I based off what they pretty much had at peak of war. I didn’t do the 1 piece equals so many. I just made it like Uk 6 BB and spread them out. US I had 7 BB but reduced it to 5. 4 damaged in Hawaii at start of game. If it had like real 4 light cruisers and 2 h cruisers I just made that 2 normal cruisers and 2 more normal cruisers. To eliminate the 3 diff pieces. Everything else straight up with tweaks to setup as we played the game.
Yes the eastern front setup is more like spring of 41 than dec. 41 like pac is. based on the game balance and timing to work
Out. As u see the battle of the Atlantic is at its peak too. More like dec 41 there. Only issue in most games if not all is the d day invasions. Most happen before June of 44 in all games but to get correct US wouldn’t attack Europe until turn 7 or 8 with torch happening sooner
That would be a major setup change and year of turns.
I have my own map for game too.
Question: When italy joins axis - is that a declaration of war?
-
On turn 1. If Germany takes Paris or DOW on Russia, the rules read that Italy joins the axis on her turn.
But does that mean that Italy MUST declare war on UK? Or could it choose to “not” be at war with the allies?
The significance of this, is that Italy could peacefully non combat it’s entire fleet wherever it wanted to, or strike at neutrals whilst building up. Or stage an amphibious landing against Cairo on it’s next turn.
Comments?
-
If Paris is taken or Germany declares war on Russia, italy becomes and axis power at the start of her turn.
-
Does that mean Italy is at war?
Japan is an Axis power and not at war.
-
Yes because germany taking paris brings italy into the war.
-
I may make a rule change where italy can be attacked by the allies immediately after the turn germany takes paris or is at war with russia. This may keep italy at bay enough for the allies at the start of the game. This needs to be play tested.
