@Cmdr:
I’ve done the seperate boards thing. It was with vanilla, but it worked out nicely. We tried it once with AA50 but after buying three sets (1 for the moderator, 1 for the axis and 1 for the allies) we were not too happy with the results. Then again, after everyone was drunk and high on pepperoni, mistakes started to happen and it spiralled out of control.
I would imagine things like that would be difficult to manage. In one respect I think it’s fair your enemy see some of things you have avaiable. What units are on your airbases, what’s in your harbours that sort of thing. I don’t think enemy should be able to see where my Navy and full armies are that aren’t acvtively engaged somewhere. I don’t think he should get to see where any of my subs are until they’ve attacked something. And after that he should only know their last known location.
Would be very hard to administer, but it would add an interesting mechanic as well.
We said that Fighters could “scout” two territories out, so if you had a fighter on the board, you could see all enemies within two territories. Armies could see all enemies adjacent to them.
