he was the master of this

Keep all OOB units the same

Cruiser OOB is now Heavy Cruiser but moves 3 spaces no matter where it is
new Light Cruiser is a 2-3, which is in between 3-3 and 2-2, cost is between too, but does not move 3 unless its in port. Reason is they were slower.

Peeps might buy the Light because of defense, or if they had 9 IPC left

It depends on your need for mobility or force projection. Russia needs Artillery to punch back, Germany needs the 2 movers to force the issue for Russia. The middle game comes and things change. Russia needs tanks at this stage.

@Dagon81

Can we get this is in PDF, .ai or .PNG?

I want to print from crisp images an playtest these

Your Welcome!

If you engage such a round and the purchases were secret, Germany could do a G2 Sealion

I don’t like the tit for tat dice roller. This means say attacker misses on everything, defender likewise. Next round attacker may get 3 hits and last second all the defending units hit for same amount. Its not the luck i remember on MSN game zone when we played classic AA via Milton Bradley computer game.

But alas i am hooked. I think im playing in every online game, and training for the Harry Larris setup, which is terrible and gives nothing for the axis. The German Bomber is out of range of the UK fleet on G1. But what it may do is balance the game. But i win regardless. Don’t understand why more people didn’t sink $17 bucks. Its well worth it to at least support the possibility of a G40 version of this game.

Getting tired on the constant reloads and freeze ups. They need to fix this ASAP, and they need to address why it takes so long to load up available games online.

Your not my nemesis, just a spec of dust that i brush off occasionally.

I would prefer that Airborne units have elite weapons and short supplies ( short duration think). As a result one bomber dropping such a unit, that unit attacks at 3 in the 1st round, 2 in round 2 and 1 the rest of the rounds. You can have a limited number of such units or based on Historical, or based on the IPC you spent raising these units.

Cost to upgrade one infantry unit to airborne=2-3 IPC… off top of head each nation can have 3-6 units

Germany 6
Japan 5
Italy 3
USSR 3
UK 4
USA 6
France 1 or Anzac 1

1. Frogmen- once per game ( or 3 times per game) the Italian player may make one target attack against any ship rolling 8 or less to hit.
2. Bersaglieri -up to X of these may be built, in combat they have automatic hits ( they were sharpshooter units)
3. Rommel effect- When German and Italian units are in combat and the German player has armored units, they receive a combat bonus of re rolling X misses.

@trig Making them another faction and (their own turn) might imbalance the game since your adding more non china/USSR/Califate turns which are more opportunities to stop the bad faction. Its like making Romania or Finland have separate turns which benefit Germany in a WW2 setting since they go after Russia and Russia does not have the benefit of a reply except on their own turn

@the-janus I hope you could do a write up on Great War by Imp games? Im not versed in this game, but i do have it somewhere

@aegiscruiser117 Ask doug to print a larger map as an option to the stock one. Other factions? like whom? Martians?

@slapshot86 Yea we know. Perhaps a future event

It is true that the scale of this isn’t Division or Army Group level, but half of AA isn’t that scale anyway

@general-6-stars Bull. Long Range Desert Group is real
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Range_Desert_Group

@general-6-stars YES! You need a Rat Patrol Rule. I’m watching that show right now.

@ryandascienti The only way its gonna work is you need to DRAW the continents in such a way so some are larger to fit the pieces. Also, Point to Point map system is ugly and cheesy. It is used primarily by lazy people who just pull up one of GMT’s maps and draw circles and you just move between them. This is a fallacy of the highest odor! Only GMT and really old titles by Omega games pull that stunt.

@mozkaynak What the hell? This is from G40? Definitely not 42.2

@general-5-stars They are starting in the Impassible Sahara, from there they can attack an axis area, and retreat back into Sahara ( provided they hit target or the enemy misses all in the same turn. They don’t exist until USA lands something in North Africa, and once destroyed they cant be rebuilt. They are basically a problem to poorly guarded axis areas. The Long Range Desert Patrol did exist and they did hit and run raids. the Rat Patrol idea is a good way to treat this and give game more fun and player options
