Yea, KAF is the sole reason people started building infantry in W. USA and walking to E. Canada.  Slower assault into Europe, but Japan has no real ability to do anything to N. America.

Interesting, I hadn’t considered the idea of bringing the rockets with.

I was thinking that 5 infantry in Russia would almost FORCE your opponent to attack with 10 ground units at least and, if lucky, might actually survive a round.

But, hmm, if you had retreated that Caucasian AA Gun and you had two now, that’s two rockets at Japan, since he more then likely has at least one IC on the mainland by that point in the game……  Or two at Germany if you run that way.

Craig’s clarification is one that is often overlooked, even in games on this site.

The important things that I want to emphasize about TRN’s…

1.  They can carry UP TO 1 INF and any 1 other land unit.  But they can carry only 1 unit of any land type (this comes up often from new folks thinking they HAVE to have an INF and something else in order to use a TRN).
2.  Once a TRN offloads it is DONE for the turn.
3.  Forget the term “bridge”.  It is just a regular load and offload, with a movement of zero spaces for the TRN.

To further complicate matters the TRN and the troops must be from the same country. Only UK troops could board a UK TRN and unload in the same turn.

US troops would load onto a UK TRN in non-combat and would not unload until the next US turn either in combat or non-combat.

A new version would be great, maybe with prettier pictures and a bigger map.

However, the current version isn’t too hard to use.  You get used too it.  Right now the toughest units to differentiate are:

Transport/Submarine
Battleship/Destroyer

You can do it, but sometimes I get em mixed up whatn I just glance at them.

after you launch the program select “load new game” look for the file revised.xml, select it and click  open.  now try starting a game, it should give you the revised version.

My opening German move to attack UK fleet is ussually kinda like this (the availability of my fighters depends on russian player of course…)

Sub z8 attacks z2 along with Bomber from germany, fighter norway.  (a bit risky move i know…)

Battleship z14 to z 13 along fighter from france

Transport z 14 to z 15 along fighter from balkans,

What i buy is situated to the actions of the russian player, but either i go a battle ship and 3 tanks, or 8 tanks or 6 tanks and a transport to put in italy…  Option on 4 tanks and a transport (italy) and a destroyer (baltic sea) have crosed my mind…

Any thoughts?

I’ll have to put you at least 3rd in line… It seems that a lot of folks want a piece of me :-)
