Thoughts on this game?

Thank you, that actually helped a lot. We had a general idea of the subs ability to submerge unless facing destroyers, but that got a little confusing when it came to combined arms.  Your comment about dice actually sorted that out. Thanks a bunch, I’m sure I’ll be back with questions about convoys, bombing, and scrambling once we play again.

@General:

I was hoping for a general concensus… You all play a lot more than me and I dont have time to be playtesting.

:?

there’s not a general concensus. Many opinions vary on USA income and Russia.

@Krieghund:

Welcome, drmckool!

NO stands for National Objective.

thank you very much, I should have figured that’s what it was, I actually love the national objectives, particularly Lebensraum; even though the historical link between lebensraum and the actual launching of Barbarossa is slightly tenuous. I found as a historian the national objectives (NO) really adds to the game because it really grounds the action in concrete history.

@dinosaur:

Seven Cities is too easy for Axis and eight is too many.

a ‘city’ too far  :wink:

thanks for your answers guys!

My bet would still be for Russia because even though he does speak well of how Germany is doing he seems to be even more proud of the fact that Russia has held out for such a long time and is still very strong.

Konigstiger

Stalingrad. Divide the map up into two halves: one half city of Stalingrad, other half of the map the area from which operation Uranus was launched. The more troops the Germans lead into Stalingrad the bigger the chance they won’t be able to hold the perimetre. Some die rolls might be nice for the Russians so the Germans don’t know exactly how many Russian units are lining up for the attack. Id Stalingrad itself is taken, Germans win.

Excellent idea,sir !!!

@Bube:

I think that the global game will sell seperatly so the can sell us all the sutff that should have been in the game in the first place.

They have already stated that there will not be a separate global game. Everything you need will be included in both the Pacific and Atlantic games.

J1 will be foolish in AA40 Combined
A G2 attack on russia would co-ordinate with a J2 attack on the US in the Pacific.
