A&A Anniversary Edition: Mobilization new units in industrial complex built in the corrent turn.

I haven’t seen any warping of my boards (yet). For the records: my box arrived undamaged, although I still have to check the playing pieces.

@SS: Ok then. Axis player what is the best way to play it , with or without tech and NO’s? I would preface this with my opinions about these options. National Objectives Usually these are more often lost and hard to (re-)obtain for the allies.  The axis are usually advancing and can more easily achieve their national objectives, with the exception of Italy, whom the allies can deny the Italian NOs more easily. Advantage with National Objectives:  to the Axis Weapons Development sidebar I am not a big fan of the randomness that is built into the achieving of technologies.  Plus the techs are not even in their strengths:  Super Subs for Russia?  practically worthless But if you play with tech, I think that favors the Axis.  Why?  Most techs are offensive in nature, which is the Axis main strategy/strength, especially early.  It would be nice if Jet Fighters were still a ‘5’ on defense instead of a 4 on offense (no longer a defensive tech).  Similiarly, advanced art could be a defensive aid as well (inf defense to a ‘3’). Advantage with Weapons Development:  to the Axis Again, merely my opinion, but with the reason(s) I why I believe so.

THX !!! +

Can someone please post a pic of the Italian units ( all or even just some of them ) please?

Well, you guys might be missing something here.  You do not need to agree that the game is imbalanced, or have a consensus on what bid is necessary to balance it, to have a consensus on what I am talking about. Example: Person A may think the game is already balanced and that a bid is not necessary, Person B thinks an Allied bid of 6 ipcs is needed when you play with NOs, and Person C is nutty and thinks that 21 ipcs are needed for the allies with NOs.  But all of these three people may in fact agree that a bid of 2 infantry in europe would be equivalent to a bid of 2 naval warships off the coast of america. Agreeing on what to do to balance the game is not a pre-requisite to agreeing on certain bids types being equivalent. Or, to think about it in a different way, lets think of this as a Ratio. I’m just going to throw this out there, but lets say you have a Bid of X. If you use it on the “front line” in either Europe or Africa/MiddleEast, then all you get is X. If you use it not on the front line in Europe/Africa/MiddleEast, or you use it on the front line in China, then you get X1.5 If you use it not on the front line in China, or you use it in the Atlantic on Navy, UK main island Air/Land, then you get X2 If you use it on Pacific navy, or American Continent Land/Air, then you get X*2.5. Now, as you can see, if you think X should be zero, then they all end up as zero.  If you think X should be 6, then you could either get 2 europe/egypt inf, or 3 chinese inf, or a cruiser in the atlantic, or a DD + a sub in the pacific.  If you think X should be 10, etc, etc.

Taht is good to know. If you ever wanted a game with members on this site, there is one every three months in Derbyshire. PM Private Panic or look in the Events thread.
