A large part of the game depends on who the Allies decide to attack. They can decide between KGF (kill Germany first) or KJF (kill Japan first).

For people who are new to the game, I think a KGF would be easier to pull off. All the Allied capitals are near(er) to Berlin, so the logistics are easier. Also, Germany can threaten Moscow quicker than Japan if not threatened.

However, a KJF can work against players who are used to playing against KGF. It is usually best to go this route if Japan has a bad first turn, although I have won games where I had a KJF in mind before the game started. In this strat, your goal is to reduce Japan down to Tokyo and maybe a couple other territories, and to wipe out their navy. In this way, only a minimal Allied force is needed to contain them, and all attention can shift to Germany.

Note that I don’t mean to ignore the other axis power that you aren’t focused on. This is usually only a problem in KGF, and Japan can reach Moscow quickly if left unchecked. Usually the U.S. will deal with Japan a bit in KGF, and Russia will hold off Germany with a little U.K. support in a KJF.

As the Axis, you must identify if your oppenent is playing a KGF or KJF. The nation that is the focus of the Allied attacks must play defensively while the other nation kills Russia.

Also, here are some templates for if you want to make cards for the units.

There already is a CCG style WWII card game.

That isn’t the one I was thinking of at first but it is what a quick google search turned up.

I agree!!! I’m living in Australia on the mid north coast.

IS THERE ANYONE PLAYING AAM NEAR COFFS HARBOUR???

COME ON PEOPLE!!!

Nothing around here? I think! How about you?

youngstown have you tried it yet?

I did a rough breakdown of what a unit costs in box of 9. I was suprised. If all were the same they would be $1.11. but I knew Commons and uncommons and rares dont have the same value. This was done quickly (roughly).
I figured that you get in a box of nine(9) you get: 5 common, 3 uncommon and 1 rare.

The price I came up with (which could be made in to a percent for trades 😉 to make it easier) are as follows
Common $.68
Uncommon $1.20
Rare $2.00

Wait ill get a percentage breakdown (for trade like points :IE a common is worth so many rares .000005) not really but here
Common:0.34 of rare or 6 commons = 1 rare 0.56 of an uncommon so 2 common = 1 uncommon
Uncommon: .60 so less than 2 uncommon = 1 Rare and for common has been done
Rare all has been done.
WOW on paper …CComuper! Its much diffrent than I thought.
At first for anything i thought 2 common=1 uncommon (true) and 4 common or 2 uncommon=1 rare. This estimate was close though.

I allways saw it as 4 common,2 un common and 1 rare= 7 but for the other to my cousins have always debated over the other 2… not as what they were but WHAT they wer(fot the pyramid)
They said that u could trade up for 2 rares with 1 common/uncommon (1 of each)
but I said trade up for rares and other cards you dont have for cards you have extras of.

EXTRAS DO COME IN HANDY!

OH AND AN IMPORTANT NOTE: just because its common or uncommon,etc isnt true 4 u because There are many commons i need but uncommons ill have like 3 of.

JUST THOUGHT id add my 2c so if you want to post your breakdowns then please due so.

P.S my cousin I plan on buying these from won’t check the work or probably won’t even notice… but im going to try and buy them from him at:
Common $0.50
Uncommon $1
Rare $1.25

Of course certain units ill pay more or less for (like mausers I have 4 of but Mosin/Nagants I have 0 of) clearly will make a diffrence.

ya thats why i made it a 5 or a 6, because u cna’t always find or use the weapon, so do you think it would help if we needed a 6 to pick the weapon up

Nice campaign. I’ve actually making one right now, but I might play This when I’m finished. I like the concept of building the army in squads.

In scenario 2 the Italian army is counter-attacking
Italy 125 pts
Americans 100 pts

With More German resistance it will tougher. Considering many of your own units are Brand new to the Campaign.
German Troops have almost eclipsed the Italian army. Italians are mainly part of a German Squad
Location: North-Central Sicily

Tell me if you need any clearification on anything and please tell me any changes or your ideas about it.
Also tell me (if you played) how it was.

I already can post campaigns 1 and 2 and all their scenarioes but will release 1-3 a week  If I have time!
I also know you are not supposed to use platoons but I thought this would make it easier on me and hopefully you.

I wa teaching my cousin to play and on his first roll ever, he got 8/8 all 5’s and 6’s!
also he got snake eyes about 6 times last night.

My neighbor warren ( May he R.I.P ) was in the battle for the bulge. He was part of a bazooka team and he snuck up behind a King Tiger tank. They shot at it and the rocket bounced off. I then asked him what did you do next and he replied: We dropped the bazooka and ran. He ended up getting wounded later by grenade shrapnel
