Has anyone ever played the game Cyber Nations? You simulate a country and build armies and infrastructure. I suggest checking it out.

I suspect you are right. Ta.

Thanks. I appreciate it

Never mind. Calvin directed me to them here:

Here’s a link to an article about new footage that was just found in London showing the aftermath of the Blitz. I thought you would all find it interesting.

@GrizzlyMan:

but did they fight against the japs?

In real life they fought until the France surrendered and then remained loyal to Vichy France (and surrendered to Japan). But since this game ignores Vichy France and assumes all French forces are Free French, I think it’s more accurate to have a small garrison there. My favorite is 2 infantry, plus a destroyer and a transport off of FIC. It balances the game a little more and gives France a little bit of involvement in the Pacific (assuming Japan forgoes a J1 attack…)

That was my point as well: The game assumes all french forces to be Free French. On the other hand the fact that they were Vichy might be better represented by NOT having any forces there, so as it is now.

I do agree that for game balancing purposes it would be better to introduce them, The same goes for Dutch forces. I’d make it a pro-Allied neutral. Give them a few infantry and also a small fleet. Cruiser and transport or so.

I have a folder of period marches that I listen too that is spaced out for about the time it takes to make a move in turn order. There is nothing like doing the German moves while Panzerlied is blasting on the stereo.

As far as the options I voted for Classic Rock which could have easily been Hard Rock and much of the latter is now considered part of the former. To a person of my age Classic Rock means early Rock and Roll which I do listen to and not stuff from the '60s or '70s again which I listen to. My other choices were Bluegrass and Blues. I think I can honestly say I have heard very few groups from the last 2 decades that I thought were worth a flip and see no reason to listen to inferior (in my opinion) music merely because it is new.

Oh, okay. I assume de la Rey is from South Africa (considering the Afrikaans and General de la Rey, the Boer general).

Per Djensen’s preview part 3:

Before a power that starts the game “neutral,” like the United States and the Soviet Union, there are a few special rules.

*** Cannot move into or fly over neutral territories.**
    * Cannot move into territories controlled by any other power.
    * May not use aircraft carriers, transports, naval bases, nor air bases that belong to another power
    * Does not block naval movements of other powers and may occupy the same sea zones as another power. USA can be in the same sea zone as UK or even Germany while not at war./li>
    * Cannot attack a territory of a power with which it is not at war.
    * If a power attacks a sea zone that contains both units from a power with which it is at war and from a power with which it is not at war, the units not at war to not participate in the battle and war will not result.
    * Declarations of war must happen at the beginning of the combat move phase before any combat movements are made.

That’s clear enough.  :-)

@de:

The French position in A&A is starting to remind me of Colonial Diplomacy.

That was the best Diplomacy variant

There were other official ones?

Tibet is represented in the game, it is called the Himalayas and is impassable, as accurate as anyone could have asked for,
