Hi, new to the form here. I am maybe a hour north of Calgary between Calgary and red deer.

Ah ok thanks everyone for clearing that up for me, I remember playing games where that was a rule but I couldnt remember what game.

Hopefully someone can help me with this, I remember there being a rule that Russia can take control of allied units in Russia, supposed to represent lend lease. Is that just a first edition rule? I can’t seem to find it in the rule book.

So the game ending in an Axis victory due to some conservative Russian play and negligence in the Pacific by the US, allowing the Japanese to dominate the Pacific. I still am not convinced that Sealion is worth it, especially when it brings the Americans and USSR into the war, if it’s attempted later in the game then it wouldn’t be so bad, but it would also require alot more IPC’s to attempt. I did learn some valuable lessons in this game though.

I generally favor a G2 attack as there are very little Russian units on the board, the more rounds you wait to attack the more infantry they can stack in Moscow, Ideally on a G2 attack you can be attacking Moscow or on the brink of attacking when the allies threaten to land. The longer you wait to attack the longer you will have to fight a 2 front war.

I’m sure this has been posted, but I am right in the middle of a game and I would like to hear some players thoughts. So I was able to capture London on round 2, which was great, I’ve never attempted Sealion, but it brought Russia and the US into the war, the game is at about round 8 now and it’s been tough going for Germany especially in Russia. Having tried Sealion I don’t think it’s worth it. Not when you bring the Russians into the war, (which I think is a ridiculous rule, for the sake of the game balance I understand America joining the war, but Russia makes no sense, especially when you have a political situation that has a non aggression pact with Germany. The rule book basically gives the British player insurance that they won’t be attacked early which seems a little silly and counter to the history the game is based on)

Hi Spitfire38 I have been using Games workshop paints, they run about 5$ Canadian a bottle which are pretty tiny! I have always been pretty happy with them though and they have a huge selection, designed for miniature painting.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, greatly appreciated. Ive made some progress on the army and I thought I would share. The artillery is finished, including spg’s and flak.

Your on my hitlist Tyler; if that really is your name.  And I’ll be coming round the mountain looking for you in the league next year.

Looking forward too it, BC has got nothing on Alberta.

This is the Airforce.

I used Corsair fighters from HBG as carrier fighters. A close eye can spot the U.S.S. Missouri.
