I live in South Austin and am looking for people that play Struggle for Europe and Asia.  Please email me at mcbaima@gmail.com.

Thanks,

Mike

So how did they work out? Links?

Has anyone made any counters/Labels for the HBG miniatures?  Something like they use for Struggle for Europe and Pacific.

Thanks

Is this project still in the works?  I’m very excited about it.

Another possible solution could arise if the map is ever redrawn. Please note that I am not suggesting the map be redrawn just to solve this problem.

However if the map does get changed at any point I suggest splitting Reims into two separate territories.  The northern territory would border Holland and the southern territory would border West Germany and Bavaria.  Then you could increase the fortifications for the southern territory.  This would seem to be the most elegant solution.

Another idea is to just increase the fortifications in Reims to encourage Germany to go into Holland. As a counter, since not every game should have this, if France falls but Holland was never invaded, Holland becomes a reluctant German ally.

The logic behind this is that Belgium and Holland were too intimidated to enter the war on the Allies side and thus risk fighting the war on their soil.  How much more intimidated would they have been with no allies on the continent and the knowledge that  Britain could not protect them?

Under such a scenario I would see Germany collecting all of the income and resources for all of Belgium/Holland. This would be detrimental to Japan and could prove interesting.

Add nuclear weapons to the game.

How about the UK gets 5 IPC at the end of any turn in which in has one or more ground units on mainland Europe?

I like the idea of the axis being able to sacrifice a ship to close the canal for three turns along with the loss of 5 IPC for three turns is a very good idea.  I think I will be adding that to my games.

Thanks,

I have noticed that none of the versions of A&A accurately reflects the economic value of the canal.  Both Japan and Germany dreamed up several plans to try and close the canal due to the economic and military effects it would have on the US.  The Japanese had a mission underway to attack the canal when the war ended.  So my question is.

Has anyone created house rules to reflect the economic effect of either closing the canal to taking Panama?

gg guys.
