I would also have to agree on that one.  I would rather have space for more units as well.

Thanks for the detailed response 8-).  I’ve always liked the idea of island hopping.  But been to afraid of trying it.  I do like the IC on Borneo or Philippines.  I usually just build up to take on the Jap. fleet but 9 times out 10 its to little to late.

That is a controversial strategy (big time!).  But i like it!  I remember games past of mine where i getting robbed blind by the Germans with rockets.  It feels nice to be able to give them a taste of what they are giving out :-D.  What are your thoughts on an Australian IC.  Thats a big gamble, I know.  But, no guts no glory as they say.

Hello everyone,
I’m looking for a little guidance on the US.  Every time I play the US I build up my Pacific fleet and do my African Safari thing.  But when it comes to the Pac. theater I always try to go after the Jap. fleet way to late when they are to strong and give me the business.  My buying for them is usually a BB and maybe a sub or destroyer.  Then AC with planes.  Should I try Island hoping right away?

Thanks for the responses.  I think that I like that new strategy for going after Borneo and New Guinea.  The idea of getting an extra 5 IPC’s is nice even thou I will loose my fleet in Pacific.  Plus it helps the US in Pearl harbor.  If this approach is taken.  What about putting a IC in Australia to really make the Japanese come after the UK instead of the US.  I know that is a controversial buy for that territory.  But it might be worth it (especially if you have colonial garrison).  What is the consensus with the community on that one.  Keep the suggestions coming.  And thanks again!

I’m sure that this has been asked before.  For the UK’s first turn do you think its wise to go after Borneo, New Guinea, Norway, and the Baltic fleet all in the first turn.  Or is it really stretching yourself to much.  I would imagine that the Baltic Fleet should be first priority, especially if Germany puts an AC there first turn.  But the Borneo, New Guinea, and transport off the coast in asia I think should gone after.  I look at it as,  “if Japan gets bugged enough maybe the US will maybe get a fighting chance in pearl harbor”.  Or is that a waste of (much needed) resources even though you’ll probably get 5 more IPC’s out this quick push scheme.  I think that is good opening strategy in my opinion.  But what does the rest of the community think on this topic.

I’ve tried looking on facebook for aa and cant find the so called game page.  Or is it page that takes to GTO?  Any guidance would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Thanks IL.  I have an HP.  I had a feeling that it was going to be the latter of the two. :-(  Oh well.  I can’t wait to have this printed up.  You know of any places that sells the game pieces separately, so I can add on enough units from my revised set?

Thank you Captain Kiwi for inspiring us all!  I absolutely love your painted playing pieces.  It adds a whole new element to the game.  I too will make an attempt to do my own operation paintskrieg.  About how long did it take you to do this? Plus one for you this wonderful art work that you have shared with us.

Hi IL, I’m new here and love your anniversary map!  You have been probably asked this before.  But, is their a way to print this off with my printer at home with out having to each page off.  An then line up your page again before your print another page off?  Sorry if it’s a stupid question.

I would have to agree with you on that one.  But do you really think it is going to be 100 a piece for that mega aa? :-o
