This map from the pc game Silent Hunter 3 perfectly illustrates what I’m hoping for in the Europe 1940 map: safe gap for U-boats and wide Atlantic. The Europe land mass obviously will be enlarged for game purposes.
Interesting to note that if the Azores was a territory in the game it shouldn’t have completely closed the gap even up to 1943. Below that, I never realized there was such a large gap directly west of Africa; but even more frightening was the Allied 1941 air coverage…

I still want blockhouses.
Those might be nice. But i would rather it be like airbases and naval bases where you pay like 15-20 ipcs and then put like a “fortification token” on a territory that ups all infantry defense by like one. It would be great to have in like France and England and such. But expensive enough so that it is an investment. And it also is different enough from infantry to make sense to use (instead of buying lots of blockhouse pieces).
Brain Damaged & Fire Knight, I agree; I’ve posted what I’ve found to be good fix for a blockhouse piece in the house rules section…now to work out the rule details… 
I’ve finally found the perfect blockhouse piece. These were discovered by accident while browsing through a dollar store, of all places. It’s those slide puzzle things we likely all played with as kids. So for $1 you get 32 plastic units; great deal. The best part is all you have to do is paint them; I found Humbrol #127 Satin US Ghost Grey the best match.
So far I like the idea someone shared of being 15 IPC each, one per territory, and allows any artillery there to fire first during amphibious assaults. Of course, if anyone comes up with the IDEAL rules for how these can be used, please share…
(sorry if this is the wrong place to post this)
–but but, what are these Canadian roundels really all about???
Brain Damaged, it appears no one wants to believe Larry’s simple statement… :roll:
Exactly; meaning they will be making the toughest decisions throughout the entire game. Every UK IPC will have to be carefully considered… 
My friend and I are veteran players (15 years) of a few different A&A games. We both live in the Mississauga area and are both well over the age of majority which helps as we indulge in a few cold ones and a whiskey or two or ten while playing. Looking to get a game going sometime in the future with anyone who is interested!
Cool; little bit of a drive for me but hell, the nice weather is coming…keep in touch…
With the little free time most of us have; about 3 weeks. 
All UK territories on the Pacific half of the map will be spent at the India IC. All UK territories on the Europe half of the map will be able to be spent at any of UK’s 3 ICs there: England, South Africa, and Quebec.
My concern is the production chart for Global: isn’t this going to be very annoying to count/track/split each time UK collects? :? Wait, maybe the UK will have two charts of their own… :roll:
And apparently the A&A world doesn’t revolve around Canada either, nothing more for it than “recognition”. Oh well. I’m sure this way is probably better.
Little disappointing but hey, we can use the lime green UK pieces for Canadian units…and that’s good enough “recognition” for me. 
As we all know, finding players is like finding a needle in a haystack…simply looking for anyone up for a game here and there for any version of the game. I own them all, so the choice is yours. Let me know; thanks! 8-)
