I feel these are Romanians and or Italians, which held the shoulders of the front line around the flanks of Stalingrad. They were decimated. Hungarians fought quite well and held their own. on a D8 i rate them as a whole weaker than Infantry and cheaper. In this game they are probably the Free French units in AA Afrika meaning cannon fodder for the axis. Hitler employed them for this reason, which is no difference than how Putin brings North Korean green troops for that same purpose. History does repeat itself it seems…

@SuperbattleshipYamato Finland didn’t fight in Stalingrad, the map doesn’t even include Baku, which was the Objective of the 1942 Campaign.

@SMichael23 Its not a solution if you magically give Italy this territory. If you want to model a problem, first get the facts straight with some research, then go into balancing it.

Aside from 1 ipc and 1 infantry, just increase Italy +1 and balance out the additional forces for both sides…

China is a road apple and a basket case. Japan needs to get thru that mess asap or they have no chance… If you hold back an already weak Japan in 42.2 you create a KJF scenario in every game.

Add italy fine, leave china alone and move the German air force out of UKR, give a bomber to Russia. Minor tweeks, then playtest

mostly good ideas, i would add axis minor allies with substitutions

@SuperbattleshipYamato

Note: Italy didnt own “Italian East Afrika” in 1942…

Happy Quanza. Whatever that was

Im thrilled to have 4 copies of this game. Its easily the best theater game

@GGleize ok but adding 12 ipc to allies especially Russia isn’t the same as just moving a German bomber. Germans can use a bomber admittedly, but a Russian bomber is alot more needed than saving the German bomber imo. Minimally, you need to move both German UKR planes away .

@GGleize oh boy. What what im hearing, let German bomber get destroyed in Ukraine, and additionally give the Russians a 3rd plane?

OK we give them a bomber, which i have always been in favor of.

But remove both German planes from Ukraine, give Germany 1 extra infantry probably in Africa

so USSR +12 ipc
Germany saves 12 IPC bomber, and1 inf

reason: a third plane really improves Russia for trading, and Germany is too weak in Africa, 1 inf would help.

Also, Japan should have 2 infantry in Borneo, move the destroyer and transport one space away from UK fighter, naval. Remove one of the useless Japanese infantry from the zero IPC islands. Its too easy for allies to take money islands. Otherwise, reduce each 4 point money island to 3, add 1 to Manchukuo, add 1 to Phillipines

This is a very old game and it represents alot of hours and yet another guy was asking me for the files…so here they are…for free

Recently, a lad asked me to put current links for my revamped Korean War AA style game. This is sorta similar to the one on you tube except alot more balanced and with Nukes option. Its not the same one on HBG because for whatever reason Doug cant change the file?

Rules followed by map, both have been scrutinized. set up sheets and player aids on HBG

if you have shoutouts for other games ( i got tons of made games, just let me know)
