+16 from Dutch east indies territories
+1 from Rabul
+1 from New Guinea
+1 from Brunei
+3 from either Calcutta or Sydney
+1 from Bangeledesh or Queensland
+2 from Phillipines (Might as well attack this on J5)

=100 IPC’s

That’s without an excursion into Russia, which is common, usually results in +5 or +6.

Japan gets to 90-100+ every game without having to put in too much effort, and before the USA can attack it.

I would love for you to post a turn by turn break down of a game you play. You seem to have very different experience than other people. I am of course not saying you are doing anything wrong. I’m just thinking a turn by turn break down might either A) point out things other people aren’t trying and bring your issues to light for everyone else or B) find mistakes you are making so they can be corrected to make for a better playing experience for yourself and everyone else.

If there is going to be a zombie set, how about a flying saucer/foo fighter set. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo_fighter

Revisions in progress that will have some slightly different setup for neutrals. Not a game changer, just better. The Rules will be better written also.

I do not think you understand, U.S. is now at war and Japan is not ready or secured enough money or built their Army. I am pretty sure Japan has lost because of this move.
